As a member of the ruling body what is your personal opinion on the state of the club as of this moment on and off the feild?

What are your personal thoughts on mac as our Manager when you read the number of posts demmanding him go?

What are your thoughts on the apathy surrounding the club at all levels?

Do you think all the infighting within the CFSS and with the CFS board has affected our survival?

Do you personally believe this club has a future? (truth required for this answer )

What are your personal thoughts on the CFSS i.e do you believe they have harmed or hindered this wonderful club?

Why have the CFSS not sort investment as an alterative to Ma Hubbard?

Last one when is there going to be some real tangible good news relating to our club we have had none since the DB era?

These are your persoal thoughts and require your personal thoughts not the usual CFSS garbage, we all know the CFSS days are numbered so you can say what you think can't you?

I am not sure that we would get better and any pay-off would mean one less in the squad for the rest of the season. I think RMc has done well with what he has but that he is a bit cautious sometimes and too loyal to his players.

What are your thoughts on the apathy surrounding the club at all levels?

I see a lot of people working very hard to move the Club forward. Because I have seen this I find the negativity hard to understand. However I can see that a lack of information has not helped (although I understand the reasons) and some have linked some indifferent results to this to paint an unfair picture.

Do you think all the infighting within the CFSS and with the CFS board has affected our survival?

I didn't see any infighting and believe that all the CFSS Board understood the position as soon as there was a shortfall on stadium finance.

Do you personally believe this club has a future? (truth required for this answer )

With the current level of investment and no new ground I don't think we can survive in this division but we are still a viable football club. At a new stadium with only a couple of million extra debt we should be looking for at least the odd season in the next division up.

What are your personal thoughts on the CFSS i.e do you believe they have harmed or hindered this wonderful club?

CFSS or something similar was needed to save the Club. By appointing the CFC Board as managing agents the society admitted it didn't have the in-house knowledge or funding to run the Club. In retrospect a suggestion that a separate commercial organisation could exist along side the football club was not practical. There were no real commercial income streams open to CFSS that were not better handled by CFC. However the years of stability with an improving league position and more manageable debts seems a good thing. I am not aware that, with the exception of FE's aborted take-over, that distinct investment has been rejected. Although more debentures could have been taken out if needed.

Why have the CFSS not sort investment as an alterative to Ma Hubbard?

No commercial funding could be found at the level of the debentures or RPSs. For all that some criticise BH and his colleagues he is as friendly a bank as you could find!

Last one when is there going to be some real tangible good news relating to our club we have had none since the DB era?

I thought starting that season was good news as was the agreement of the CVA. I have enjoyed watching cup draws this season to see who we are to play and us appearing on television. I also welcomed the LP being confirmed with the new stadium as an important enabling factor for the A61 development.

These are your persoal thoughts and require your personal thoughts not the usual CFSS garbage, we all know the CFSS days are numbered so you can say what you think can't you?

Thankyou once again for your answers some I think come from the heart rather than the head but there you are, I think in this day and age with the level of investment we have which is next to zero, we cannot survive in league football and the club as a whole is tettering on non existance. This club can never be a viable propostion to any investers and that worries me as Hubbard seems reluctant to give it the investment to move forward rather than the ammount he gives at the moment which just slows the decline

You say the Club cannot be a viable proposition to any investor but want BH to put his money in?

I think we have found out about the availability of investment over recent months. You can only get rich in lower league football with absolute ownership and a willingness to crush the dreams of supporters.

What we are trying to do is obtain investment against a business plan that involves a new stadium. No riches to be had but some moderate guaranteed returns.

But while this goes on the club is being starved, the fans are deserting us in droves, we are playing the worst football for years and we are staring relagation in the face, seems like the band on the titantic, but let everyone at the club tell us how we are getting better every season as we slowly sink
