RoryBel 25 Report post Posted November 26, 2019 Interesting to see my 'Andy Mazey' thread has just disappeared. Not been on for a few days and was looking forward to a catch up. However, its miraculously been deleted Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pedro 37 Report post Posted November 26, 2019 I think it was removed because some of the comments were a bit over the top. I hasten to add that these were comments from a couple of Swinton supporters who unfortunately started name calling each other. I must point out that a lot of comments from other Swinton supporters were informative and helpful. It's a pity that a couple of people spoilt it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If that's the case Pedro, why didn't they just remove the offensive posts. I to was looking forward to a catch up and noticed yesterday that the entire thread had been removed. 1 Quote QUIS CUSTODIAT IPSOS CUSTODES Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Larry Jones 56 Report post Posted November 27, 2019 I do think John Drake? is a bit quick on the buzzer. The Lions fans are emotive and they expressed that. However Hornets are at the last chance saloon in some ways and Andy Mazey with others could be the way forward. What is a definite is the Chris Hamilton model works for a very very very limited audience and the supporter led concept is not sustainable long term. The evidence of the supporter led model is not a dig at the good people involved at Hornets but the books were balanced by Paul and the shared stadium ownership model went west, so all in all people bailed out as it failed. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoryBel 25 Report post Posted November 27, 2019 Well, that's a bit over the top. I'm sure none of the comments were that bad! Hmmm interesting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WorrieDaleFan 25 Report post Posted November 28, 2019 Hopefully the new board will not curtail our right to discuss the season as a few Swinton fans said that they received nasty messages after criticising performances! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ste 81 26 Report post Posted November 28, 2019 This morning I have recieved a private message off our ex Chairman threatening me with legal action. Apparently you are unable to have an opinion on a person and I have just provided a statement that was made by them on a public forum. The World has gone mad! This sport is doomed.

ste 81 26 Report post Posted November 28, 2019 God knows to say I am disgusted is an understatement and I will fight this as much as I need to. I can understand if people are threatening peoples family's and them personally but just because you disagree with someone opinions and you are just stating facts. This has drawn a line in the sand for me and I will be walking away from the sport. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You've got to try and shed this negative attitude Anita...its not doing you any good whatsoever. Be more like Ste 81 and you should reread his comment above yours. Remember that when you are a groundbreaking agent for change it is never easy...you have to be brave. Shed you negative Karma Anita!...turn that old complaining book to a new page!...a new age is dawning!..."THE AGE OF THE WOLFPACK!" Can I count you in Anita (remember you have to be brave though)?

As much as I dislike Swinton I understand we need the traditional derby games! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RoryBel 25 Report post Posted November 28, 2019 Wait.... legal action over something that was posted on an open forum? What was actually said? Is this the reason my post disappeared. Has Andy Mazey, asked the lord above to delete posts concerning him?? What's he hiding Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Larry Jones 56 Report post Posted November 28, 2019 To be honest these things can get out of hand. Owen Oyston and his son a case in example. My Mazey does need to remember you will be challenged on potentially changing the name of a sporting institution like Swinton. However flip it over and he is not far wrong when Mazey says these clubs change or die. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ste 81 26 Report post Posted November 28, 2019 You couldn't make it up, I copied a post over from a public forum and apparently because I have also given my personal opinion of him to the Rochdale fans and he disagrees it's defamation of character.
