| PR | Order everybody, let's begin. |
| ND | Thanks for coming everybody. 1st agenda item, Prince Edward update, and as usual, Kip is here. Over to you Kip, what's happening? |
| KH | Well, I've had a really busy time man, loads of meetings, and I think things are basically moving ahead really well, and I'm sure that in a few months time we'll have something really concrete to report. |
| ND | So not a lot's happened then Kip? |
| KH | Well that's not strictly true, trying to get all these different groups to talk to each other is really difficult, but I've spoken to lots of people, and without saying anything definitely good or bad, they're making all the right noises. |
| PR | Excellent work Kip, I think you deserve a new car and a whopping great bonus, Dominic, can you arrange this? |
| DW | But Mr Chairman, the money isn't going to last very long if we…… |
| PR | Next agenda item Nick? |
| ND | The share issue, much response to your offer document Kip? |
| KH | Well its been a little slow to begin with, but I fully expect over the next few months that things will pick up, and I fully expect to raise the money forecast. |
| PR | I don't understand why the cheques aren't flooding in. It’s a great deal surely? What's wrong with our supporters? They don't know the half of what goes on in this football club, I mean I work nearly 25 a days, 8 days a week, at great personal sacrifice to my business, my partner, my house - is it too much to ask them to invest just £1000 of their own money into our future? By the way, have you organised my £50 grand of free shares yet Kip? |
| KH | Things are moving along nicely in that direction, and I fully expect to have some good news on that front in the next few months. |
| PR | Good work Kip, Dom - another cheque please! |
| DW | But…. |
| QF | I think my penis is getting larger |
| ND | Next agenda item, publicity, anything to report Graham? |
| GS | |
| ND | How did I guess that you weren't going to say anything Graham? |
| PR | Fantastic work Graham. And whilst I'm on the subject, Kip, have you arranged that intimate evening with Kate Hoey yet? Those supporters just don't understand what we have to do sometimes. |
| ND | Next up, I have a letter from Steve Hibberd, I'm afraid he's resigned again. |
| RC | That's the third time he's resigned in 3 years, the first time a Wealdstone director has done that since 1957……. |
| ND | Who let Roy in? Roy, repeat after me, I am not a director. |
| PR | But who's going to do all the work though? What did he do again? |
| ND | I know just the person. Anyone got the number of Wealdstone's Number One Fan? He'll do anything |
| KH | Great thinking. Better still though, get him to do the work, but don't give him a seat on the Board. That'll not only piss him off big time, but we can have the free shares that he would have had. |
| PR | Brilliant Kip - Dom, cheque book. |
| DW | But…… |
| ND | Next up, what's happening with the playing budget? |
| PR | I've spoken to Gordon, and as things have started so well, it seems a shame to jeopardise things. So, gentlemen, trust me. I cannot, I will not afford to lose my manager. He is the most fantastic person to walk this earth, I simply cannot cope without him, and I want to give him whatever he wants. I am not prepared to watch this club lose week in week out just for the sake of preserving hundreds of thousands of pounds. My eggs are in my basket, my shirt is nailed to the mast, my hovercraft is full of eels. You all know how much I care, I am passionate about this football club, I love this football club, all I ask, is just trust me, trust me, trust me….. |
| DH | Through the chair, I'd just like to say that, you Mr Chairman, are in fact the most fantastic person ever to walk this earth. The sun shineth from your bottom and hath done so since you took over at this club. Let everyone gathered in this room today not forget that you have turned this club around and we owe you an enormous debt. I for one am delighted to support you, and am prepared to continue to wear these blinkers until the day I die. |
| ND | Who let Danny in? Supporters Club meeting is tomorrow! |
| DH | Apologies Mr Chairman, your Grace, your Majesty…. |
| ND | Final item. We've had a letter from the League. They want us to print the word Ryman in a different font size than all other words. But worse, they're very concerned about the continual heckle they get in our matchday programme, particularly in your column Graham. Anything to say? |
| GS | |
| HL | Am I still wanted here? Or should I go back to Amersham? |
| PR | Meeting closed, time for bed, although I may stay up, do a bit of worrying, see if I can't develop those bags under my eyes a bit.. |
