Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 I have just received the following: Simon Great to see this group with plenty of members. I represent a group of fans who have already formed a company SAVE OUR SAINTS. We have been working on a proposal for a "Fans Consortium" of some sort for the last few weeks. We planned to go "public" after the Forest game but now the goalposts have moved(!) we are now working tirelessly to "launch" next week. Its important that we galvanise the supporter base and all pull together to achieve what could be monumental. I would be grateful if you could use this group to canvass opinion on people contributing....anything from £100 will be as important as £10000! If you have any questions please email me at saintsfansconsortium@yahoo.com Many thanks Mark
JonnyLove Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 Not to sound pessimistic but is that Mark from LLS fame and also if they are serious why a yahoo address.
Rattlehead Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 anything from £100 will be as important as £10000 One has to question this guy's financial acumen.
Rattlehead Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 I'm afraid this idea is complete b*llocks and, for that reason, I'm out.
Colinjb Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 How would we know if a 'company' set up for this purpose is legitimate?
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 3 April, 2009 Author Posted 3 April, 2009 How would we know if a 'company' set up for this purpose is legitimate? We wouldn't, and I wouldn't suggest anyone put money into it until proof has been seen that this is completely legitimate.
brmbrm Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 Some poor man in Nigeria emailed me about this this morning. He has £100,000,000 to buy the saints but he has to do it through my bank account. What a generous gesture. i emailed him all my bank detials and am waiting with anticipation.
Viking Warrior Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 Im a bit suspicious about this coming on a forum like this asking to donate money anything from £100 to £10. 000 what about those that can only afford a few quid? Me Im very suspicious of this, can the mods urgently check it out, and from a yahoo address. problem some skate on a wind up misssion
Dog Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 Please post details of the bank account number and sort code, and I will deposit my load. Love, George Akinbossaniagra

Craig David,LLS,air-headed fans,Saints Trust and so on. How long before that spotty faced herbert who organised the "protests" surfaces with a group ! Sir David Frost c'mon......................
eelpie Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 No monies should be sent to any organisation until the administrator has approved its practicality and authenticity imo
Made in Southampton Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 No monies should be sent to any organisation until the administrator has approved its practicality and authenticity imo Seconded

How long before that spotty faced herbert who organised the "protests" surfaces with a group ! Sir David Frost c'mon...................... But if the alternative is no club, what choice is there?

How long before that spotty faced herbert who organised the "protests" surfaces with a group ! Sir David Frost c'mon...................... Oh dear Manji at least the kid tried to do something for what he believed in. Not saying it was wrong or right, but when people stand up for what they believe in they deserve at least a little respect. Unlike those who just criticise. I am doing little to help so have no soap box to stand on. Who knows what Craig David can bring to the table? i'm prepared at the moment to be open to anything that will Save our Club, Unlike you who only appears to continue to criticise. So as the big I am what you are personally doing to help?

LostBoys Posted 4 April, 2009 Posted 4 April, 2009 I am not prepared to criticise anyone who wants to help. It is very easy to hide behind a forum handle and deride other peoples efforts. I would suggest that if the consortia is for real they do actually form a company for the purpose with a web site and non yahoo email address and then go public in the Echo and local TV. In that way people can see it is genuine.

I am currently only letting people know through the Facebook group I set up, and as we all know this guy could be a chancer, but I would not encourage anyone to invest until the company is confirmed as being legal and above board. It was only just an idea.
Dan Johnson Posted 4 April, 2009 Posted 4 April, 2009 You must wire da monies immediately... made me chuckle.... GOOOOOD AFTERNOON SIR...

"So what did you do to save the club you claim to love from adminstration?" "Well I was very sarcastic, very dry and have nearly 1,000 posts on a interweb forum..."
