RED CAT.........HORSFALL IS OWNED BY THE COUNCIL AND IS IN TRUST FOR SPORTS USE ONLY,SO YOUR ARGUMENT AS TO WHY BOB IS IN IT DOESNT STAND UP,BOB HAS PURCHASED LAND AWAY FROM HORSFALL TO BUILD US A STADIUM,AND I FOR ONE HAVE FAITH IN HIM TO DO JUST THAT,AND I DONT CARE IF HE PUTS A HOUSE OR TWO THERE EITHER{BUT AGAIN THE LAND IS SPORTS USE,SO I DONT THINK THAT ARE HIS INTENTIONS ANYWAY}BOB ,IF YOU TALK TO HIM IN PERSON IS PASSIONATE ABOUT BPA,HIS WAY OF DOING THINGS MAY NOT BE THE NORMAL WAY, BUT HE DOES WHAT HE SAYS HE IS GOING TO DO,AND AS I SAID IN ANOTHER POST,I JUST THINK THIS SPAIN MULLARKEY STEMS FROM HIS PROMISE TO HAVE A TOUR OF SPAIN PRE SEASON,GOING PEAR SHAPE BECAUSE OF SQUAD COMINGS AND GOINGS,ETC,AND RATHER THAN JUST TAKING WHO WAS AVAILABLE ON THEIR JOLLIES KEPT UP THE FARCICLE STORY AND IT SNOWBALLED,THE ONLY FAULT I CAN SEE IS THAT BOB DIDNT WANT TO SHOW HE HAD FAILED TO DELIVER ON THE DEAL,COME ON BOB,PLEASE JUST APOLOGISE THE FANS WILL FORGIVE YOU IM SURE
Ok John as seen as you are one of the few who talk sence on here, i am very sorry onbehalf of myself, kev and JD for letting this what started out as a prank about RP and the Hatrick in Spain, as stated earlier the games were played against teams stated albeit lower standard than we were led to believe, as for the hand full of supporters who have taken this episode into orbit, that is their decision and i can do no more with that, as for the others then if you trust and believe in me and other Board members then actions speak louder than words.... and further more can a line now be drawn under this matter and turning our attention to winning the league....
I am not in this for the money nor ever have been nor never will be, i personally donated circa £10k a month to fund BPA with donations from kev and JD aswell and will be giving BPA even more this season to fund another promotion fight and again the year after... one thing i will guarantee is that i will bring success to this club and i will get them back into football league status as previously mentioned despite all the mocking and piss-taking this fuels my determination even more and anyone who knows me, knows i play hardball and will fight tooth and nail to achieve what i say, i will do... as for the ones who will never believe a word both me and the board say, then again that is your human right but i will prove you wrong aswell...
RE: the Phoenix Park Site, this was a commercial move i took with the purchase to ensure BPA have no one to answer to and our future success is in our own hands and not hampered by red tape, we looked at the purchase of Horsfall but this would be a long slog, we looked at going back to Little Horton, this again would have been too expensive, we looked at the Odsal Sporting Village and that was nor ever will be a non starter as latest press have proved.
So i went out and found this was the perfect site... after 2 meeting with LCC and Metro Rail for sighting a new station on there things turned out better than expected... and again despite all the pisstakers, this makes me even more determined and another thing i will guarantee BPA WILL BE PLAYING ON THERE INSIDE THE NEXT TWO YEAR....
On a final note, i am personally sorry for any upset caused...
Yours Bob

dont worrie bob what you have done for avenue is a dream. i am 21 years old and been suporting avenue since i was in a pram,
i even ball boy'ed for years and years,
i never thought avenue would make it into the leugue and i never thought avenue would have a ground of the own, but with you and the rest of the BOD it is possible.

I have to say as an avenue fan of 19 years and from my 1st match at only 2 months old I cannot remember the club being in such a strong position, yes we were founding members of the conference north but we were never ready for it hense we suffered 2 back to back relegations.
Now we have great financial stability all be it due to Bob putting in £10k of his own hard earned money, people will always have doubts about Bob and his aims, if some one had come in and said to me Avenue would be back in the league in 10 years before Bob came in I'd never of believed it, now he's here he has a plan and a great one at that I have no doubt we'll be there the time scale I'm not fully sure on as I think it may take 1 or two years longer but so far Bob has been right about what he's said so hopefully he's right about this.
No Avenue fan can deny that we are in a much better position now than we ever have been since we re-formed and things are only looking brighter. I have to urge all Avenue fans to put aside what petty squarels they have with a Board member or a fellow fan and to turn up week in week out and watch as the club we all love gets promoted yet again and gets 1 step closer to the league!

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Rory was actually in Majorca at the time. But one of the guys who
played for us was also called Patterson, but was not Rory. We weren't
100% about it. It was a bit of a wind-up on our part" - Bradford Park
Avenue director Kevin Hainsworth admits that, contrary to reports
that appeared on the club website, new signing Rory Patterson did not
score a hat-trick against FC Soto Grande on the club's pre-season
tour of Spain. Hainsworth also admitted that, contrary to reports
that appeared on the club website, the quality of the sides BPA faced
were "not to the strength that we were initially led to believe".

well done Bob. It's been an embarrassing few days as an Avenue fan, so please lets not have a repeat performance.
Wish you and the team all the best for the coming season.

Errrrrrr......
Conference North Briggsy, that was a better position than we are at now.
Yes the team is looking good on paper and hopefully we can go on to win this league. The only down side is that it would have been nice to have Bob's financial input a few years ago when we needed it.
Anyway, onwards and upwards so they say (whoever "they" are?).
If Bob says we'll win the league then who are we to doubt that?
Rob.
