If nobody from or connected to GI is involved, you won't be alone in being mightily relieved. I think many currently understand what they represent and have read articles about their business elsewhere. Not in our local press, of course.

If GI are actually involved in any way in bidding to have ownership of the club it means their MD has chosen to lie to the press. So that means they have a CV that doesn't give much hope they actually deliver on many of their projects and they tell porkie pies. It means ( as they have said it ) they don't care what division we are in, and are economical with the truth, and have an awful track ( sorry) record. It means they achieve run down or pulled down stadia, don't seem to satisfactorily deliver any projects that are in anyway sport related and prefer not to be truthful. I fear it says everything that GI although working in this particular area for many years don't seem to have developed any real or satisfactory relationship with any of the football or sporting clubs who have become involved with them.
Somehow we have to do better than GI if as a club we wish to survive. We can cling to hope of some form from all the other names mentioned in so far as they all seem to have some empathy somewhere with football. However GI don't have that and worst still seem to go out of their way to avoid any such empathy.
We are clearly in totally dire straits. However please let's not creat our own shipwreck.

I would like this site to give a straight supporter view to straight question. No side answers. IfF we had such a choice. GI or Smurthwaite.

I would have thought the answer was blindingly obvious!

Total no brainer. Anybody who is interested in running a viable football club. This is not GI.

Yes it is blindly obvious to me but perhaps as fans we need to call a name and just hope that person replies...

I'm not 100% convinced even GI Joe wants GI. Not that our local media has reported what is readily available press wise about their activity elsewhere. I have long since been of the opinion they would finish us off, just as they did with the only other sporting venue and club I used to frequent. They offer plenty of promises... oh, I can't be bothered. It's all out in the public domain.

Comment on here and elsewhere on GI has been visited many times. Really hope it is not them but worry no optimistic noises are coming out about new owners with even Dave Thomas outside the loop and talking of rumours about a GI/Masters combination. link |

Looks like we are in deep pooh! I assume you are referring to this article: linkIn particular this: " Eighteen months after chairman David Phillips' board assumed control, a group including major creditors Gaming International and Truro City chairman Peter Masters remains the favourite to take over United.
All other contenders, either rejected or withdrawn, appear to have faded out of the picture." That suggests the Herald know that it's GI or bust... |

"D" day fast aproaches and "those in the know" are typically bandying about doom and gloom.
The end of the world is nigh and GI and Masters are the conspiritors who are going to shaft the club good and proper.
Is this really the case - has the club reached a tipping point in its history?
I think I prefer to wait and see what's disclosed on Friday rather than trust the missinformed "in the know" egotists who claim to know all on other fan sites and if we are doomed and destined for the scrap heap its basically because it makes no business or economic sense and the vast majority of the local population really don't care any more.
The club as it stands is in a corner with little chance of fighting its way out. We are at the mercy of any person or organisation who wishes to take advantage the fact and the supporters that remain have little or no power to stop it from happening.
Every chance we will go the same way as Hereford/ Darlington etc a shame but did we honestly care less about those clubs at the time of its demise and will anyone really care if we go the same way?
