MadAmster Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 1st of July.. when the commentary got to that bit, I welled up. Not ashamed of it. Just shows how much a part of me DCFC has been since my first game back in 1961. I don't think I'll be the only one to feel that emotion. Always have been, always will be...

archram Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Thanks, BuckoBeast, that brought it all back - it’s a much easier listen when you know there’s a happy ending! David Clowes, sounding so sincere in offering us a future . I hope we never take for granted what he did in securing DCFC Adslegend, Zag zig, Steve How Hard? and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 (edited) 8 hours ago, BuckoBeast said: Again, thank you David for saving our club Love the man. Properly down to earth and humble, but there's a steely determination that's palpable and you can tell what was in part, an act of mercy, has now now morphed into a grander vision. Far from feeling the pressure and weight of fan expectation, the man seems positively enthused. Seems to me he's loving it really and I did worry about that a little. That said, he is a fan himself, so he's every right to feel chuffed! As for the vision, well it seems that these days more than ever, sustainability is absolutely key to a successful football operation, so to hear him echo that ethos is also really reassuring. It's not sexy, but for me, above and beyond all other considerations, are the checks and balances that ensure we never make the same mistakes again. And talking of mistakes, I really hope I'm not wrong again, as Clowes does seem to me at least to be the perfect custodian for this grand old club of ours. Please can I not be wrong again! In all seriousness, I do have enormous faith in the man. Listening to him talk, I think it's safe to assume that there won't be the overnight change that some seem to expect, but rather incremental growth, built on solid foundations. I get that some folk want to see us challenging in the Championship straight away*, why wouldn't they, but slow and steady is all music to my ears, as I believe that a more measured and strategic plan is far more likely to yield longer term success, than the bang or bust approach adopted by so many clubs these days. And if Clowes, whose first year losses amounted to £7 million, is prepared to be patient enough to build this club back up the right way, as well as footing the bill, surely the fan base should be too? It's food for thought. *Irrespective, we do still have a game to negotiate on Saturday and hopefully all the players and coaching staff are fully focussed on that right now, as this is potentially a huge step back towards whence we came and if any supporters are due a party, it's us lot 😋 COYBR Edited April 24 by Comrade 86 SKRam, Crewton, Kathcairns and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason, that's the bit I remember most. DesertRam, Ramrob, Crewton and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
