I hope its not something we have to worry about any time soon, but even if SO'C did decide to leave, you would hope he wouldn't leave us in the lurch as the last few owners have. I would have thought he would hang about until a suitable buyer could be found.

Only the last owner has left us in the lurch not the last few.

You now seem to have the drinking culture that wire had up until about 12 months ago. I wonder what or who the connection is ?

We had players on the pop the night before games in Stockton Heath and nothing was done about it - not a good example.

I don't think so... I'm not quite certain it's a case that Paul Cullen drives players to drink. I used to live in Penketh and now live in Stockton Heath. On quite a few occasions I had heard that Cullen did the rounds of local pubs trying to catch players in the pubs as he had banned them on certain nights.

If anything there was quite a lot of suggestion that Simon Moran was a fan of players socialising and all the things that go along with that (certainly in Mr Briers and Mr Gleeson's case).

I didnt mean he drove them to drink. I meant he knew it was going on but didnt bother doing anything about it. He didnt have to be a genius to find where they were drinking as they were always in the London Bridge. I never saw PC once at night time in Stockton Heath, unless he was undercover .

As for players socialising Tony Smith is promoting that as part of the teamwork ethic because we had factions within the club but that didnt mean having a few pints the night before a match.

T KL is quite often in the same pub but to his credit ive never seen him before a game.

This is the first incident we've had in a few years. I wouldn't say that would substantiate any sort of 'culture'. Quite the opposite it seems a one off which has been delt with.

Well you have to demolish before you can rebuild!
