That's fair enough.
Personally I have turned it in; I don't go to matches and haven't seen the Bees play since last February. I have never been in the boardroom or directors box (that's my decision but they are not my kind of people) and I just view the whole thing rather dispassionately now. The main point is that I have stuck it out as an avid Bees supporter since 1947 and strangely enough even in the darkest days there always seemed to be some hope. Now I have no hope and hence no expectations; there is nothing that I can do to improve anything (indeed the official response would probably be that there is nothing to improve and that everything is going swimmingly).
You perhaps miss the point of most of my posts which are self-indulgent but have always been written with a view to trying to get supporters to think a bit about where we have been heading. This goes back to my early anti-Noades days.
After I wrote on here several months ago that I had not heard a peep out of Bees United since my cheque cleared I had a little flurry mostly from Joe Bourke and a couple from Brian Burgess. It was clear that if I wanted any further information then I only had to ask for it but the point is that I don't care anymore. I have always been more interested in the off-the-field aspect of things and the corporate governance rather than commenting on the midfield or lack of one. However after Noades departure from the management of the club there is clearly not the same level of interest in how BU is owning the club and how the board of their subsidiary BFC is shaping up or indeed what it was asked to deliver. We were told by Greg Dyke that the BFC board has a Five Year Plan but I don't know anyone who even has a clue what is in it. I submitted two questions to Mr Dyke for his GPG interview which were :
1) When was Day One of the BFC Five Year Plan
2) Where according to the Five Year Plan are we expected to be both on and off the field at the end of Year One of the Plan.
They somehow were either not asked or got muddled up with many of the other questions.
You are quite right..........if I cared about my dosh then no doubt I could bowl down to Griffin Park and start tub-thumping but the reality is that I am not too bothered about the loan and have already advised Brian Burgess that I will roll it over in 2009 if that's what BU wants. It's been over for me now with Brentford since the "take-over".........I've got better things to do frankly although I'll always help them out with monies if it makes sense to me. When I post it is effectively for the two generations of Brentford fans behind me but frankly anything that I write just falls on mostly deaf ears or they are poorly written and people neither see nor get the point. I do not kid myself that I have any influence at all and my sojourns on the GPG are just time-fillers.
