Guys, let's keep it somewhat decent eh?
The guy might well be everything that has been asserted but the comments here are sick. Leave it out

I apologise profusely if my comments offended anyone but I can't muster a single scintilla of sympathy for Mr Noades.
Agree. What he did to BFC has been well documented. Wishing anyone, as some have on here, such ill health might be best kept away from our message boards.
As 'nana says "decent" is the best way.
FWIW by coincidence a friend had a meeting with him yesterday and thought he was in quite a bit better health than at deaths door. Think he owns 6 golf clubs now.

Excuse my ignorance but how many golf clubs do you tend to have in a full set? Six doesn't sound that many for a man of such wealth![]()
Its a bit OTT about one of our most successful managers. He signed some great players, improved a lot of non-league players like Powell and Owusu, made the club a massive profit on Hereidersen but as owner his business plan fell to pot with the collapse of the transfer market. When he fell out of love and got bored it was another matter obviously.
I don't mind if you (and others) lack sympathy; it's the vitriol that's not required. We're above that aren't we?

I wish him well and hope his and his family's suffering are not too great.
I am not raising a smile over the news but won't be shedding a tear for sure.
Not a nice man but it is pretty sick when people delight in someone who has a probable terminal illness.
That's how I feel nocoat.
.......................without wishing to upset anyone further on this board, but aren't we all suffering from a terminal illness (and I don't mean that as being Bees fans!!); it's called life...................maybe the Gods might just be with us to give him sufficient time to see us in the Championship.....................
..............as an afterthought - at least he has the time in which to put his affairs in order, there are many who don't have that opportunity.................
Well aren't you a little ray of sunshine![]()

I bet he has some real deep regrets in the way he's acted over the years.. but I don't care as he couldn't give a flying **** about us..

what a load of bollllocks.
Who knows he may have left the club something in his will.... Dont write him off as a wrongin just yet he may change on his death bed and do the right thing by us

AFCBrentford or Woking Bees, that was very, very close.
I may mock and jeer Noades but I have my reasons.
I was one of a few who stood outside Woking FCs ground,
saw the coffin and nearly witnessed the final nail go in.
Noades will get no sympathy from the likes of me, even if it
others feel uncomfortable. Griffin Park was destined to pay
for another golf course.[/QU
You are so right, there is absolutely no doubt that Noades wanted Griffin park to sell. and leave us in a sh*t hole, that would eventually close the club down. Anyone that feels otherwise needs their head testing. Us fans that are still lucky enough to go down to Gp owe you and a handfull of others so much gratitude, because without you Noades would have succeeded. The do gooders need to realize the way you and I feel about him. He is not a pleasent person.

Have we approved the Noades Urinal in the new ground yet?
