Thursday Night in Stripes
One or two threads this morning refer to points made last night (like Ijah being on transfer list for over a year) at the event in Stripes.
Could anyone that was there summarise the key points for those of us who could not make it?
Cheers.

Personally I thought Wally put on a good show.
Questioned about Martin Rowlands' injury he said that there is a problem with Martin not doing enough remedial work, exercises and so on and that he felt this is party contributing to his poor fitness record.
Wally also pointed out that as Martin didn't become a full time until relatively late in the life, he feels this could be working against him and could be another factor in his poor fitness record of late. ie: the younger lads these days are getting in the correct exercise regime much earlier in life.
A questionner asked whether there was a problem with attitude from the likes of Martin and Ijah; there was also a suggestion from the floor that there had been rumours that Rowlands wants away to QPR.
Wally pointed out that in his current state he won't be going anywhere as no club's are likely to be interested.
As to Ijah, he wants to play for a bigger club and was on the transfer list last season; no clubs came in for him, he came off the list, he's now gone back on the list but still the phone hasn't been ringing for him.
As to the new players there appears to be genuine hope that Roget and Fullarton will sign in the near future; less hope for Sonko, everything seemed to be going fine with the player, the agent, the player's girlfriend but then a French agent has cropped up and complicated things.
Apparently the sale of Darren Powell was for £400,000k the only extras will be in the form of a 20% sell-on clause. He detailed how the sale of Powell went to the wire and this going so late complicated the signing of replacements, ie: Roget and Sonko.
Wally hoped that Fullarton may be fit for Colchester but probably less than 50/50 chance; outside chance for Swindon on Monday; but pretty sure for Notts County on 31 August.
Questioned about the younger players, he was delighted they were going so well and with the crowd's support for these players. Responding to a questionner he had no problems with players like Oli and Scott Marshall being in the squad as they were good pros and the younger lads could learn from them.
Didn't really want to get drawn on the off-field problems at the club, got enough on his plate as it is and there is nothing he can do to affect it.
Asked to comment about the Wimbledon situation, fully supports the fans, and said that "Sam had raped the club and then sold out to the Norwegians". Questioned where all the money had gone, presumably transfer revenues over the years.
Asked whether he thought there was any parallel with what was happening at Brentford, replied a terse and short "No".
Not much likelihood of Stephen Sidwell returning, Arsenall wanted him to go to Belgium, but this didn't work out, they probably want him to go up a level, ie: Division One.
McCammon has got about 7 or 8 games to start scoring or there are likely to be changes. Sympathetic towards Kevin O'Connor continually playing out of position; he wants to play centre forward, but he is always willing to play wherever he is told and would play at left back if asked. Hinted that his chance may come however if McCammon doesn't start delivering.
Mark Peters was signed on the basis of his free-scoring form before his broken leg; he doesn't contribute much to the game overall but he does have an eye for goal and the team is in definite need of a 20-goal forward. So far this season Peters has not lived up to his billing and was sent off last week, playing for the stiffs.
One other thing: the auction scheduled for last night was put off, due to the small number present and will now take place on 5 October with funds going to BEES UNITED.
I probably missed something really fundamental, but I made a few outline notes and that was the best I can recall, may add to this if something comes to me.
