Dear David Bellotti & Bill Archer

[Lady Whistledown]

Build a bonfire
Build a bonfire
Put Bellotti on the top
Put Bill Archer in the middle
And we'll burn the fecking lot.

Fourteen years, it's taken us to get to this point. Fourteen YEARS. Years of getting rained on and crap pitches and paying vastly over the odds for the worst facilities in the Football League, years of travelling to the Pissfield and having the piss taken and never being able to progress. Thanks to you both.

Forgive & forget, they say, well finally, when we're happily ensconced in our fantastic new stadium and the good times are rolling, I might just about be able to forget or at least move on. But forgive? Fourteen years is a LOT to forgive someone for.

Anyone up for a ceremonial moving-on bonfire over the summer?

Bill Archer and David Bellotti's legacy will be a shabby retail park.

Dick Knight and Tony Bloom's legacy will be the glorious American Express Community Stadium.

Says it all really.

The good guys won.

Don't forget Greg Stanley,he was part of the terrible trio.

Never Forgive... NEVER FORGET.. They tried to Kill our Club....

 

[bhaexpress]

Effigies of all three short be burnt ceremonially on the pitch at the Amex as well as Withdean, not forgiven and never will be. I hope for their sakes that they're cremated or else I can see their final resting places getting a fair bit of desecration. Rest in Pee (and no.2s) I say.

You bastards tried to kill this club, so no, I will never forget and I most certainly will never forgive.

I'm lucky enough (weatherwise) to sit in the North Stand and every time it rains I regard the correct and proper name of what faces me as the Archer Stand and I boil inside. Forgiveness is not on my agenda.

Not as an idea as it sounds. Ditchling Beacon has occasional bonfires for Royal occasions and the like. Might be gven permission?

Well now you've said it, I like the idea of a whole series of bonfires across the top of the Downs, like on the millennium.

But one would do. Bring food, beer, pictures of Archer & Bellotti, and get toasting. Now that would be closure

The 3 of them are further down the line in the circle of life-we have come full circle(thankfully)their time's must be nearly up - is the best i can say after they R£$% our club.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Is there still time for them to be given a concrete overcoat at Falmer ?

 

[Early Doors]

What goes around comes around. What they did was wrong on so many levels, and I firmly believe they will get the dues owed them at some point.
And we, finally, get to move into a shiny new stadium.
Move on yes. Forgive and forget NEVER!

 

[rocker959]

Never forgive them

They shat on our tradition , history , support and almost killed our club and our religion. Archer , Bellotti and Stanley one day we will have the chance to spit on all of your graves as you spat at us. Move we have to and have in such a bigger and better way than we could have dreamed-thank you Dick, Tony, Gus and all -Forget or Forgive ? Never !!

The changing of the clubs " articles of association" is what drew the attention of the FA and showed them for what they were incompetent at best and downright verminous
