In an attempt to kill this off once and for all for the benefit of
Dave the Gaffer, Large One or anybody else who thinks that I ama personal friend of the above 'crooks'.
The company that I ran had a contract to carry out some work for Greg Stanley at The Blue Peter Club and because of this I was drawn into his circle of friends including Club Christmas parties etc when Alan Mullery was the manager(2nd time).
At all times GS was fully aware of my love for BHA and suggested to Brian Bedson that I should be given a seat on the board as a supporter. BB turned this down saying if he has the money put it up and we will consider it we do not want people on the board with no money.
I continued to work for him during the time leading up to him becoming Chairman.
GS then got nicked for throwinga brick through a window in Doncaster and the papers made a great deal of 'Football Club Chairman arrested as a hooligan' which he was although one with too much money. As a result of this arrest we fell out because I considered him to be a bad advert for BHA and my compny lost his contract. I have never ever met Archer face to face.
Like many other supporters I did what I thought was my best during the reign of A B & S to overthrow them and inso doing arranged with a business colleague for a consortium of 3 men with a combined total of £80m to buy th club and rebuild it in situ.
During these times I had occassion to speak with a number of Football Club Chairmen on this matter and the overall consensus from them was to stick with A B & S as they had money which DK didnt, well not sufficient to purchase a football league club.
The rest about DK is history now but yes I am bitter towards him although I do appreciate what he has done because I feel that his appointment was a lost opportunity for us and that had we stuck with the other three or brought in my consortium we would PROBABLY have a new ground by now.
For the record I have not seen GS or been in contact with him since about 1996. As I have said I HAVE NEVER MET ARCHER face to face to talk to.
