He has a shop? Pray tell, where?

His shop? What does he sell? He's not really a baker is he?:)

For the 58 squintillionth time, no they're not.
Yes they are - getting the fans to turn on the chairman because their delaying tactics are causing the money to run out.

Every time DK gets a slagging from Albion fans for not allowing enough funds for getting new players in, LDC and Norman Baker are WINNING their battle.

They are winning the battle.

What were their objectives when they set out to put the brakes on Falmer?

Footballwise - the club is currently in decline. Our decent players are sold, the crowd are getting restless and departing in droves. I fear for our financial future, if the LDC attempt to launch another appeal come March.

It's up to every single Albion fan living in LDC land to sling these people out on their ear come local election time next May.

How?? That has got absolutely nothing to do with the battle for Falmer. I have not seen anybody say here or anywhere else that he is not the best man for continuing to get the new ground.

It's a total irrelevance.

The best way to win a battle is first to divide the opposition. You only have to read this board to see that is what is happening.
McGhee in / out; Knight in / out; Wilkins in / out; would you re-new season ticket? etc etc etc. And all the while fans are staying away in their thousands.
The big difference between now and the Gillingham days is that back then the club and the supporters were 100% united in a common goal. Now big rifts are appearing all over the place and we run the risk of imploding unless we can somehow all rally behind the board, the manager and the team - whatever their current shortcomings.

Personally, I don't see that happening. :nono:

I'm more concerned about fans deserting us in our hour of need than I am about Baker & LDC. I've been very frustrated this season with the fixtures not working with my shift pattern and the first home game I can get to is Tranmere on the 18th Nov. But however we are playing and whatever position we are in, Me & little Bulldog will be parting with a lot of cash in the club shop on top of our tickets to make up for all the games we hav'nt got too. If I get any change out of £200 for the day i'll be disappointed.

His constituency office used to be a shop on School Hill, Lewes. He recently relocated to an office at the rear of the old library in East Street.

I noticed that yesterday, almost opposite my mother in laws house, nice big plaque on the wall, I hope nobody is thinking of defacing it or anything

I hope so too. Whilst we would all love to have a go at Baker, its exactly the kind of thing that the slimy little self-publicist would love. I can see him now on the front page of the Lewes Gazette and Advertiser, pictured in front of his defaced office, gravely telling the good folk of Lewes that this is exactly why he is fighting to protect them from football hooligans and such.

I could have sworn it was David Neighbour with the history of violence.

Or DeVecchi's bf, yes, but they won't be on Norman's front page will they?

As we all know, there's real hatred towards LDC and Baker, and it won't go away even when we win. And that's something they've brought on themselves through their disgusting preparedness to let the county's only league side die, and loathsome lying about the issues.

I always thought that if we got Falmer no lower than League One, we had a very good chance to rebuild (and yes, it's clearly a worry that isn't a given right now). But it won't be easy, and I hope the club realise that. Even getting the final OK is by no means the end of it.

Complacency over crowds flocking back is a massive danger. It has been so long that it will require a huge culture shift among the stayaway fans.

When the time comes I think some of the best money we could spend is to hire one of the marketing guys behind 20/20 cricket, somewhere like Surrey/Lord's, or even of the very successful rugby league outfits, who know how to get people through the door, and almost start from scratch with the hard-core fans almost 'a bonus'.

I'm more concerned about the board allowing the playing side to be run down to the point where we're staring a second successive relegation in the face than I am about fans deserting us in our hour of need and about Baker & LDC.
