Learned recently that the club effectively sacked a long-time training volunteer - one of the last remnants of ‘Dad’s Army’ - telling him his services were no longer required because he “wasn’t taking it seriously enough”.
This is a man who for YEARS gave up his time to the club to attend every training session, pumping up footies beforehand, collecting & distributing them during drills, basically doing whatever was needed to make sure sessions ran in a slick fashion. Then all the donkey work afterwards as well when everyone else ****ed off.
And a right loyal bastard too who would (blindly) defend Ken, the board and the establishment to the hilt whenever the subject was brought up socially, because he couldn’t bear to see a split in the supporter base of his beloved club.
Yet they still told him his services were no longer required - then publicly advertised for volunteers the next day!
They’ll sack him but they won’t sack Ken, the biggest time-wasting, unserious loser of them all.
Talk about a club that’s completely lost its soul.
