Former Billericay owner Glenn Tamplin takes over Romford FC

I shall take particular delight in solo singing "I told you so" in a pleasing baritone, as I always do when these things happen.

I give you - ex-Northwich Victoria owner & cocaine dealer extraordinaire, Jim Rushe*.

I took great delight in singing "I told you so" to the Fanboiz that backed him to the hilt until the bitter end, when the breakaway Club 1874 Northwich played them in the FA Cup at the beginning of the Season. 1874 beat 1890. Good times.



* not that I'm saying Mr Tamplin is of that ilk at all - but I do find his unilateral and unforced expression "I've never sold a gramme of gear in my life" somewhat perplexing - no-one said you did, there was not even a suggestion of it until you made that peculiar little outburst...now that's raised a queer question in my mind...TAMTAM CVI BONO?

When their club goes under because Tamplin is in prison, they will get absolutely no sympathy. Let's hope their club ceases to exist, and they can all go back to complaining about supporting west ham.
I don’t agree with that. I would take no pleasure in seeing the extinction of Billericay. Yes, some people attached to the club right now are not the finest specimens of humanity, but that will change.

They’re an old club (founded 1880) with a great history, much like our own club. I’m pretty sure that many of their longer term fans are uncomfortable with the direction the club has taken in the past year or so.

Spot on, saved me typing it.

Yes, you are right of course - I might have got a bit carried away at 11.30 on a Friday night. Apologies.
 
Hey, seeing as it's an hour before kick-off and Glenn's mind is undoubtedly on football matters - can someone ask him or BTFC if the £1.6m advance he gave himself from AGP Steel is where the playing budget came from?
Asking for a friend.

And, whilst someone's asking Glenn/BTFC on Social Media, can they also ask if he's told Lloyd's Bank [who hold a Charge over AGP Steel] about the £1.6m advance he gave himself?

Asking for a bank, not a friend.

Three subs made, three players still on the pitch with yellow cards.

Tampz is such a cunning manager/owner/self-sacking/self-reemploying whizz!
 
I'm beginning to feel a little sorry for Mr Tamplin.
Had he not been so arrogant, I'd have felt a lot more so.

Clearly, there is an abundance of overpaid & under-talented Mercenaries over in Lower Essexshire.

Good.

Darling, given the challenges faced by the Club recently, I think perhaps those people are going to regret having bitten off more than they can chew.
I just hope all you chaps, chapesses & non-league dogs are able to continue to transmit this energy to Gavin & the lads and finish the job.

Football is with you - Vorwärts mit dem Hamlet[TM]!
