To be fair to Maurice I understood he was talking about the "bar stool folk" Alan as he has mentioned them more than once in his posts

I have no recollection of him Alan,when was he here?

I would hazard a guess in the early 2000's as he was also the chairman of RMI when we were in the Conference. I know the family still keep an eye on things even though they're in New Zealand these days.

Not sure if 'bad club' would be the phrase John, but certainly bad habits that we are only now truly learning from ie relying on a backer's personal funds until the pot runs dry.

Matt's correct. Before Mr. Nolan and after Mr Higgins, I think. He's the reason I started working at the club, and was also the reason I stayed - out of personal loyalty to a true gent and passionate sports fan.
