If you need to know more then do your own research. I couldn't care less about your ulterior motives, or your opinion of me, never did

There are a few people still active within the club who have unfairly been cast as guilty by association but who do and have done lots of good for the club and the fans and who genuinely do care. I suspect Andrew falls into this category but for those who don't know every individual who is associated with the club and who has been associated with the club these past 6 or 7 years (most of them absolute cretins by the way IMO) then it's easy to generalize and chuck everyone into the same soiled bucket. Ironically as i have just done.

Obviously in this case with Mr Candy it is wholly unwarranted but i can see why Busterjames has done so. Sheer frustration.

The fans of this club have been shit upon from great heights from an alarmingly high number of people involved with TUFC over the past few years and it just keeps on shitting it down. The reason being that a significant majority of people at the club in the past have been bellends and a significant majority of people there now are bellends. Andrew Candy and perhaps a select few more excepted from being bellends. I'm sure he'll be relieved to read that!

If everyone at the club had integrity and the decency to front up and communicate like Andrew Candy then the club would be in a far, far healthier place than it is right now.

Maybe someone can produce a TUFC lanyard that says "ANDREW CANDY - ONE OF THE GOOD GUYS AT TUFC"? Or probably as it is now - "ANDREW CANDY - THE GOOD GUY AT TUFC".

I believe it relates to a disagreement last Saturday about one of the ball boys and his perceived lack of action. The ball boy in question is my grandson who is 8 years old and only started helping out at the Club as they are often short of ball boys. He is still learning and generally does a good job. He will be the only ball boy present no doubt this afternoon as he covers the Truro games as well.I was naturally defensive and if Busterjames is the person I spoke to, he felt I had been rude to him which I do not believe I was. However, I am prepared to apologise as I do not want any ill feeling. For the record, I work on a part-time basis covering the licencing of the stadium, dealing with the Safety Advisory Group, health & safety, contracts of employment, HR advice and commercial contracts. Attending on match days, including the Truro games is done on a voluntary basis. I do not think I have upset BJ before and of course he is entitled to his opinion of me but I really think there are more important issues and people at the Club than me to worry about. If BJ wants to come and discuss his feelings over a cup of coffee I will be very pleased to see him and hopefully iron out what I hope are misconceptions. I am not anyone's puppet. Thank you to friends, ex-colleagues and others not immediately known to me for your kind words of support which are greatly appreciated.

Just to balance Jerry's argument

It sums up what is wrong with the club no connection or communication with the fans.

I am not sure many fans if not happy would just ‘go somewhere else’

"The fat kid" warming up had no relevance to the game, which maintained our unbeaten start, without conceding a goal.

Behave yourself. If you think after 3games we’ve cracked it you have no idea.
If they are involved then the Club should explain who they are and as a paying customer I have a right to know what they are achieving.

Nice description of the poor lad though. You're the shambles.
