Assuming that the end of the Duchatelet era is upon us and to clear up any confusion arising from comments on other threads, we would like to state the B20’s position regarding funds.
All visits to, and accommodation in Belgium were paid for by members of the group concerned. We did receive some contribution from the central protest fund to pay for some leaflets at the beginning of our campaign and, if memory serves me right, the original banner that we took on our first visit to ST. We also received donations from some individual supporters, who, whilst unable to travel to Belgium, were keen to contribute. They know who they are and we are grateful for their help. All other materials, including further leaflets, stickers, sticky back plastic, a “ high quality” coffin, glue, paint, some very silly costumes, spectacles with cameras in, various things that made a lot of noise, etc, were paid for by members of the group. Other items such as the Flemish Estate Agent’s “ Te Koop “ ( For Sale ) sign that was attached to the Valley, were simply purloined, or foraged as I like to think of it.
As things stand we have £272 left in the kitty. When the takeover is confirmed by EFL we intend to donate that to the Upbeats.

You have my deepest gratitude for your efforts.
When the sale has been concluded & agreed 100%.
I would be interested to know if anyone knew anything about the graffiti in Belgium.
R E S P E C T, guys.
As “ Lewes Coaches “ says it was left on the steps outside the Stadium but there was a strong wind blowing and the last I saw of it was it being blown tumbleweed fashion along the road towards the cattle market. It was a scene that Ingmar Bergman would have died for!
We, the supporters will always be the life of this club, as someone recently said 'the owners are just the custodians'.
The last few years wpuld certainly make a good film!
