Pete, ta for the reply. Not sure naive is the right word, but it is utterly unrealistic to start a campaign group which aims to publicise its message as widely as possible and hope for anonymity. It simply breeds suspicion.

Not if they use the "psst, Ellis is rubbish pass it on..." method for disseminating their message it isn't.

There are 2 answers to that. One is "well you started it"

The other, more seriously, I agree with you completely. But I don't think anyone has "hoped for anonymity" (unless perhaps they use various multiple pseudonyms on here, in which case they may well be on their way to achieving it, almost effortlessly).

As I said before it was just a case of putting the message before the individuals.

Is alchoholics anonymous a campaign group?

No.  It’s a support group.

The Portman Group is a campaigning organisation on alcohol issues.

Having said that, VFC Anonymous does have a certain ring to it.

Who are YOU to say it's wrong?  I don't remember seeing anything from the family about it, and to be honest, they're the only opinions that count.


So why weren't they consulted? And that's my only view on the matter.

Can we please move this debate on from something which has been picked over endlessly, if only out of respect for the man? Thank you.


Wise words.

As the posters close in Winters takes a look around the field and looks a place to sneak a quick single. Risso, bland, smith, et al have all sent down various deliveries to knock him, off his stride but he's defended studiously thus far. He comes another wicked turner.....

oh, but the VFC fielders all seem to be looking around at each other, pointing, surely some leadership is required....winters looks like he's setting off to take a cheeky 1 off them...
