Having taken mountains of advice over the past few weeks it has become clear that with the confusion surrounding the club, and various pitfalls associated with establishing the facts to report on them I believe that the time is right to call it a day. 

The whole site has come full circle again and like its first incarnation a take over (in that case Martyn Harrison) is the appropriate time to step aside. 

There are a whole multitude of people I would like to thank for their help and assistance in getting the site to the level it has reached, too numerous to mention. 

I am really proud of what everyone connected with the site achieved, we had nearly a whole year of weekly radio which I really enjoyed doing, but sadly the topic became less and less about football and politics and frustration became the subject matter. It must have been hard reading and listening because it was hard writing and broadcasting it. 

It seems appropriate to bow out on the back of a 3-0 win over Dorchester but even that was marred by alleged fisticuffs between people wrestling for control of the Terras... I just dont want that sort of thing to be the over-riding memory. 

I want it to be about Andy Harris at Forest. Darran Rowbotham's wonder goal against (I think) Ashford. David Laws diving into our group of fans at Kings Lynn and a whole host of great afternoons and evenings out with top mates. 

The Dorset Echo seems to be indicating that everything is going well with the takeover today which does go against a large amount of the correspondence we seem to be getting at TerrasBlog towers. 

We will have to wait and see what Monday brings and whether or not it will be a smooth transfer of power. If it cannot be established clearly whether or not the players have been paid by the prospective new owner we will have to wait for ages to get some sort of sense made of what is happening. 

If anything does go wrong and Ryan walks, I wonder if the club will be allowed to die quietly or whether there will then be a clamor for George Rolls to have a go? 

On to the match... 

There has been some splendid derbies between these two clubs over the years and I would expect this afternoon to be no different. 

For me I think it will be a Terras win or a replay and we will see some welcome funds in the clubs account. 

On to matters TerraCotta and with interest building towards this weekends derby in the FA Trophy I (in my new spirit of giving the prospective owners of the club the benefit of the doubt) wanted to bullet point a couple of simple constructive things that will get us moving forward in the wider worlds eyes. 

• Can we get the "Invest in us" stickers off the clubs shirts? I thought 'Weyland' were the clubs new sponsor ? so far their logo has only appeared on the ressies kit.
• Can we have a simple clarified version of the vision set out by the Chris Ryan team? We have been through vague promises and "sleeping giant" type rhetoric too many times. Even if the vision is harsh cuts to the clubs budget, I would rather know than not.  

It's not much granted, but I just think a couple of quick fixes would make life much more bearable in the short term and set us on a stable path in the long term.

Oh and beat Dorchester, that would help. 10-0, smash them. I am still hurting from the 2001 FA Cup match. The pain of conceding the only goal in 19 seconds will stay with me for ever. 

Off the field I am continuing my new tactic of keeping my gob shut so will only express my delight at the players getting paid some wages at long last.

That is a real positive.

Plenty of build up to come later in the week before the first "Ridgeway Derby" of the season with Dorchester. Let's make the magic happen boys.

I wasn't at the meeting last night so I can't really comment. I asked someone closely involved if this was the end of the roller coaster ride and they told me "ha ha ha, its barely begun if I have read these guys right". 

He does live in Portland now apparently so maybe my cynicism is badly placed. Enough people around the skirts of the club have expressed their concern to me but for the sake of my sanity I am going to shut up now and let whatever is going to unfold happen.

Let's put aside the off field issues for a brief second to salute Ian Hutchinson and his unpaid players for humbling their play off chasing hosts in the biggest upset of the footballing weekend bar none. 

A first away win since the first Tuesday in February ensured that the Terras faithful had a few brief moments away from boardroom dramas to enjoy something good that came from football. 

(The orange kit looked good too!!)

But, we have to return from cloud 9 quickly because as I write this article a critical meeting is taking place at the Wessex Stadium to discuss the future direction of the club. 

I stand by what I said yesterday. For me the only way to end this misery is to cut the cord and start again from scratch. I cannot see why anyone would want to take on an insolvent company and try to keep it trading... other than land. 

The club has a debt of £500k+ and Chris Ryan thinks £150k will be enough to sort it out. You don't need to be Carol Vorderman to work out that doesn't go. 

George Rolls is a man with a lot to prove having seen it all go sour for him at Cambridge United and if the club were to continue it would be he who I would want to see take over. 

Seeing Paul Cocks leave the board of the club has left me with a heavy heart. Having spoken to him for a couple of interviews that went on the blog I see a man with the clubs interest at heart. If he says something is wrong then its wrong. 

I would like this opportunity to thank Paul, Shaun Hennessey and Ian Ridley, along with Dave Higson for taking on this impossible job. 

I just hope that it wasn't in vain in the long term. 

But I fear for us...

Let me be crystal clear on my position on this. For me I cannot see the club continuing in its current format especially under Chris Ryan. 

The more I hear about this guy and his cohort, the less interested I am in him taking the club on. For me a new club is the only way to end this mess once and for all and for this to happen I am calling for the following to happen.

1. Shaun Hennessey and Ian Winsor (if they are the remaining Directors) put the club into liquidation without further delay.
2. If this triggers a land deal then so be it, most of us are beyond caring now about who will own what. The second thing I ask is that Morgan Sindall and/or Malcolm Curtis offer use of the Wessex Stadium to the new club until they deliver their new community stadium. It is my understanding that they don't even trust Ryan/Beasant and if that is the case you could see them chucking the existing entity out of the Wessex.
3. The Terras Trust start working now on getting us a club set up and ready for August 2010 which can play in preferably the Wessex League or the Dorset League. I have never been a Trust member or supporter of what they have done but this act would get my tenner in the post and would give them access to all of the information I have on where we got with setting up a new club a while back.
4. I would ask all fans to back this opportunity and not become divided over issues such as which badge will be used or what the club will be called. We need one group getting together to make this happen.

What I saw and heard last night restored a lot of the dented faith I have in some elements of the clubs support. We can act in a united way and as one (Weymouth United perhaps?)

I plea to all Terras fans and actors in this pantomime to end this fiasco now and let's prepare to start again without property developers and vultures.

More tomorrow.

More when we have it.
