Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

I'll let someone involved in the campaign speak further but my view was that it was never about there being a benefactor model in football but ensuring there was governance around those to ensure we don't get into the same mess again. If the campaign was purely about having an owner than runs a clu...

Re: Anyone For Chinese?

No. A significantly smaller town centre stadium with minimal faciltities and dreadful access absolutely would not be the way to go. I think you would have to think outside the box - i.e. knock down Broad street mall and surrounding buildings (including Hexagon, council offices and police station) a...

Still an owner after SJM


Owner with SJM.

My memory is a little more testing these days, but didn’t the club return to SJM’s full ownership when Zinga couldn’t complete the purchase ?


Could well be the case

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

Totally agree. Hopefully we get good new owners and can move on from this sorry saga, but I hope SBWD continue to advocate for regulatory change in football and the wider fan base have sympathy and fight for the next clubs that suffer with bad ownership. And, to be fair, it's not just our current o...

Re: Have your go at being ITK

I don't put rumours up. On Mondya I had a sensible friend who is connected with a bunch of players and staff tell me he got a message from someone (I didnt ask who) that there's going to be an official announcement within 48hours about exclusivity/takeover. I considered putting it up but there's to...

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

So what happens to tonight`s protest with the breaking news? I think it's still poignant and I'd be disappointed if we stopped the "Football has an Ownership Problem" message just because our own ownership situation might be reaching a conclusion. Totally agree. Hopefully we get good new ...

Now on to figuring out who it is - Generva, the Wilf Brothers or someone else entirely.

Re: Anyone For Chinese?

Hound
If we ever moved from SCL it’d be to a similar slightly out of town location. As mentioned in your post the more likely outcome is the town centre leaks further out in that direction and get some better stuff along the A33


Probably a site south of the M4 off the A33

Yep, he was only ever cover and is a Kia client - for him this will be an experience of training regularly around a first team squad. He is prob...

Re: Should Hobnob contribute to the Club, or one of the supporter groups like SBWD?

A very fair point! I'll have to check the numbers! Back in the day this used to run at a loss and I'd have to put my own money in to pay for what was (back then) obscene bandwidth. That was when I had to put in restrictions on images and avatar sizes to restrict what I was paying out. Thankfully ba...
