“Bruce applies the same energetic attitude to his project management and business development activities at BlueRock – as well as to a fresh seafood platter when given the chance. He’ll most definitely fight you for the prawns.”
Everyone back to their fish pubs please. I cod’nt believe it when I read the above.
Athletico, don't come the Raw Prawn with me fella.
Good chance then there will be a tesco van outside the training ground in the morning, with a pint of milk, a box of shredded wheat, and a box of Daz washing powder.
Delay in takeover caused by one of Andrew Muirs investors not passing fit & proper test due to connections with a former club. Newcastle or Everton apparently.
Deal is now complete and is awaiting approval from the FA.
I think everyone is going to be surprised by how few people actually come back and buy season tickets.
Yep. Outside of those that still contribute on social media who add that opinion, I’m convinced there are not thousands waiting with their cheque books at the ready.
It’s a massive rebuild job. It can be done, and I’m sure it will, but it will take time.
I’ll add, if 9 months ago it was announced Roland had sold I’dhave been pretty sure I would have been in a packed pub that evening celebrating like we’d won a Millwall game.
It it was announced today, it will probably generate no more than an ‘at last’ muttering.
I’m still not convinced whether a takeover or a win vs Millwall will come first.

I can remember when we signed Allan Simonsen. Mark Hulyer thought the rush for tickets was going to pay for his wages. If memory serves me correctly, we only sold a few hundred

Simo added 5,000 to the gates in his first few games, and even the one he did not play in due to injury! That was double what we used to get at that time....
The thing about not being allowed to turn lights on for meetings, that’s not actually true, is it?
I’d like to know the truth behind this headline too. Most businesses from time to time have a push to drive costs down and encourage staff to be mindful of energy wastage, paper wastage etc. We are currently a failing business after all so doing nothing on costs is not a strategy. What exactly have they been asked to do?
Likewise the loss of nutritional breakfasts. Again have we ditched platters of fresh fruit and individual diet plans or just stopped providing porridge when they want it?
Messages like this make sensational headlines like the Man Utd Kit is now nearly £200 but in reality the shirt was still c£60.
The truth would be good in order to interpret the actual impact. Maybe it’s all true but I don’t want to rely on the headline.
And maybe all irrelevant if the takeover happens anyway.

They might end up with similar waits...
I agree. I think it's gone on for so long and there have been too many false dawns. IF the takeover happens this side of September I wonder how many people will wait to see how the new owners are doing before returning. Can I stand getting back that feeling I used to have for my club incase it's taken away again?
In the mid 70's when Michael Gliksten was the owner we played Port Vale at home in the 3rd tier and from memory I thought there was under 4 thousand. No social media, just local papers, phones and word of mouth. Fans stop going when they see no ambition from owners plus we sold players from 65 to 75 that could have held there own in the top tier if we had a decent owner. Bailey, Bonds, Glover, Campbell, Moore, kenning, Flanagan, Hales plus others coming into an established side.
I can assure younger fans we have been here before, the difference is we've a decent stadium now not a crumbling wreak of a ground.
IF we can only see the back of this flawed experiment then Adults can make their own minds up whether to invest their time, money and emotions in Cafc.

You're such an old misery ;-)
But we keep being told it’s close, it seems no closer today then it did on May 17th.
They’ll be relief when it’s done, but the celebratory mood of May has long gone

Totally agree. Some even claimed it was a done deal in February. Can't blame people being fed up with the whole affair.

Whoops, sorry. Too last week.
You do the maths.
Sorry sm, you just did !
It’s a massive rebuild job. It can be done, and I’m sure it will, but it will take time.
If the Aussies don’t complete it within the next week the next season is a wash out.
So angry with it.
