Is there an "oh yes" thread on the Vale forum similar to the one you had a few seasons ago ? A thread to mark each of our defeats, which of course would culminate in certain relegation for us, plus the confirmed date of your relegation party for us ? That ended well, didn't it ?

It just so happens that just about everything he comments on is misinformed, small minded, politically correct tosh! I didn't say he wasn't, just why have we got to have them thrust down our throats by the EP all the time. His safe standing views go against all the expert research and facts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bert tann Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) I can exclusively reveal that a project manager has been appointed to oversee the regeneration of the Memorial Stadium. This diminutive executive is admirably qualified for the job because he knows someone who has worked on twelve building sites and was formerly personal assistant to the owner of Fantasy Island. He has already been spotted on Avon Street pointing to the upper floor windows of a well known solicitors office and shouting "the plaintiff, the plaintiff" Edited August 11, 2017 by bert tann 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinpot isn't the word They had dozens of threads at the time, some of them making very grand predictions. Obviously they were also desperate to point out how we should be shitting ourselves about the Worlds '6th richest club' coming for us. That's worked out well so far. Idiots.

Then take a journey down memory lane, when the UWE was a formality and Wally was a billionaire. http://gaschat.co.uk/thread/5974/confirmed-al-qadi-family-takeover?page=1 You would think that they might look at Wael of Fortune's comments on the UWE and the timescales and realise that they are identical to the comments he is now making about Memorial ground. Also, it seems the origin of the "billionairre" tag come from one tweet and one transaction that the bank they have shares in completed. There are some quite sensible, lets wait and see comments on there to be honest, some of those people must be feeling quite smug now (or maybe just as disappointed) Edited August 11, 2017 by Port Said Red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 The owners know. An 18,500 stadium with other facilities will fit on the site. An 18,500 stadium with other facilities was given planning consent. They have most likely asked their stadium advisors/designers some basic outlines of what can realistically be achieved on the site. Would these outlines require any other considerations that were not taken for the original plans. Wael commented that the Mem site is exactly the same as that for Evertons 40,157 Goodison park. which has a record attendance of over 78,000 !....imagine that on Filton avenue . Goodison has housing right around the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chowie Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 This one made me chuckle.... Paddy Power got back to me with odds of 5/1 for us to be a Prem side by the start of 2025 - 2026.Seems extremely low in my opinion, so I've asked for odds on other League 2 teams just to see if it's because we're minted now. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
