Surely it would depend on who owns the individual shares? Swansea are a great example look how your Chairman got on when he was with them ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best... Yes, that's a good point. SL will have sat up and taken notice of this, which probably wouldn't have been the case if another of your own - another milkman, Boycie Bradshaw or Higgs type - had taken over. It would be fascinating to hear his thoughts on this, he might be asked tomorrow in Nottingham. No harm in Lansdown and Bristol Sport getting a wake up call. If that's what all this turns out to be.

Excellent point Peter. The 15ers seem to think they are popular; and we are loathed. This is purely down to the fact that they do not represent any form of challenge (on the pitch) to major clubs (Premier League and Championship clubs, in essence). It is like being a fan of Accrington; nobody is going to mention them when asked to name a "hated club", because their club is pretty insignificant (with all due respect to them, of course !). If you asked any fan which club they hated the most (after their local rivals), the chances are the top answer will be Man Utd. The reasons being of course their success, and the size of their club. This factor is completely lost on the assheads. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will anyway. Answers 1. No, he said they'd work to make the club debt free over a period of time. No guarantees. 2. They'll take out another loan. 3. They haven't. The new owner said they'd have another look at the deal to make sure it's the right one for the club/new ownership. It means they'll pull out. 4. Sainsbury's. The cash point machine at Winterstoke Road. 5. He wasn't told that, they're going to develop their own, just as they have in the past. 6. He spent it on his season ticket at Stamford Bridge. 7. He didn't want to upset any more of his team sponsors customers, with his obnoxious drunken rantings in the local boozer. I don't suppose that much has changed really.
