Everything is just numbers for the time being. When do we see the for sale signs go up? AFAIK it has been actively marketed for sale for the last couple of years and that's why they are spending £250k on a London office each year. These private company sales generally are not advertised in the press because that smacks of desperation; instead high net worth individuals are identified and targetted for a "marvellous investment opportunity" which is what Higgs did in finding the AQs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be bad or good news for Rovers in equal measure.... though wouldn't say that a quickening of practical development's are very likely.. I imagine the sad loss the al-qadi figurehead would not particularly alter the greater family dynamic....

We’ve got a fantastic fan base but attendances will always drop off the back of a few bad performances and season ticket sales reduce after a poor season just like any other club in the Football League. They have a "Faithful and True" chant, i thought it was just a few morons on Slagchat that came out with the faithful and true line but no they have an actual chant. unbelievable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As difficult as it is to believe sometimes we really aren’t that far from achieving that judging by the last 3 seasons. We already have the stadium. Importantly, Steve Lansdown has never struck me as someone who just gives up and walks away from challenges. Its great to see that there are STILL sagheads out there who think that SL is going to pull the plug. You’d think after 10 years of coming out with the same wishful shit they’d have taken the hint by now. Obviously not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
