    This works if the value of the assets - i e the ground - is greater than the debt - i e the money they have put into the club. If all reports are to be believed, about the rate the debt is increasing, then it won’t be long before the debt is greater than the assets. If the Wael family act quickly and sell then they could break even or make a small profit. If they delay too long then it’s a loss. The problem is finding a buyer. Selling Rovers as a football club for £10m plus would be difficult, so the nuclear option would be administration, the ground is sold and Rovers have to ground share with ??? 

    How about they head back to their heartland, tape off a bit of the Ikea carpark every other saturday? By the way what happens to a Club when they go into Administration, are they removed from the league if they cannot honour their financial responsibilities?

    Just had the misfortune to visit the old rugby ground,and at the end of the walkway between the clubhouse and terrace there’s a mock road sign saying Tote End Walk,just thought I’d share that with you.

    The way I always heard it away fans could just walk onto the tote end back then, the problem was catching the rapidly retreating sags.

    It suggests to me that their owner is a bank not Wael - he's just the bank's manager. The bank was persuaded to invest based upon the potential for a quick and handsome profit which never transpired. Now they're left working out their exit strategy. Your opening comment is so very true, Eddie "banks just want their interest and the loan repaid". How they achieve that will be keeping them awake during home matches.

    Spat Coffee over myself when I read that.

    Oh oh... I love a quiz at this time of night...

    1) 5

    (1 disabled area, 1 cricket pavilion, 1 "stand", 2 dugouts [Looks like they've borrowed the T20 dugouts from Glos!])

    2)  Plastic, metal, wood, canvas, mud, straw, used ladies bras, dust, filth, horses hooves, casual racism, a few headbutts and 20 thousand fans to build it all.

    3) Not applicable 

    4) Not applicable 

    20 thousand, are you including the invisible 17 thousand locked out in the Carpark?

    Exactly, unfortunately some just dont get it, this was just not a club standing by and watching another nearly go under, oh no these ******* were ready to hold our head under the water too!

    Would be rude not to offer them the same as their slide into oblivion gathers momentum.

  6. I am almost tempted to join sag chat, and just make the point that this the most obvious asset stripping since Donny Rovers almost went out of business. Sadly I would be immediately banned and (Correctly) called an "evil gurt ted" No helping these people...

    Anyway their delusions are not my problem.
