So they are bidding less for the club and the stadium than two other groups have bid just for the club. Can't see that being a winning bid! Next it will be that they are expecting the loans to be written off as part of that £1.25m as well! Maybe if they team up with Hoffman they'd be able to...

Of course they can, so how much are they proposing to pay Smurfwaite for the Port Vale FC Ltd and how much are they offering for Alchemy Land Ltd? Surely the ground on its own is worth more than £1.25m.

Before my time but wasn't the start of that when pay rises for public sector workers were capped?

Because they are two different companies. The report is a bid has been made for the football club not any holding company that consists of the club and ground.

Thats part of the problem. Uncertainly isn't good for the economy and we've got years of it ahead of us.

Its possible but it would be a separate transaction. Its also very possible he won't as he's talking about giving the club a 25 year lease if he sells and about him being able to ensure the ground doesn't get sold off if the club hits financial problems.

Go on to the ticketing site and login. Then click your name in the top right. You'll get a my account page come up and on the right hand side a box that says update my details. Click that and scroll to the bottom of the page where it says other information. You need to put a tick in the email...

Don't know why people can't grasp this. SISU couldn't care less about the success of the club or what division we are in. They want the club run at break even. If season tickets / attendances are down next season the budget will be cut accordingly. If that means another relegation they won't...

The ground is owned by a separate company who have no intention of selling it. If they want the ground as well they would need to make a separate bid for that and I'd imagine that on its own would be worth more than £1.25m.

The big problem, well one of them, is that the changes the Conservatives have made to how the electoral register is maintained and constituency boundaries makes it incredibly difficult for Labour to win in England. The change to individual voter registration has seen 800,000 drop off the...

She's not wrong there.

The same policy proposed by Labour in 2013 and the Conservatives in 2017. Slightly different response.

US Sports are way ahead on promotion. Think a lot of it stems from basketball and ice hockey where there's multiple home games a week so they really work to sell tickets. Difficult balance here though, if you implemented some of the things they do you'd get people complaining about...

Probably like when they play Leicester and its full of away fans.

The heritage committee to me reads as the new owner allowing them to save face a bit. They still wanted fan representation and were told no and then the idea of this board came around. Think if push came to shove it would turn out they have no actual power or influence.

If any of this turns out to be true then it makes you wonder if something similar was the non-footballing reason his loan suddenly ended.

I'm not worried about it in the slightest but surely you can see offering to pay £1.25m and the debt is written off or paying £1.25m and inheriting £3.7m of debt to be serviced are very different things? It makes headline figures, like the £1 or the Hoffman offer, hugely misleading which isn't...

As ever the devil is in the detail. If they did purchase for £1.25m what do they propose to do about the millions in loans owed to Smurthwaite?

That ska kit is awesome, reckon that would be a big seller.
