    Community Day of Action

    Great to see the players out and about with the trophy.

    Butts Park Arena

    Not that I think we'll end up there (although I said that about Northampton) I think people are overestimating the work required to bring the Butts up to L2 standard. Whack a temporary stand opposite the current stand and you easily meet the capacity requirements. Similarly temporary turnstiles...

    Simon Gilbert - Click Bait

    There was a good one at the weekend. Simon posted the link to the CT live feed on the Hoff potential takeover which said something along the lines of takeover latest and the accompanying tweet said they've done it. The tweet was apparently referring to the U18s win.

    Carl Baker to re-sign?!? (Joke)

    Did well to get a 3 year deal at 33. I'd be tempted if he did become available. 8 goals this season in a promotion winning team. His second promotion since he's left us.

    Timothy Fishers Apology

    Would the program not be covered by copyright? Surprise the CT can just lift out Fishers piece and reprint it.

    Timothy Fishers Apology

    There was a January one, Onye talking about how he wasn't answering his phone and then saying he'd been turning down bids. Promptly followed by selling Juke. Can't remember one at the end of the season but there could have been one.

    NHL

    Team GB have their second game of the IIFH Div1B Champs at 7:30 tonight and if you head to Premier Sports facebook page there will be a free stream. Got of to a good start in the tournament yesterday with Blaze's Liam Stewart making his full international debut.

    How is the club worth more

    That's why he's not trying to buy the club, he's just trying to buy the assets he wants. So he takes what we would class as the football club (golden share, players, Ryton) and places those assets in a new company leave behind Otium and the debt. Edit: Or just ignore this and read OSB above...

    third bid

    Its not that far fetched. There's been plenty of rumours that he has a financial stake in the club already. Perfectly illustrates the problem with faceless investors.

    third bid

    What if he was the new owner?

    I'm in for a £1000 worth of shares?

    Depends what sort of shares they are. Ideally you'd be looking at shares that hold voting rights so people on the board are elected and accountable to the shareholders. No reason you couldn't offer both. Shares for people who are happy to put a grand in and novelty things for those who want to...

    General Election

    It does seem a bit turkeys voting for Christmas. The other thing that I find frustrating is when people will happily ignore facts. I have discussions with my Dad (a lifelong Tory voter) and you can present clear facts and just get something along the lines of 'that can't be true'.

    I'm in for a £1000 worth of shares?

    Best way to do it is via a local solicitor. Get them to set up an escrow account and ask people for £100 deposits on £1000 shares. If and when a takeover is ready to proceed the rest is due, if there is no takeover you get your £100 back. Would also need to provide a finance option for people...

    I'm in for a £1000 worth of shares?

    Would need to know some detail about any deal but in theory I'd put £1000 in. I would have concerns if I was being asked to provide funding for someone who has their own money available or a deal that will benefit a third party more than us. Would want an actual share in return though, not...

    It's not an either / or

    I reckon at first no but it wouldn't be too long before the complaints started if we didn't get straight out of L2. The impression given is that they don't really have much in the way of funds, could be wrong but the way the offers are being structured makes me think that. If correct we should...

    How is the club worth more

    OSB is totally right, it seems they aren't looking to purchase everything. They want the assets and to leave the debt behind. In that scenario its essentially one company selling assets to another so they are going to want, at the very least, the value of the assets. That will include the value...

    third bid

    Between that and him not being there today could very well be people jumping to conclusions. If Fisher has gone I would say that is a bad sign as it would indicate to me SISU are sticking around. If they were about to sell up why would he resign?

    X Files

    There was 9 series in the original run which went from 1993 - 2002. There was also a film in 1998. There was another film in 2008 which did OK without setting the box office alight. Then a 6 episode series last year. The next series will be 10 episodes. Reruns are on Spike every night at...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    I'd like to think Elliot had never deliberately done anything he through would be detrimental to the club. Think its more a case of him dealing with people above his level and being out manoeuvred. Having said that I would prefer not to have him on the board or in a position of power /...
