Knew about the lease extension but for some reason thought Frasers had different terms, not sure where I got that from.

I thought it sounded more like he couldn't say rather than wouldn't.

Yeah, that's fair enough. But I also remember the despondency of moving outside of the city and of having our opening game of the season cancelled because a load of rhino's had tore the pitch up so delighted that we can forget about all that sort of shit

It's clear that's why he brought in the team he has. When all you are is a matchday tenant how much scope is there to increase revenue no matter how good your commercial team is? Theyve really got something they can get their teeth into now.

But why did they implement lane closures pre game? Just caused issues as far as I could see.

I disagree, I think it is. Those things are temporary. The club just feels more secure now after this news and hopefully promotion is the next milestone

I thought it was 96 as well. Not sure where I got that figure from to be honest.

They handed a 250 year lease to a rugby club whose position everyone knew was unsustainable. If nothing else that's huge incompetence. They then made plans to bail them out with our money until they got rumbled.

I just think it's inevitable and he will have an exit strategy that I don't see going much further than another few years. Of course, given the amount of dodgy owners there are in football, who he sells it to could be a worry.

I'm fairly sure they didn't get offered 250 years. Even wasps didn't initially . And I think the way it turned out just shows that the council made a complete arse of things. Though none of that really has anything to do with where we are now and your concerns about owning the stadium, which...

It's buzzing if you like vaping, gambling and a fresh trim.

Was a 250 year lease on offer to the club?

I don't doubt King has an exit strategy that will see him out of here in no more than 5 years. If he leaves using a better place than when he arrived, and at the moment I don't think it Can be disputed that that certainly looks to be on the cards, thenI don't see the problem.

In no way are we in the exact same position. We never owned the Arena then, we do now. And if you think the council never tried to fuck the football club over thenI don't know what to say. If you weren't convinced before they handed wasps a 250 year lease you definitely should have been afterwards.

The council? Surely they wouldn't be stupid enough to try and fuck the club over again

The thing is, when you're beholden to a 3rd party you don't need to have owners as stupid as sisu, you just need a landlord as cuntish as wasps. We had the double whammy of both. Our destiny is now firmly in our own hands.

The man is a grade A cretin.

Think probably winning the the L2 play offs and King taking over in 2022 were more important. Think on both occasions, particularly in L2, the club was on the brink. A lot more fanfare around yesterday and it was certainly momentous news and we definitely feel more like a proper club now.

I thought he played well yesterday but watching the hilights back I think he was evenbetter thanI realised. Was much better on the ball yesterday than last week (when I tbought he also had a good game). . He's definitely improving and his work rate can't be faulted. Carries on like the last 2...

I'm sure attempts to sign one are ongoing, hopefully they bear fruit
