    Butts Park Arena - put up or shut up !

    What should have happened here was that as we paid that rent and loan down, that we accrued a percentage of the stadium to own, and most of this sorry mess could have been avoided.

    Mondays meeting with Fisher

    It's important that lessons were learned from last night. The open forum style was not ideal because it allowed people to ramble, which meant he got away with not answering enough questions. Even when people were shouting at him - the question gets forgotten in the furore. I know it's a long...

    Fan ownership, why won't it work?

    Yes that is true - but the club were hit two-fold by them losing the proposed revenue from ITV (which they may well have already committed in contracts and spending) as well as Griggs no longer funding the club. They had a fire sale (we bought Onandi Lowe IIRC) and still were relegated 2 years...

    Fan ownership, why won't it work?

    It was exacerbated by the timing of his initial withdrawal from the club. He took him (and his funding) out at the time when the ITV digital deal collapsed... so they got hit on a double whammy and by the time he tried to rectify it the position become almost irretrievable.

    Fan ownership, why won't it work?

    So what we need is someone to come up with a proper breakdown of how it could be funded. What's our budget - where will the money come from etc. If that detail is all clear and realistic then I think most people with reservations would be swayed to buy into it... perhaps even literally.

    Fan ownership, why won't it work?

    Do you want to keep repeating the same mistakes with the next owner?

    Fan ownership, why won't it work?

    Don't be so melodramatic - people are asking legitimate questions that as yet no one can answer.

    Fan ownership, why won't it work?

    Rushen and Diamonds did die - they were dissolved in 2011. The new club had ro re-apply for entry to UCL Div 1 - several leagues below. AFC Wimbledon was born out of the rejection of the move to MK by fans. R&D was handed over to the Supporters Trust by Max Griggs. He built them a ground and...

    Fan ownership, why won't it work?

    You are arguing semantics - the fact is that the original Rushden and Diamonds had a fan ownership model and went bust. And they were given a ground for free.

    Fan ownership, why won't it work?

    Yes they are. The club that now exists is AFC R&D - not the original club.

    Fan ownership, why won't it work?

    Just to quantify - Rushden and Diamonds - extinct.

    Fan ownership, why won't it work?

    I think any potential fan led takeover would have to be led by people not part of the Trust/protest group hierarchy now or in the recent past.

    Fan ownership, why won't it work?

    If someone can come up with a viable response to 'who pay the bills in the off-season' and 'who pays for a manager to be able to sign a player, pay a signing on fee/transfer and for a contract longer than 12 months' than you may have far more people behind the notion.
