Genuinely feeling very emotional right now. Never thought it would happen without premiership money, coupled with remembering all the shit we’ve been through to get to this point. It’s quite a day. Hat’s off to Doug, well done. An owner who has genuinely brought the club forward.

Obviously I want to win, but also, today’s result feels less consequential to me now!

Also, just want to state I didn’t trust Doug at first. Put it on here in the past. I didn’t have a reason to distrust him, but I felt like I needed a reason to trust him.

This is the reason I needed. What a bloke.

Next stadium sponsorship. Money will all come to us right?

Sounds a win for possible budgets in itself!

I'd imagine that's his ultimate goal. But if he makes some cash and the club is in a good place, then everyone's a winner.

I think he'll still be here for a bit though. He's increase the value of the club exponentially over night, getting us up would rocket it even further so I think he'll hang around and see if we can achieve that in the next year or two

Yeah I think so. Think he likes being a football chairman but money talks… think it’s inevitable that a billionaire will make a move for us in time.

When their rental deal runs out I'd be tapping up the owners of Sky Blue Tavern and Dhillions, they both run fantastic operations imo

Still can’t believe this….feeling quite emotional. After everything thats gone on since the stadium was built, never thought I’d see the day when we actually owned our stadium again. Fantastic news, can’t wait for kick off. PUSB ⚽️🩵

It's not that bad, the location means it's a bit awkward. Watched some games in there though and the food isn't bad.

thats the problem, with where it is you're basically only ever going up there for an event.

you could look at making it a destination like the o2 with all the other things there but you really need the transport infrastructure to do that, not to mention it would cost tens if not hundreds of millions.

This is where I’m at.

Like if we got relegated now, it would be horrible, but at least we’d have a bloody stadium to play football in! Just seems like things can never be as bad as they once were, ever again.

Things will take a dip on the pitch at some point, it's inevitable. But at least we won't end up in bloody Northampton!

I've got a feeling it's run in house. Not sure there's a huge amount you can really change in that space but renaming it and making it something more like the tavern would be fairly easy to do and very welcome.

It's fine as it is. You've got to remember we only use it for 4-5 hours every fortnight, most of the punters are here for other events, hotel stays, conferences, etc.

And it's pretty busy as it is on match day. And we have the fan zone as well.

It was - I have a loose link to Nicola from her Villa days - but it was more of a speculative comment, given her experience/contacts. I had no idea anything was going to happen this quickly though.
