The Takeover Thread - Duchatelet Finally Sells (Jan 2020)
Comments
-
At this pivotal moment in our club's unique history, fate has further intervened. No fewer than 134 retired vintage trams are being made available by the Melbourne tramway system at the bargain price of AUD1000.00 per vehicle. Where more suitable than The Valley to put one of these truly iconic trams on display?

This might be the beer talking or the pimms or the prosecco but let’s get a tram5 -
Indeed - so about £560 per tram. The famous W-class trams from the 1920s are already scattered worldwide, many still operating in regular service, so why not one in SE7, in the days of the London tram the centre of the LT system?

One thing i forgot to mention is that my chap was singing the praises of Andrew Muir, who genuinely sounds like a top man. He loves meeting fans, just like old Roland.
Oh, wait a minute....

Buy a... a tram?1

I have to agree with James, Angel Delight is nowhere near as good as it used to be.
Thanks James for all the info, all very positive, fingers crossed.2 -
Great stuff James, and really good to see Angel Delight and a tram FINALLY get their place on this thread.

Great news James and a great relief . I , we, were all very anxious about how you were going to manage the cleanup. A dishwasher is a fantastic labour saving device and it’s a credit to you that you've had the foresight to have had one installed. Speaks volumes about the likely success of future dinner parties. I for one am ending my boycott - I’m free next saturday night .13

Page 767 contained the really important stuff about what he cooked for his dinner party.5 -
Thanks for kind remarks. It just fell in to my lap.
This is because I am a descendant of Seed. It was always going to be this way.4 -
The Angel Delight fell into your lap?4

This is just getting weird now.3

Just had a brief conversation with Igor Vetokele. He said he wants to come back to us but it is up to the new owners, he said he'd been told there will be new owners this coming week.

Next time @JamesSeed wear all black like the milk tray man, that way your wife will understand it was a mission and not just an afternoon on the p**s!5

Can I just point out that James seeds revelations are on page 764 and not 767 as it says on the thread title.3

Nice as it is to hear the positive comments from Mr Seed, Duchatelet and Meire said a lot of good things at the start. Actions are what I’m interested in and we’ll only see what they are once they’re actually in charge.4

Yes. Clapham is in Lambeth. Battersea is in Wandsworth. The border between the two boroughs goes right down the middle of Clapham Common.Covered End said:Battersea.
