When the new 'era' finally dawns

OK, tempting fate here. So, when Roland has finally gone and we have new owners - be they from 'down under' of wherever, what should our reaction be? Open the champers, buy a season ticket, dance in the streets (who can forget the scenes at Woolwich Town Hall ?) Or will it be more reserved, a mixture of relief mixed with a more reflective "let's not get carried away" reaction? Probably due to age I'm a lot more cynical these days and will wait to see what is promised and what is actually delivered before I get too excited.

    More the second I think. Wont be buying a season ticket due to where I live and family circumstances but will certainly be more up for going (three home games in about as many years) than I have been since twathead took over.

    I think I'll probably be able to just about manage a 'meh'

    Just hope I'm still alive to see it .
    It seems to be going on forever.

    When it was first announced it would have been a bottle of Asti Spumante and good night out. Now, it's more likely to be a cup of tea and a chocolate hobnob.

    I will pick up my guitar and play, just like yesterday.
    Then I'll get on my knees and pray

    Pray? Aren't you an atheist though, Henry? :smile:

    I am but I'm also a fan of poetry. I guess you're too old to recognise it : - )

    a long, long time ago when the takeover thread started I'm sure that many fans would have met in pubs and celebrated such an auspicious occasion with copious amounts of alcohol and a sing song before going home via the kebab shop. Now, it will be thank gawd for that and a cup of tea watching Coronation Street.

    I'll get a season ticket, but I Won't Be Fooled Again.

    Last Saturday there was a post : "SillyBilly went to a wedding in Reading".
    I guess, like you, he's a fan of poetry too, Henry.

    Anyway, "Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy", as Cat Stevens sang.
    Could be worse.

    I'll be celebrating the fact we won't need any more new takeover threads. For a while, at least.

    It will probably be a case of:

    "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss"

    I'll be celebrating, big time. We will have rid our club of a destructive force and will be able to help rebuild it. That is worthy of a celebration, even if the dominant emotion is one of relief.

    You do realise that there is no "New Era" right?

    Is that "Won't get fooled again"?

    If it's a Murray led takeover it will be a big let down with no bounce
