Name a positive of RDs ownership

Yep its gonna be difficult. 

Im gonna say signing Patrick Bauer in 2015, ended up scoring the winner at Wembley. Even then there is an argument that we shouldnt have been in L1 anyways!

    The pitch improvement.

    Appointing Lee Bowyer albeit he kinda fell into that one by luck rather than judgement
  • Not sure who actually chose them, but having bespoke Hummel kits was a massive step up from Nike templates
  • Making my love and affinity to the club even stronger

    I got to spend more time with my elderly Dad, before his dementia really kicked in, rather than going to the game.

    The fact that he's so tight and up himself.

    He eventually sold us to multi multi millionaire's...instead of the Ozzies.

    The pitch is in a much better state. 

    Lee Bowyer, luck or not, he is a product of RD's ownership so has to be seen as a positive.

    There’s still a chance for @cantersaddick to pop his cherry before the end of it??

    But he sold Kermorgant to do so.

    He gave those fans who were too young for the Valley Party their own war stories to tell.

    Nearly all the other things listed above could and would have happened under any owner or, like winning a league 1 play-off, were as a result of his incompetence.

    Fixing the pitch and playing the wages are bare minimum.  He had nothing positive over and above what any semi-decent owner could have done and he did a lot lot less than he could have achieved with the same expenditure.

    I quite liked that shade of yellow on our steps - better than the shade of yellow his teeth have

    The magnificent spirit of the blitz. The camaraderie, and thoughtful fightback from the fans. The sheer ingenuity shown. Feeling proud to say that I had a small part in it. Feeling pleased to have met others who willingly took on rather more significant roles.

    Agreed in general although I think Crossbars is an exception. Roland is the 3rd owner since it was built and should have been free entry even during the Premier League days.

    Through gritted teeth: the deluded petulant old twunt granted the club a stay of execution, in that he stepped in when the spivs' thin little ruse fell apart.  But for the stubborn greedy twat the spiv version of the club was at the point it couldn't pay its bills.
    From day 2 of the twunteruption, nothing positive developed or emerged in or from CAFC itself, roly's tenure was an ever deepening humiliation.  Outside the CAFC business came the one and only positive - the campaign to remove the lousy embarassment: CARD, WAR, B20 etc etc.
    New relationships were forged over the common goal.  Ingenuity, imagination, creativity and determination were given an outlet and thousands of pounds were raised for good causes.
    The tombstone-toothed, lying, old crackpot gets none of the credit for the positives but we have to concede that he, unwittingly, pushed the first domino.
    The past is a foreign country, they do things differently there.
    Onwards and upwards.
    To infinity and beyond.
