  • There's no rush - you always take all of the time available to you when playing a hand of cards when the stakes are high!
  • Airman, are you able to do any digging on the current staus of the takeover? Without compromising anybody of course - we have only heard from one source that the deal is dead and nothing official. There is a subtle difference say between negotiating a stumbling block and the deal being dead.

    It also makes you feel for employees of the club - with all this uncertainty in the air.

    I'm sure there are continuing discussions.

    Just showing who was there. Nothing more or less. I just haven't had a chance to upload the pic earlier.

    Of course there is still hope. The reality is a takeover needs to happen. I have no doubt it will.

    Correct, but interesting to see this again: "A residential site owned by the club near to the Valley, Lansdowne Mews, has also been sold as part of the deal to Bob Whitehand."

    I believe we've been told more recently that Bob never owned it. Perhaps the latter is correct and the purchase never went through, but interesting nonetheless.
    Bob never owned it - though the Club did offer it to him.

    I was told that it was sold by Steve Waggott to the Developer who is now sitting on it with PP, though this has never been confirmed.

    I see you've corrected this from Steve Kavanagh and that's correct to my knowledge, although I believe Bob was involved on behalf of the board. Did Bob also tell you that he's been banned again?

    Not RD by the looks of it.

    KP, MS, RM and Sir MH

    Kensall, Joyes and Bradshaw in front of them.

    Pullis and Parish at the back.

  • That looks like Roy Hattersley in the grey coat, or Lord Hattersley with his new wife?
  • Is that Councillor Roberts at the back on the aisle ?


  • When I saw Pullis coming into the ground I could've sworn he had a bird with him.

    Now I realise it was Parish, so I guess that makes me right all along!

    I can confirm that it was Lord Hattersley. He is a big Wendies fan.

    Nah, that's Albert Trotter. Perhaps Rodney Charlton Trotter is leading a takeover consortium with Trigger and Mickey Pearce.

    I wonder if he claimed back his comp ticket on exes?

    Well, if it doesn't go through today - as you have been saying all along - then it's really going to feck up my New Year celebrations.

    I'm holding you personally accountable for my well being in 2014.


  • Sorry.
    I really thought no one would believe in me!

    Keep the faith or get a new crystal ball.

    Sorry - should have put 'edited' - I meant the Geordie Smiler when I originally posted.

    The deal wasn't done through RW, but was instigated by the Board with a third party, which was confirmed on here back in the Autumn. Co-incidently, the same person who worked with PV on bringing in the current owners.

    Seeing as RW spends most home games in a pub in Sevenoaks, it doesn't surprise me he's persona non grata. I suppose when they need his signature on the transfer documents he'll be welcomed with open arms.
  • When Asked if the take over had collapsed
    @RichCawleySLP: @IanJRO Latest I'd heard is that still very much on.

    Then asked when it will be finished
    @RichCawleySLP: @JackGalvin98 Not today. But is close.
  • I really did look hard but couldn't spot RD or even a lookalike.
  • if it's not done before midnight, does anyone know where Curb_It lives so we can all pile round there after our New Years Eve parties and boo outside her mansion/house/flat/maisonette/studio/care home?
