    Dave Courtney was there today, perhaps a gangland takeover?

    He would have to be involved in gangland first.

    I did not get the end of November gossip from Airman. I can confirm that at least.

    I can confirm that seth confirmed, he didn't get the end of November from Airman.

    Airman Brown - any more news from your end?

    I’m reluctant to stoke the fire again, but since you ask... I know where the November line originated and it’s someone in a position to have that information (Seth didn’t get it from me).

    I can confirm a second interested party exists but I don’t know if their approach is credible or not, if it’s the one I know about. It’s also fairly recent.

    How far apart the principal parties are, i don’t know. But none of the unrelated sources is saying the deal is further away than it was a fortnight go, if you see what I mean. And none of them have “gone quiet”.
    I can also confirm the Airman confirmed, that seth didn't get it from him.

    Is that confirmed?
    I can confirm it is confirmed.

    I'm upset that they failed with the Truro deadline I set them, Cabbles. There'll be no productivity bonus from me and it's bound to affect my end of year performance assessment.

    Good luck with yours mate.

    I can confirm that someone has confirmed that it’s been confirmed that it’s confirmed.
  • We need a separate confirmation thread, but firstly it would need to be blessed by an ordained minister.
  • I can confirm the whole thing is off.

    So far I've narrowed down potential buyers to a great bunch of lads who will Tarmac the car park for cash, a Middle Eastern royal family, a bunch of Chinese property developers, several Russian 'entrepreneurs' and HM The Queen.

    Now I don't want to add fuel to the fire, but.....
    There's only one Royal Charlton....one Royal Charlton.

    Dave Berry just said that his dad's fantasy football team is called 'Tick tock, Roland' in honour of our great leader. Of no significance to the thread really, but nice to feel part of a group with a common dream.

    Funnily enough this is exactly what I imagine you look like after hearing you in Charlton live...

    I hope it is you and I'm not getting confused...

    No you’re not confused, it is me. Although, it’s debatable if I look like that!! :)

    BUMP!

    Can’t have this falling to the second page, almost like a jinx!
  • Meire’s spouting off again on another thread.

    Might be the Belgians last act of defiance before the sale me thinks.

    I spoke to a bloke in the pub who told me there may or may not be a take-over at some point. He seemed like an impeccable source.

    Both drunk then.

    There will be a takeover. Roland is getting old and nobody lives for ever.

    Maybe if we all link arms and pray......?

    When I see this post near the top of the General Charlton page I keep getting a moment when I get all excited, like a kid on Christmas morning, thinking the great day has finally arrived. Only to find that all I have got is a lump of coal and a rotten orange.

    We're stuck with the senile wannabe Donald Trump and Belgium's answer to Kellyanne Conway for the foreseeable, aren't we ...
