    According to a Belgian poster on another site, Roland mentioned on a minor chat show that he was busy selling all of his football clubs.

    Any further details CE?
    Someone on not 606 said a Belgian poster (he is Belgian) had said it on the site we musn't mention.

    How do you *know* its not Red Bull?

    Would you feel a bit of a twit if it was?

    Also, aren't Red Bull's colours Red?

    I don't. What I meant to say was I know people are say it it's not RB. And no their colours are white home and blue away.
    Actually Canters, my question was posed at Shooters.

    Found out their home colours are White and Red, so not far off what we have had in bygone years.
    In the early 60’s a believe - with red shoulders. A trip to the museum should be able to confirm.

    But at my back I always hear
    Time's wingèd Harriott hurrying near;
    And yonder all before us lie
    Deserts of vast Duchâtelie.


    I'll get me coat...

    Has anyone considered that Red Bull might in fact be one of the bidders?

    This thread has degenerated from a serious take over thread to a panto - shows you how far we've come.
    Bit like the story of the take over really.

    This is one of the post of the year IMHO. Isn't this the sort of post that 'promotes' were invented for?

    I'm not ITK nor do I know anyone who is ITK. I don't think its RB as a few posters are adamant that its not, but just wanted to see why some fans have an aversion to changing th name of the Stadium and / or moving grounds. In the Premiership we have the Liberty Stadium, The Emirates & Sports Direct and 2 of those teams have also recently moved to brand new grounds & I don't see their fans moaning & saying " I wish we didn't have rich owners & were back in the 3rd tier of football so we could enjoy our ground being called the Vetch field"

    If we do happen to get taken over by a very large conglomerate, get out of this crappy league & move 1 mile down the road to a 40,000 seater stadium I wont complain. You don't have to come along - you can spend you hard earned money at Welling, Dartford or Bromley.

    Strange comment.

    I believe you have been going long enough to know the importance of staying at The Valley.

    I realise neither option is necessarily inevitable but I’d rather leave The Valley if it means CAFC can thrive and prosper for the next 100 years than remain where we fester and die.

    I’m not a Johnny come lately fan either.

    We struggled to sell out games when we were last in the premier league, I do not think that we have the support to justify a 30,000+ seater stadium.

    Consequently I do not see the need to move from The Valley.
