I for one was disgusted with Simon Brooke repeating one callers sexist "lads and dads" idea without adding an "and...errr....mums.....and daughters".

 

Wouldn't have happened on Bazza's watch

Well considering the number of Dads who aren't on the scene it is something of a silly idea

I have asked the questions in the relevant section of the forum. I am sure the newly relaunched trust will be along shortly to make good on our 3% investment.

Another issue which required further clarity is exactly what revenue does the club get from OEC....

Is it just rent ? Is it rent + some amount of income... or is it nothing ?

My understanding is that OEC pay the club rent.

 

The club then give that money baby to Blitz and Gazal to repay the loan that built the stand.

 

At a guess.

I think it's pretty safe to assume not.

So at best rent and at worse :censored: all...

And remember everybody, this was the promised golden ticket to solve all our financial problems....

Maybe another issue the trust could cast some light on...

Please see this post from ChaddySmoker...

Any clarity on the situation would be welcomed.

This debt is a bloody obvious question for the Trust, isn't it? They should be all over it (they may well be).

You would of thought / hoped so...

Well I say we ask Simon ? Or is it all still too top secret for us to know these things

Does he post on here ?

If they moved us, say next season, would brassbank still have to refrain from developing the land for another 19 years?

I have no idea how water tight it all is... In the end if there is no club, or we have moved, you can bet Oldham Council will have big eyes for all the extra council tax could be raised from some more houses on the ground. And anyway, who wants a massive patch of bare land just left going to no use... I doubt many at that point would be fighting against it. Other than the NIMBYs worrying about their house prices.

So what is the current situation with OEC ? Do they club see any of that money ?

Nobody's going to buy us now as there's very little land left to do anything with. Genuinely think the next people to own us will move us from BP.

Whoever it is, if anyone, its going to require vast sums.... That our we start using other peoples stadiums (although I suppose we already do)...

 

 

I challenge you to find a link to such information. I don't believe that has ever been said before. I certainly missed it.[/quotehttp://www.owtb.co.uk/index.php/topic/45111-digging-into-oafc-please-read/

 

Looks like I am having a massive moment of amnesia... Specially considering I commented on that thread Thanks for the correction!

 

 

I presume we still don't have a fan on the board ?

I think that goes without saying.

 

Which is why there is no prospect of any imminent sale.

Sorry mate ? Are you suggesting the land is or is not for sale?

And he says it hasn't been a secret, which alludes to the fact it's been in the public domain before.

Corney will listen to offers for part or all. That was in the thread too.

and what value is he putting on it ?

During the aforementioned phone in.

I would suggest that still qualifies as new News...

Missed that bit sorry

It isn't new news. See Matt Chamber's tweets, "it's no secret".

When where these posted ?

From Brass Bank.

 

A guy like you knows the benefits of having group structures, Shirley?

I understand the value of ownership & assets vs owning :censored: all...

If the club is up for sale.... What is exactly up for sale is an interesting question... Is the ground and the land it sits on up for sale ?

In a nut shell.

 

It's old news though...

Yeah people keep saying this when we hear new News at the moment... Its beyond me why...

 

At the end of the recent interview with Corney he says

"At he end of the day we own the ground. Everything is in our own hands".

We RENT the ground apparently...

Read the thread dedicated to it.

Just have...

Going off the bits you posted it would seem we RENT the ground...

And no one is shocked by this ? I thought we owned the ground but not the land it sat on... A sort of leasehold arrangement. It is the first time I have ever heard that we RENT the ground.

So we literally own nothing as a club now other than the players contract and some footballs for training ?

It was pretty clear during the phone in, but you probably didn't turn up.

I didn't... Any chance of shedding some light ?

the actual truth

Even to this day I don't know what it is...

While we are often told that we should be ever so grateful the three amigos saved our sorry arses and we owe them money. I would love to know exactly how much the made off the land to compensate this lovingly generous contribution to our future.

Its funny to see the same old characters saying nothing to see here / we already know all this while the reality is, for all our 3% share, for our seat on the board and for all the promises of openness, the fan base still understands very little of what has gone on, who made what from what, and even what our position is on the ground ownership.
