'family club' went out of the window seasons back when we had FA warning coming out of our ears. A 'family club' isn't a family club if its supporters keep being reminded it's on it's last warning.

Not to assume to much, but it is slowly becoming very plausible that these 'Chinese investors' may actually bought a % in a club. Although I know Clarke's wages are high and that will cover the arrival of Stokes and Taylor, Matt Chambers stated on twitter that we are attempting to keep hold of Clarke still, so I have no idea how we can afford Clarke, Taylor and Stokes wages on our budget. Here's praying!!!!

The club and land i.e. stadium etc... are separate entities. SC owns the club, SB/DG own the land which is held under Brass Bank. As for as I am aware we got told last week. The amount we owe to Blitz is capped at 4m, which will only be repaid if we ever reach the premiership. Effectively, if someone was to buy us, they would have to buy the club, as in OAFC, and then separately negotiate a deal for the stadium/surrounding land. On the unlikely event the Chinese investors have bought 30%, I am inclined to assume this would be 30% of the club, not the land/stadium. If a buy-out of the entirety arouse (i.e. everything) I would assume the whole cost would be around 8m, going from figures and land worth.

He promised we could see the statements, so on the next meeting we'll put pressure on to see proof, just to confirm it

To be fair, he had the club accountant on the phone who went though the numbers, it appesrs he is currently funding our deficit

Face scrunity for what exactly?

Slightly, still got a lot to answer for in relation to communication/mistakes etc...

Number may look poor, but considering Chaddy End was 3/4 empty, only leaves 3,000 spare seats in home ends, could be worse

Train tickets to Shrewbury booked, anyone else going on train, if so what time?

Aye, i second this!

Although background issues are in need of urgent attention and can't just be forgotten for another 6 months, lets get behind Sheridan and finally have something to cheer for. Hoping for a big turnout at Shrewsbury now and an upping in home attendances!!

My bad, i read it as 5.7 + 700k. Apologies. Everythings become very off the point, my point was, although they may have owed us the money as a technicality (which i concede now after comments) the money was intended to be used as an investment for re-development of Boundary Park for a new North Stand.I was disputing the comment about it wasnt an investment but that it was owed.

You're entitled to your opinion, i havent got any more time to waste replying in a dead-end argument On a further point, its all well and good being 'fly' behind an account name (no disrespect to anyone else that hasn't used their actual name), but I am stating things that I have read on the internet, papers and heard and my take on the matter which I'm entitled to do, as it is a forum. I'm not ashamed to say what my take on the club is using my real name (in which I am mistaken from time to time on facts), yet you can very easily give grief sat behind an account and from the looks of it, are being a passive member in the crisis that are club is in. At least I'm actually trying to do something.

Im just stating it was a redevelopment fund, which is on the internet to see, thats all im saying. The money was to fund the new stand.

Just embarassing for you, if you cant prove yourself you automatically go on the defensive. My point on redevelopment fund is based on evidence, yours is based on speculation.Forum has turned into a slagging contest if someone has an alternative view.

To clarify, the 5.7m, as ive already said, was a redevelopment fund for the New Stand because the new stadium fell through. I know the absolute shambles Oldham Council are, but we are very lucky they bought it back of us so that we could redevelopment elsewhere, if they hadnt, i dont know where we'd currently be, playing on avros pitches?

They didnt 'owe' us money, they bought the Lancaster club with a redevelopment fund meant to be used for the New Stand. Also, they gave us a 700k grant on top of the 5.7m and renewed chapel road licence. If anything, the way the deal panned out, they did us a big favour taking the Lancaster club off our hands. Redevelopment fund screams INVESTMENT

Absolutely spot on - the fans forum was eye opening to have it confirmed and kind of rubbed in that the OEC is flourishing, and even more eye-opening that not one person on the panel knew anything proper about the Sports Direct promise. I for one, hope all us 'corney-sceptics' get proven wrong for the reasons you said, do I think we will be? very unsure.

Criticism about spelling and miss naming on an informal forum is hardly something major, obviously im going to dismiss comments about gripes over spelling. As for other critisms i havent dismissed them, ive justified my position which was required of me. I've already said i won't be on the offensive but i won't be fooled if we start getting politician answers.

Were on an informal forum. Jesus, myself and every other person arent going to make these mistakes when s*** gets real.

Nothing constructive will ever proceed on these forums with boring childish critisms about mispellings and a mistaken name, christ

Thank you.

I will be doing, I'm just stating stuff that has already been confirmed and justifying myself to people who just wanted clarification. I am more than willing to listen to him, I just won't be fooled, I hope more than anything he proves me wrong and takes us forward, do I think this will happen? Unsure.

Club related events do not fully go to our club 100% of the time, e.g. Fans forum, Christmas players meals, another thing that was confirmed, as Mike Moisley had to shout over to the bar manager to ask 'is this tonight going to the club', in which the answer was 'I don't know, ill have to check'. Make of that what you will.
