We’ll never know will we. I appreciate it’s Idealistic. But I think it’s incumbent on potential owners of clubs to realise the importance of the sustainability of the long term future of the club. Like I said, if you want to be a developer don’t do it on the back of a local community club. Plenty of other options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think she was. There was a lad there tapping away on a laptop who a few of us assumed was from the club. He plugged it in aswell so hopefully OEC will add that leccy to the tab....

Brooke answered half of them himself and Blitz just kept say “correct”. Its not really a criticism, but I had to laugh when Brooke kept sayIng “they” and “them”, before eventually saying “I’m one of them”. It was like matey FM. I laughed again when one of the podcast crew said “you grilled him”. .

stevesidg Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 8 hours ago, League one forever said: Absolutely bang on. This is what has always fucked me off about Blitz. If you’ve got money, why invest In a lower league side, knowing full well it’s very likely/inevitable you’ll lose money. But to protect yourself against that sell everything off so your investment loss is minimal and you leave the community and club poorer. Of course it’s his right. But morally I think it’s disgusting.

Back left of the room, blonde hair? Walked in front of me. The guy she was with was her brother (I think). Might have been a Solicitor, but bearing in mind the questions her brother asked, won’t have been the clubs. In terms of spies, Mike Halliwell was there presumably on behalf of the club.

It was hardly an Andrew Neil level interview was it. It was PR first and foremost. Brooke (and the rest of the FLG) is working together with Blitz to bring the stadium purchase plan, it’s not a secret. It was mentioned in the “grilling”.
