sjk2008 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 One for the Trust to answer: Might be a daft question here, but I assume that Brassbank won’t sell to someone who doesn’t have the best interests of OAFC in mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simplythemostimportantkick Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I feel another 3 figure pages of absolute shite coming. People second guessing. The trust neither confirmi nor denying anything. It’s like they have just come out and said guess what ? Then backtracked and said no no I can’t say. You have to say now you’ve said that. Chase me chase me ..... I’m just gonna sit tight and look forward to Saturday. What will be will be. I personally can not change or affect anything here. The usual suspects will be at each other’s throats soon enough. Boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midsblue Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I’m bloody confused after reading this post and the Trust statement. Correct me if I’m wrong - 1. Someone has bid £6m for the land that BP sits upon and surrounds BP 2. AVC means Blitz has to allow the Trust to purchase instead for £6m 3. Fan-led consortium, including the Trust, now in talks to purchase the land I know that the Trust is limited in what they can discuss but can they clarify the following - 1. Is the £6m for the land and North Stand (meaning AL owns the remaining the remaining three stands but on a leasehold basis)? 2. If the fan-led consortium cannot match the £6m bid tabled then is the club still safe and we simply get new landlords until 2031? I can understand Blitz why wants to severe links and get his cash back but why would someone want to pay £6m for the land if they cannot develop and recoup that money until after 2031?

LaticsLegend Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 So basically we've got to raise £6m or the ground is in danger of going to a third party - and we've no idea who it is? Could be developers etc. We struggled to get together a few grand for a scoreboard so any hope is through a significant investor. I don't see how this is 'fan led' apart from the fact the Trust has been given notice due to some sort of prior agreement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarddog73 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 (edited) So if he wanted to Corney or an individual of similar ilk could lead a consortium to buy the ground and surrounding land for £6 million then charge the football club £1 million a year to use the facilities?

LightDN123 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Blitz has just said he has the clubs long term interest at heart. He wouldn’t sell to someone who would mess that up ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcfluff1985 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 We'll be at page 17 before anything is cleared up. Does the ACV not mean that someone could bid 6mil the trust need informing, the trust could bid 10mil and they could still sell it to the 6mil bidders? Just means the trust need the option to table a bid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
