Don’t think they own the NS yet, l think they just run it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, as someone said above , it takes a lot of money for a FLG to run a football club. Even more to take on someone who may (or may not) have backers and some deep pockets to access should it be required fight such a fight. Let's hope we win the first 5 games and maybe some much needed sense and harmony can be applied to the off-field situation. Interesting that your narration makes it sound like the FLG are the primary protagonists here...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeslover Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I'm not sure it takes that much money run a 4th division club. It does if your owner relies on it to fund his transatlantic lifestyle and strange obsession with Chinese perimeter boards, or wildly expensive foreign players of variable quality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They own nothing and haven’t made an attempt to buy anything yet. We know this because the Trust hasn’t been legally notified of an intention to buy and given their six months to counter/agree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League one forever Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 So. . My understanding is, the FLG own nothing yet, but they plan to initially buy the north stand and car park, and then look to buy the other stands at a later date. They can release plans for a fans bar in the OEC, (even though they don’t own it yet,) because it’s nothing to do with AL. AL will rent the OEC on match day, (and the other stands in the future) and the football club get the money, anything else it generates goes to the FLG. Is that right?

If that has changed and the haven’t told the people they represent then of course that is farcical. You don’t half have some double standards.
