If the answer is that it can't be, then it's a busted flush. Let’s see how many members after @BPAS & PTB initiative to increase the number…. Want an effective Trust, be a member….

With this massive support just what has PTB and BPAS managed to change so far in the club? Like Stockport? Like Leyton Orient? Like Portsmouth? Like Brentford? Like Blackpool? Like Exeter? - interview coming up in episode 41! We can make a difference if we all pull together around the same objective. Time for the owners - of both the land and club - to sell up. We need to put them under pressure to do so…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen to episode 8 to hear exactly what I think of Mr. Blitz’s influence on our club Graham, but this doesn’t excuse the Trust distancing themselves from a Petition signed by 3k supporters.

There aren’t people out there that want to own that asset, without owing the football club. We need Abdallah to sell up to someone or a consortium that could then work with Mr. Blitz to take on the land. Abdallah has proved incapable of doing so & we know he has received bids for the club.

Mr Blitz has messed the current football club owner around.He’s more of a problem than anybody else.You were spot on with what you said on the pod,with respect I’d start a publicity drive to get him to answer a few questions but he’ll probably ignore a letter as well!

How has he messed Abdallah around? I’m sorry but that simply isn’t true, quite the opposite. Abdallah has on the face of it done what he can to wind up the landowner, despite knowing from the off that he never owned the ground (something he confirmed on an interview with sky the day he joined) - Threatened legal action, reported Blitz to the police and has since been told no case to answer, Blitz even agreed to sell the ground to Abdallah but up to now has failed to come up with the funds, Abdallah failed to pay (below average in the league) rent payments and refused to engage to open the new stand. I’m not sure how Blitz has ‘messed Abdallah’ around at all based on the above. If you think having the ground under Abdallahs ownership given his current ownership of the club up to now I do wonder on what basis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately ‘no’ but it would have been better if it hadn’t been a unilateral initiative... 16 hours ago, lookersstandandy said: Why? Does the Trust with its 200 members & unpopular opinions really count for much anymore? PTB has over 1,000 supporters, 3,000 signed the petition and @BPAS has more listeners every episode. Time for change. Sign up now. You ask ‘why?’ - I thought that was obvious. It would mean (shock horror) that the two groups are actually talking to each other and working together.

Rather a desperate attempt at whataboutism this trying to deflect the fact that the foundation are failing in their mission statement which clearly says to the hold the Club to account. Why are the foundation not challenging the owner on a petition signed by the vast majority of the supporter base when they claim to represent the fanbase?

I’ve already answered your point, do you think we should target the landlord first, When the current owner of the club has ran the club the way he has the last three years? I don’t, which is why we have done it this way round. Safeguard the club then the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I see it, Blitz has no interest in the JR stand. If he did he would have developed it properly and made it much more profitable for Brassbank. He bought it as a favour to bale out Corney. He has agreed to sell to the FLG, who pulled out when they discovered AL had also agreed to purchase it. There has been no sign of that happening (not really surprising whilst Covid has hammered any profits it may be making). No doubt if a new owner came along to buy the club, Blitz would be happy to offload the stadium. If it was me, I would want to buy the whole of Brassbank and make it earn money for the club, and keep little wembley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
