As has always been the case bar the North Stand? I'd like to think Frank bought the club budgeting for the gas and leccy before buying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardie Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I agree that a little more communication is required from the club. The initial flood of information has dried to less than a trickle, which is a bit of a concern but probably we are being impatient. My main concern is the product on the pitch and as someone mentioned, possible investors were at the Chesterfield game. Let's hope what they saw on the pitch was not enough to put them off completely and the Rothwell's and Royle's talked a good business plan to them. I don't care what is still required within the infrastructure regarding the connection between the youth product and the first team because this management team is seemingly tactically inept, non-supportive, ill-prepared and ill-tempered. It's no wonder the players are running round like headless chickens. It's no wonder the fans are pissed off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightDN123 Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Didn’t know where to post this, change in pie supplier last week to a local Oldham bakery. I had a much improved pie, what did everyone else think ? Ones before had been terrible. Just seen car park passes announced which is another step forward. Small changes but they are positive. Also on the Pod it was mentioned about portable beer pumps brought in to reduce que length. Just thought I’d raise these small trivial things that make a difference as had not seen them mentioned.

Just more demonstration, if needed, of the staggering incompetence of the previous regime. So many easy to do things that they didn't do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mick26 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Just now, Lags said: Thanks. I missed that. From August statement: "The signed agreement is a huge step forward to consolidate the club and stadium under one ownership to ensure stability for the future. In line with a transaction of this size and nature, we aim to complete the purchase shortly before Christmas." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some good news at least and a step toward what the Rothwell's et.al want to achieve. Oh for a step in the right direction with the playing side of things. I suppose we should be grateful for small mercies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clifford Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I just pray that Frank buys the stadium etc some time soon as there is an almighty dròp in fan based income coming.

So the OEC has been purchased from PW & SB. Blitz still has sold nothing. That's not to say this won't change. Whilst I except entrepreneurs should be rewarded, it's a nice bit of business. Do they now become payroll? What rent do the club still pay, if any. My guess they do as blitz still owns the building the OEC functions in. The sooner blitz is gone the better.

Who has been cashing in on the revenue from the fan bar etc ? Wonder if this means the FLG are history now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underdog Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Did I not read that there was a secured loan (debenture) on land too? Maybe for gym refurb? Wonder who pays that off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder who pays that off Assuming there will be a debenture on the purchase of the stadium/land. Wouldn’t make sense to purchase with cash, though the cost of borrowing will be higher now.
