The apostrophe is correct cos it's St. Valentine so nyurks.
Well. Just to recap:
* no utilities in the stadium
* because of that the 3G can't be used for official games (no changing rooms or toilets)
* under-19s leaving to other clubs (see above)
* lots of young players in the team cos lots of players have left (non-payment, is the rumour)
* One game played at Conwy instead. Unlikely the club can pay for the rental again
* regime fading out and refusing to pay for anything as, apparently, 'we don't own the club according to the fans'. Technically, this is true. Technically, also, the role was either kit or stadium sponsor. Sponsorship is not usually repayable.
* Our manager, the redoubtable GTF, posting on Twitter in sympathy with Blackpool's plight (that is, awful owners, club being ripped apart, etc etc etc).
* Re. the above, he's getting stick. There are also rumours, though, of a 'consortium from Hull' ready to step in.
So, yeah. Nothing to say aside from what a fucking mess.
Nobody should, and hopefully nobody will, even dream of getting involved whilst this ownership tangle is still going on. It looks to me like the SA are taking legal advice and being very careful in the wording of their statements. And this, this is key. Because it has to be right, whatever comes next. Otherwise we're fucked forever.
Liquidation is the only way now. Not administration: creditors will be offered a deal. Another shell company can come and take the club away, legitimising the 'loan-to-share' weirdness that has never properly been implemented or indeed voted on by the shareholders.
This would be a disaster. Not that it isn't at the moment, of course.
Maybe Arriva Bangor can build a stand on Beach Road, and we can go there every week instead. Hardly the Theatre of Dreams. I've personally had some nightmare games there, although we nearly always won regardless. Ah yes, the mud and hangovers of younger days. God bless us, every one.
Solidarity.
