Story going about Fort-William being taken over by an American Media Company and made into a "reality" football team. Now don't be laughing as this is actually being discussed at boardroom level and lawyers from both sides are involved. Local press(lochaber news) are printing the story next week and this "reality team" will have players from America also major expenditure on park,facilities etc.Talks have taken place with the council as they own the park and a American company director Paul MacDonald was at the home game against the Vale last Saturday.Lots of bits and bobs are being added to the story everyday but Steven should give the chairman Jimmy Campbell or the assistant manager Al Smith a ring to confirm.

Who's guessing what their name will be? Fort William Packers? Fort William 49(goals against)ers?

"As brought to you by ESPN Freak Sports and Reece's Candy Bars, Fort William vs Rothes."

Somehow I doubt it. Either he copied it from Rattrays HFL site, or they copied it from here.

Regardless, MMPG poured scorn over it this morning. laugh.gif

You're a month or so too late. It would be a decent April Fool.

I don't think this story was ever mentioned on the Lossie website, as its so unbelievable to almost be in the McGregor/Dildo/Elgin City story. Only a sucker would buy into it.

Ah....

Well what can you say? If it was any other club I'd probably be concerned but with Fort, they couldn't possibly be left in a worse state than they are now.
