Times the first meeting?
Somecunt get the live updates posted.

This could be either the start of something #boxoffice, or a proper old school pitchforking. Either way, should be good fun.

I asked who his "team" coming in to run the place were and did they have football experience. He answered one was a lawyer with experience working in American Soccer and he has one other with a football background, plus John Park.

 

I then asked about the current board and he said he was looking to acquire 70% of the shares with the remainder staying with the fans. The current BOD would be gone.

Tell you what, if he is just paying lip service then he's certainly done his research [emoji7]

John park not too impressed with our squad size at the minute saying we won’t win the league with it like that.

Plans for a 4th stand, concerts and a hotel in one of the corners. Also, one of the first things to do is to get the academy back at an elite status.

John Park reckons we should be aiming for 6th place in the Premiership eventually, since we are the 11th best supported club and we’re in League One.

We have a great core support given the lack of success at the club but it's naive in the extreme to assume the numbers (of home supporters) would change drastically from Championship to Premiership, 6th place or otherwise.  What would be the reasoning for a fourth stand? 

If the plans are around hotels and infrastructure as a potential return on investment then that is a more reasonable suggestion than making money on players sales and improved league position.

Only reason for building a fourth stand will be for development.  What goes into the back of it will be what they are interested in and not how many seats or whether its standing etc.
