Would be nice if the FTV interviewer asked some of the questions fans wouldn't mind hearing answers on.

'Any update on how long the injured players will be out for?'

'What positions are you looking to recruit for this window?'

Hopefully asked post match tomorrow then

Is Pavarotti still the owner ? He barred me from there years ago 😂.

I’ve no got a clue who’s got it now pal. The Stainrod night was the first time I’d been in there in years despite the fact it’s a 10min walk max from my house. Never been a fan of the place.

Love the fact we are again looking & sourcing young talent from English leagues & here’s hoping we can get a couple strikers from dame pool 

Don’t want to pish on your chips but Hartley’s team had quite a few “talented youngsters” from England.

Yep, and we all know that because Hartley signed a team of duds, we can’t possibly make any decent signings from England ever again 😒

I thought there was only 20 patrons investing £10k each? 

I would guess some of the 20 invested a bit more. I understand some shares patrons held previously were reallocated into the patrons pot, so those could be included in the figure.

Do you have to continually be a smart arse?

I was pointing out that it was no guarantee of success.

Ok I thought it was just a £10k buy in! If shares they held previously were included then did those patrons pay the £10k as well?

Either way you want to cut it the Patrons have invested £10k (or more) into the club:

Nothing was “relocated”. All the Patrons have their shares in their own names and commit to have all those shares in the Patron pot (to leave have to give notice). So if they had shares before (and most did) the Patron pot is all the shares not just the new ones.

There are 26/27 I think. Some invested more I believe and some have invested more since 

Had a look back and the initial release only mentions 20 names.

Some must have put in a decent amount more if they raised £300k last December. Still £200k(?) short of the Navy Blue proposal though. Are the rest of them on it or have they joined since? Could help fill a hole if you can get that other £200k they pledged.

Whatever you are trying to infer the Patrons as a group invested a significant amount last December that got the club through last season. 

I for one had shares before and reinvested and have done other things since to help. I would believe that most of the other Patrons have done the same.

Did all of the patrons have to pay £10k or could they use existing shares to join?
