Think most people are in the happy camp but after X number of years with Cleeve that's really not a high bar to achieve.

Just a few unanswered questions re what is happening with the Club ownership. Why Cleeve has been given a role. What is the update on the  DCMS situation, which I assume is holding up the Trust being activity involved with a % of the Club in exchange for their members £95,000.

Need to see more openness on all of this including those heading up the Trust on behalf its members.

I'm sure there'll be an update when there's something to tell the Members.

Won't get fooled again. The Who.

"Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss" 

Don't forget it's also a Society.
You'd need a big badge to get Blue & Gold Supporters Trust Club Society on.

You are right Uptone.  The last regime was poor on fan involvement.  So with the 'new' regime now in situ the bar doesn't need to be set to high for improvement. Think we should all at least give them a chance to see how they shape up. 

The little nagging issue I have still involved SC.  The registered keeper of the keys.  At Companies House, at least.  Plus why have the new owners given him a 'role' at the Club?  You would think they would want to put a huge distance between the old and new. By offering him something it's like they are saying he has a vital role to play.

There aren't any new owners. Cleeve and his wife, via Blue and Gold Holdings Ltd, still own the club and the lease to the Walks.

Jo, via his right hand man Bal (presumably via TSI), currently have control of the Club via a Power of Attorney. That's completely different to them actually owning the club.

If Cleeve managed to secure investment elsewhere, and made an acceptable offer to TSI so they could recoup part or all of their "loan" and they decided to tear up the POA and walk away, it's "as you were" with Cleeve back in control.

Likewise if TSI decided that money from advance ticket sales, income from friendlies, Trust money was sufficient for them to cut their losses, they could also walk away.

I do believe that there's more twist and turns to come yet.

Jo is quite capable of walking away and Cleeve will be battling to get control of the club back.

Cleeve won't go quietly, if at all.

Saying you'll walk away, and write off all your Directors loans, is one thing. Doing it is another.

Why should Clubs get off repaying the unnecessary DCMS loans  which they took on. Let one off and they'll all want the same.

Many other clubs have already released season ticket prices,and some also arranged friendlies?

That would be the established clubs Grissles.

Fletcher Toll has left Corby I hope he's on his way to Kings Lynn F C he would be a good addition to the squad

You must have inside information?

Uptoon must still be on holiday.  Or this is Uptoon 

I reckon Keiranuptoon must be on holiday.   

Was it not SC who thought the Fit & Proper Owners test was lacking  & should look at the motives for owning a club, not just the bank balance of the owner. It's a Fair Game.

More like  Call My Bluff.

So who was so upset at last night's meeting, with what was said, that they felt compelled to contact the Club owner?.

Cleeve work with the Trust?

Looks like the "Enjoy the ride boys" massaging of the Chairman's ego is coming to an end.  Good job TSI have things sorted with HMRC though.  The walks these days is like a Disneyland Fantasy. With  the Team Manager being sacked by email from the afore mentioned.

I do hope the trust will not be persuaded to throw any money that they have into a sinking ship. Do they know this "Bal" I hope they are very carefull.

The question is how much would need to be thrown in, in future years

Fresh off the old Lynn town grapevine...

Joe and co have slashed playing budget and possible mass exodus of playing staff and manager this is why we haven't seen a retained list yet...awful if true.

Word on the grapevine today is the Captain is incommunicado. How strange .
