Read his colum on Bristol live and it might answer some of the strange questions going around at the moment.

Quoted from Tinymariner
Some people cant leave it alone, can they? There’s finally some extremely positive vibes around the club and yet again, people want to stir it up!


Scared of the truth? If things are that good, you shouldn’t be worried about people mentioning a donation of shares by a football supporters’ organisation to a rich man.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Get a grip, there’s no conspiracy or fear of any ‘truth’. I’m just focusing on the positivity.

A slightly different perspective but a fantastic insight.

What a guy.


Sleep well Icey, Matty and Richard. Keep each other company up there xx

Didn't notice you changed those figures from your original post, why not just put the correct figures up in the first place?


The figures are correct, someone doesn't understand roundings!

Quoted from HertsGTFC

Flush new buyer comes in and ultimately buys out all share holders and they all get their money back+


Quoted from Holloway - Bristol Post
And to prove our commitment to the challenge I have invested £100,000 to buy shares in the club, which means a place on the board as well as in the hot-seat.

I believe that could prove a shrewd business move if I can take the team to a higher level and plans to move to a new ground go through.

This is confusing me, at present GTFC shares are valued at £1 per share, they are not floated so don't fluctuate with the market.  So why would anyone want to pay more than the nominal value to purchase existing shares off existing shareholders?  All this points to me that a take over is imminent, or at least expected to happy sooner rather than later. But I can't see where the return on Holloway's investment is going to come from?

It's good than Holloway is embedding himself into the club and community and by putting this extra cash into the club, gives himself leverage to bring extra players in.

The feeling I get is, as above, that something will be happening in the next couple of weeks and that is why the 'interview'went on for so long. If this wasn't a long term project, as both manager and board member then am sure his Mrs (and family) wouldn't have played as larger part.

£100k of anyone's money is a large portion to part with for wanting to be a manager of a second division football club. I expect (ok, hope) there will be imminent news on possible new investment into the club, and I would like to think that would also consist of the freeman st project.

As New Years go, I think this is beyond our wildest dreams. How many times have we looked on in awre of other clubs having their stock swelled. Thank you IH, thank you JF (pains me to say it) and let's see what the future brings

Wouldn't Holloway have just bought 100,000 new shares at £1 a piece?
