Quoted from MuddyWaters
Love that Ollie referred to JF as Squeaky in the post match interview! To me, it depends on whether you believe a new stadium is more important than new ownership, a change is needed but a stadium is imperative.


A change of ownership will have no benefit whatsoever unless it delivered a new stadium.

If there are no potential buyers that have the demonstrable financial wherewithal better than the current owners then we are better with the current owners. My politics is not the same as JF's but as his party now runs absolutely everything in all of Lincolnshire there shouldn't be any political obstacles. If this lot can't deliver now then we've no chance with anyone else unless they had way more equity to inject.

Maybe, maybe not. I’d just like to know what Chapman and Marley do to contribute.


Marley does the accounts.

As anybody seen Chapman does he ever go to a game or board meeting ?

The board has got a new director who is forward thinking and is determined to leave a legacy.

Good old Ollie.

Intrigued to know the reasons behind your possible change of position over JF?
Is it just the appointment of IH or other reasons/
Lots of folks reversing on their previous positions.



For sure, IH has changed the dynamic. There’s a shift in the mentality around the place and Ollie is clearly here to make a difference. Given that JF is in a position to nudge the council in the right direction (though he might say he can’t!), I’d rather have him in charge than someone new who might not necessarily be have the same desire, which, however you feel about JF, he clearly has.

Because they’re not going anywhere (despite claiming they would) so from a supporter’s point of view it’s better to back them and their decisions than not. Freeman St the runaway leader in the best location stakes but as Moosey states the horse might have already bolted (although both blue and red councillors backed relocation previously - it was yellows who opposed). Hopefully minds can be changed and we can make the move.

Will be interesting to see if everyone gets behind a substantiated move for the relocation then in regards to the board.

The huge majority of people think Freeman Street is the ideal place for the ground.

Do people really have confidence in Fenty delivering it?

It is what is it, no amount of complaining, whinging smacking Fenty with a stick is going to change the situation ..
Personally we have 2 choices, put the animosity we have felt for the past 15 years to bed, leave it in the past and get behind the club or carry on complaining about JSF being at the helm while others around move forward..
I for one am now putting all the sh!te we have endured in recent years behind me, strapping in and enjoying this new wave of positivity..how the new stadium will be funded is an issue, just hope that's resolved asap and the board get the ball rolling.

Thing is, we have no choice but to trust that they finally get this one over the line. Think we have more chance now with all elements seemingly aligning. I'm just enjoying reconnecting with the club since the arrival of Olly and watching some football breaking out at BP.

Chapman may be able to help when we sell the Findus Stand to a racecourse.

It’s about five years since he had a winner! He’s had more F’s than a Jolley interview!
