I think it was Chapman who stepped in to save Peterborough a few years ago wasn't it? Can't see why he'd want to dig his heels in no matter what was offered to him, he was prepared to sell before but had no written offers - ' put your money where your mouth is' comes to mind. I agree though that this season it hasn't looked like he's been trying to extend or move elsewhere but I'm only on the very outskirts of this and have no knowledge of what's actually been going on. Offer a fair price and that should result in a sale (future value increase clause included or not).
But no-oe is suggesting they won't get the rental. If the prospective promoters are happy to pay it I still don't see what crowd sizes at other tracks matter to this hearing. Have BE stated what rent they'd expect?
As the Aces showed in the semi, more than 18 can be made up so for me it's still very much in the balance. Sheffield's reserves should p all over Ipswich's and Lambert may well get at least four wins.
Nope, could never agree with that. Nothing to do outside of the stadium, seating extremely limited (for the World Cup a few years the temporary stand were awful, people just peeing on the grass and food queues 2 miles long) and if it rains a totally wasted trip. Fine if you only ever watch on TV.
Surely viability is a question solely for those who are running or wish to run a club. If it wasn't, they'd soon disappear. Neither Poole or Swindon have done because of viability so why is it important if the crowd figure is 10k, 1k or 1, in terms of viability?
