    Michael Byng - anyone know much about him? I've had a bijou dig

    I don't know if I'm looking at the right chap's track record as a director (pretty sure I am); but I'm finding this as listed directorships... Michael Byng Project Control Limited 03294757 (Company is dissolved) Possible Adverse Information: 27th August 2009 Director, Quantity Surveyor: 19 Dec...

    Freehold of The Arena AND all its surrounds?!?

    I hope the link works, as I'm currently stuck in traffic, but according to Ann Lucas, this is SISU's demand. The brief bit with her beginning at 37.30; there or thereabouts: http://www.bbc.co.uk/mobile/iplayer/episode/b03q8mfs/Sunday_Politics_West_Midlands_26_01_2014 I guess SISU need to...

    In case you are worried about this fabled new stadium..

    ... in light of information from councils which appears to indicate that any progress on this new... ahem.. stadium isn't quite as some of us had interpreted some of the claims in recent times; don't worry. I've just read back to The Telegraph, dated 12th August, 2013, and the following from Mr...

    BBC feature

    Reasonable feature, quite prominent on the BBC football page: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25089406 Makes me quite angry, to be honest.....

    Best guess on finances

    I've been pondering the current financial situation, and where it may lead us. The last set of accounts, signed by Fisher, are to May 2011; and show £10.2m turnover in Limited - this being at a time when we were in the Championship with gates averaging 16.4K. Last year's figures - due to...

    Can Fisher please show me...

    .... anything, and mean anything, pertaining to the new stadium? An artist's impression? A plan? Drawings readied for planning approval/consultation? I'd like to know of proposed sites; but understand I don't have a chance in hell. But the above; well, they must exist, shouldn't they? To...

    Why would?

    SISU waste their own money on the judicial review of the council's support loan to ACL; when they're leaving the Ricoh? Are they that interested in local authority governance that they'd waste a six figure to prove a point that's irrelevant to them?

    Even I must admit....

    .... SISU don't apear to be the worst owners in English football. Blackburn MUST be a warning to all that whoever our new owners are, due diligence has to be a two-way and vigorous street this time. They're in the drop zone from the Championship, so could well be playing us next season; and...

    They can't stop themselves..

    Statement on the offal begins: Despite the recent campaign by ACL to force the football club into a deal that would be completely disadvantageous.... It's on the site. I can't be bothered to link. How do they think this sort of language is received?!?

    Average League Attendance

    This season is 6,054. Our average 10,589. How can Fisher talk in terms of the club paying an average divisional average rent, when he gets so much more than the average gate? The additional 4.5K bums on seats for every game equate to some additional £60K+ taken every game. Well over £1m...

    I like simple things....

    .... so let's keep it simple. Our average gate in 07-08 - when SISU arrived: 19,123 Our average gate thus far this season in league games: 10,554 Lost crowd per home game: 8,569 Average match-day ticket cost: £15? (allowing a mix of season tickets, concessions, away fans, posh seats, etc)...

    Is Stuart Linnell correct?

    No, it's not my bid for rhetorical question of 2012. I was almost moved to call Mr Linnell after Saturday's game and the resultant phone-in after his assertion that SISU 'were the only option' we had back in 2007. Now, I think they were the only option ahead of administration. Well, apart of...

    Fisher and Waggott renegotiating contracts

    Much has been made of Fisher and Waggott allegedly renegotiating the contracts of the senior squad over the close-season term; and the apparent negative effect it's had on motivation of the team. Many have heralded their tougher stance as worthy and met it with applause. One question though...

    Fans Forum questions???

    I very much hope Thursday evening isn't characterised by the usual anodyne questions from the normal suspects. In order to understand the thought process of those at the very top of the club, there are some proper answers I'd like to hear answered honestly, instead of vague platitudes and/or a...

    For all those who quoted 'win percentages' to out Thorn

    I'll help you with the maths. It's 0%. To quote the well-used adage. Be careful what you wish for

    Interesting statistic

    Since Thorn's been at the club, here's an analysis of transfers in, compared with transfers out (the latter including players released, etc.). Makes you realise how reliant we have become on bringing youngsters through the academy. 08/09: 8 players signed, 15 transferred out / released...

    Steve Howard joins Hartlepool

    Mentioned by a few on here as a good candidate for us. He left there 13 years ago, so I guess the emotional pull encouraged him back. Will score a few if fit, but he is 36... Oh, and he's too tall for current interest :p
