    How about this

    Gibb wants 5m for the stadium
    Rupp wants 10M for the club

    Gibb gives us the stadium and becomes a 50/50 partner in the club... The clubs value goes up - Happy days

    Interesting thought, and workable if Gibb became CEO. He knows how to run a successful business does GG

    Get shut of Sparks - Gibb becomes CEO , Rupp can rest knowing the clubs stocks gone up and in safer hand

    The clubs 500k better off per year and the pension fund owns half the club

    Rupp gets his wonga back when he decides to sell up - -he should get his dosh back because the clubs value has gone up with owning the stadium and if and when were in League 1 / championship

    That's what I suggested earlier but surely someone has proposed something to him before.He really does hold the ace card.He can veto any serious buyer by asking a fortune for the ground.

    I’ve often thought it would be logical for Gibb to buy the club, but as pointed out, he’s a successful businessman man and therefore, there must be a reason he’s dismissed the idea. Namely, he gets x amount of money a year for doing nothing. I don’t blame him!

    If the rumour is to be believed after his speech on the pitch before the game he said we'll always have a home it was said he would never set foot in Valley Parade again as long as Julian Rhodes was anything to do with the club.

    Late to the party here. What happened to Wilson. Is he injured or dropped?

    He didn't deserve dropping after the Doncaster game.

    So….The big question……did the bus journey turn out to be the highlight of the day?

    We have developed a good park and ride scheme. We set off from home at 1pm, took about 20 minutes into Bingley. We parked up at the side of the station, cost £4. For that you get to park until 6pm. If you want 6-12 midnight it costs an extra £1. Caught a bus, we had to wait about 10 minutes, free with bus pass. Very crowded with shoppers and other football fans. We arrived at VP about 2ish. Return journey was 10 minute wait with other disconsolate City fans. Arrived in Bingley 5:40. We decided to have a pizza to take home so it was about 6:20 arriving home. Not a bad way of getting there tbh.
