    I’d say they are at least three or four YEARS behind,

    This crypto lark will never catch on. What next - electric cars?!

    And basically has nothing to do with that useless bunch. Rupp owns us he can sell to who he wants, subject to efl approval, and the waste of space that is the supporters trust can do diddly squat.

    Has anyone heard James Mason in dialogue with Wagmi United. It might explain his new job starting early January.

    This bit made me laugh-

    “We had some concerns about the motives of WAGMI Utd, but would need to look at any detailed serious proposals”

    I’m sure Stefan will be in touch when it becomes any of your f@cking business.

    Interesting. He was effectively buying a L1 club there with gates in 20 thousands? With a potential to hit 30 thousands?

    we’re not that far behind them and don’t have financial baggage and a sea of angry creditors……

    Neither do Derby County.
    Morris sold the ground and they were leasing it back ?
    Sound familiar

    We’re effectively a non-league club with recent gates of 5-7 thousand. Big difference

    What nonsense. We get the biggest gates in L2. If we're "effectively a non-league club" then so is every club in L2 and some clubs in L1.

    A combination of poor results, bad weather, Covid nervousness and people not wanting to risk infection just before Christmas have led to a recent drop in our attendances. People are pissed off and unmotivated at present. But it's not that long since we had 19k ST holders. A decent run of form with the possibility of a promotion push would soon see the gates up again. This club has way more potential for a future owner than any non-league club.

    I think it is around 500k which is not much bother as you move up the leagues and income goes up but it’s a lot of for a league 2 team
