Yes. I live just off Abbey Road by the south west corner of Lords, about 5 minutes walk from the studios. No matter what time of day it is, there always seems to be tourists having their picture taken on the crossing... quite funny really. Especially when there is an irate car driver shouting at them.

[Asher]

My cousin works in there, the studio looks nothing till you get inside and then it is huge!

Lush area mate, very jealous

Oh and the main difference between me and the club directors is that they are multi-millionaires and I'm not.

I very much doubt Sandy Gray & mark Devin are multi millionres. As for Mike diamandis, who knows? hes not even a director though as the dodgy cunt is still banned as far as I'm aware

Diamandis can once again act as a company director but you're spot on.  No one on the current board has the personal resources or the desire to sink their own personal fortune into the club.

Wee Willie is and has always been a figurehead.  A Delia of sorts  designed to give a public face and image to the takeover from DD and IB and he’s said just as much on a couple of occasions since.

The only other board member who may have resources to any extent they’d make a difference is Bob Holt who appears to have disappeared up the Khyber.  

The only source of cold hard currency is Sir Seton Wills whose money is used to stop the threat of being wound-up.  Coincidently the last winding-up order averted by a couple of days was only three short months ago.  

I think the set-up may be dubious as hell but it’s Wills choice of team on the coal face, they are the ones appointed at the AGM to run the club and if you don’t like it then buy some shares and oppose their re-election.  Aside from Sir Seton the single most crucial element that looks like it could assure our future and probably has done over the past three seasons is the prospect of developing the CG site.

Until concrete proposals are put to the council no one knows precisely what the make-up or the reality of such a development may be.  The first set of proposals were unworkable but the club and council while they may be at a bit of a stalemate have agreed to work together and find a viable solution.  I can’t see anyone waving at least a couple of million as an alternative.

From the outside, it is hard to imagine that some of the greatest records ever were made in there.

Can't say that I've ever been inside though, much as I'd like to.

Don't get too envious though, in a few weeks time, I'm moving to a flat in Kil(l and )burn  :shock:

[Piemonte]

Cracking post Dazzza. I agree 100%

[Arriba]

good post dazza.
what if the council and board cannot come up with a viable solution though?
i just hope it all works out.

[RobertT]

Then they might need a bit of a nudge in the right direction from interested parties, namely us, the fans!

[strooood]

To be fair some games we have been a tad bit messy, may explain it but most of our lot spend about 100 a weekend on footy/sat, and before anyone starts no we dont touch drugs such as coke etc as thats a mugs game.

As for my last deal that would have been the invoice I just typed, wow £47.50 im retiring now, ha ha

 :roll:

As Rob says, the fans jump in and do thier best to make sure it does work, because at the end of the day its OUR football club....

 I'd agree with most of that, but it should be pointed out that Wee Willie arrived on the scene as a director in 96/97..when there was the last share issue.

 This was when SSW hoovered up the excess shares and became by far the major shareholder ahead of the likes of Peter Godwin,

 BTW.....David Hempelman Adams also held 100,000 shares at the time the same as Carson.

Perhaps if the "burden" of keeping the club alive is too much for Wills, he might want think about offering some of his shares for sale to the fans?
