Yup. We can't pay the debt. And it's all over with Best Holdings. But don't worry there are other interested parties as well  :roll:

Quote from: "stfc4lyf1992"
I emailed Ben Lambert last night, asking him to get an announcement made regarding the future of the club, you can read the email here:

Quote
Hi Ben,

I'm not overall sure if you're the person I should be emailing this too, but it seemed like I should seeing as you're the only e-mail I have.

I'm sure I'm not the only Swindon Town FC fan wanting to know answers, and I hope that you will be able to persuade someone to at least give us answers as to whether or not the club will be able to survive unless a major investment is made very soon, or if we will be able to survive with out the takeover from Best Holdings going through, should it fail.

I'm sure you have recieved many emails like this lately, but I can't emphasise enough how much the fans deserve to know a few answers.

As would many board members of other clubs, I'm sure they are going to be skeptical about making an announcement should it be one that Swindon fans are hoping not to hear following the heavy protests that took place outside the Arkells stand following the Cheltenham game, but as I said above, I feel that the fans of Swindon Town, who are the life and blood of the club, as the fans are with others, deserve to know what is going on behind the scenes at the club we all love.

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only fan who feels this way, And I hope that you'll be able to make an announcement yourself, or get someone else such as Bob Holt, to announce if the club will be able to survive in the future unless major investments are made.

I look forward to hearing back from you.

Thanks,
Chris


And heres is my reply:

Hi Chris – we are hoping to get an update out tomorrow that will provide all our fans with the latest re Best Holdings and the short and long term future of the club.

 

I am very hopeful that it will be positive news!

 

Regards,

Like I say Gazza, we've asked as press and nothing has come out, so don't hold your breath.

Hopefully the positive news is that someone has bailed our short term cash crisis out whilst they commence due diligence.

Can't see it myself.
