Yeah, but the fee from us would have helped clear their £33 million debt I've heard they've got...

I heard we bid 33 million

The charge that we are £11 million in debt is factually correct.  It ignores, however, that the £11 million is a liability to the club's owners who, happily, are the most supportive we have known in years.  It is one thing to owe £11 million to your owners; and an entirely different proposition to owe that sum to unrelated creditors or, for example, HMRC.

While I hope the present owners are around for some time to come, they will have had their eye on an exit strategy from day one.  Almost certainly, this would involve investing in the club to enable it to grow its revenues and develop its facilities, enabling an eventual sale to another party.  The £11 million they currently have invested in STFC is all the proof you need of their commitment to the club's future success.  The sum of £11 million is a lot of money; but there is nothing untoward or exceptional about an owner liability of this size on the balance sheet of a club of our size.  We should not be complacent, and we should certainly be grateful for the support offered by the present Board - but we're in a good place.

I had the pleasure of playing against an Oxford fan today, I had my Swindon shorts on, and he made it very clear of his dislike towards the champions! Evidentially he found it very hard to understand what champions meant.

Then when we scored a last minute winner, there was only one place I was going to celebrate, right in his face! It was like keown and van nistleroy all over again  Bye Cheesy
