Yep, I'm just waiting for Brick Top to show up and threaten at least one of us with being fed to the "piggies".

In all seriousness, I'm beginning to wonder if the BFI would be interested in funding a screenplay based around this? If Dole Queue dancers from Sheffield, The women of Dagenham, Drug culture in Embra and Punks from the 1980s Notts can join the list of classic British made films then why can't "The Circus of SN1".

Also urge any of you to read, if you haven't already "The Miracle of Castel di Sangro". I have mentioned it on here before and it's something Andrew Hawes and I touched on during this STFC season of bizarreness....on and off the field. Some of the things in that book would be quite reflective for goings on at Town...allegedly Smiley

Do we know anything about ABLE? All I seem to recall is a very poorly written letter - almost as if an American version of dopey Lee had dictated it - about a year ago.

Well he denied their existence at first, but now seems to be ackowledging them... it's sus as fuck that we know zero about them, other than Power is insistent that he must sell to them and them alone.

Difference being is that "digger" actually has some link to commercial sporting venues rather than domestic real estate. Ok, even if it was just a few plug sockets, U-bends and rolls of PTFE tape, it still is a high end development contract that AXIS secured.

I think if we'd had similar "achievement", many of us would drop it into conversation if talking to people who were considering developing sports stadia Smiley

I always though it was this lot - providing janitorial services

https://ableserve.com/

I’ve got a few queries if anybody can help

Why is Power insistent he sells to Able and not Clem - especially as Clem reckons he’s offered more than Able?

For anyone thinking of buying the club it would be way cheaper to buy it out of Admin.

What is the advantage to Power by putting the club in Admin? Any money owed to him, either personally or via other companies he owns, would see him only get 20% in the pound back as he would not be a football related creditor or a preferred creditor. I realise it would screw over Standing/Clem. Can Clem, as a minority shareholder, prevent Power/admin entirely?

Why  is Power saying he wants to sell whilst at the same time applying to put the club in Admin - again, after giving an undertaking after last year’s court case preventing him from doing so.

Is it significant that it is Clem and not Standing who has applied for the latest injunction stopping Power? May he have settled OOC with Standing and what’s the significance of him resigning from his company earlier this week.

Wigan entered Admin this season yet weren’t docked points. Why was that?

Regarding the CG. Would the council still offer the Trust 50% ownership no matter who the next owner is?

Someone on the Facebook group did some.digging and found that William Kerravouri (the 'frontman' from the leaked documents), his father in law who he works for at The Abbey Group was worth $14billion, and in the theme of recent days, allegedly! Same chap that's part of the Boston Celtics ownership structure.

From looking into them last year, I'm sure I read they were working on a stadium with the New England Patriots... So ownership desire could be based on County Ground renovation, or new stadium for us, in order to maybe expand in to stadium business in the UK maybe.

If Power is desperate to sell to them - and them only - I’d be asking myself why?

He really is an absolute turd.
