Muller Rice would have better contacts
That kind of goes without saying given Muller are a global company and Callum is a random bloke from Leeds who owns a hotel in Lincolnshire - but I do get where you are coming from

Sir William Patey, outgoing Chairman said: “Andrew Black and the outgoing Board leave Swindon as leaders of League One, with a good chance of back to back promotions to the Championship. The quality of our squad is the legacy of the very considerable investment that has been made, and I believe the benefits of this will continue to be enjoyed by fans for seasons to come. Yeah that erm... hasn't aged spectacularly.

Since Jed and co rode into town it's really been a shit-show of owners, criminals and chancers running the club. The only thing that's really changed is a lick of paint on the CG and a weekly lottery. We've absolutely stagnated off the field and until owners that have a long-term viable plan and some wonga behind it, it's likely to be more of the same I imagine. But we know this already. Not sure where I read it but Carlisle completed their takeover yesterday and their owners seem to have a plan of action - Training Ground investment - Ground investment and investment in the playing squad to make it competitive in league 1. We're surely a better long term investment than Carlisle - no offence to them.

The ground ownership is, to be fair, a fundamental change. But it's not much to show for a decade, and is almost entirely down to luck rather than judgement on the part of consecutive owners.

Nothing to do with any of the owners, despite what Clem Jong Un says. And the benefits/pitfalls of the structure of that deal will not be known until the next turn of the ownership handle.

No, that's a good point Nemo and it's remiss of me to forget that. Very generous of Clem to gift it to the fans mind.

But Clem isn't taking a single penny out of the club don't forget. (insert relevant Jimmy Hill chin emoji as applicable)

But we know this already.

We're surely a better long term investment than Carlisle - no offence to them.
Higher division than us, and I suspect if someone were arsed to do the analysis one could make an argument that they have a sodding huge potential fan base with barely a league club within 60 odd miles of them. Plus their ownership seemed pretty stable (part longstanding local businessmen in parts going back 50 odd years/part supporters Trust) without vocal accusations of the Trust being some sort of cuckold organisation for being in cohorts with the ownership. As for the rest, its all very easy to say those things, but the proof is in the pudding which hasn't been served in Carlisle yet.

So these tribute acts at the CG - are they the same ones that do the rounds of the pubs and clubs on a Wednesday night ?
I wonder how many people on the survey said they wanted to see Chris Moyles & and a Madonna tribute act ?
Was this really the best that could be booked - I suppose they must be confident that it is a money maker though or the marketing guy is going to have some explaining to do
