Can he sell the club without the say so of the wives?
Can he, legally, enforce any kind of gagging order upon any new owner to cover his arse - even if that which he wishes to keep secret are, in fact, illegal.

Almost April and no news on season ticket or match day pricing and nothing on Holloway's contract. Is it worrying times more so than usual with this outfit?

Bradford have sold out their allocation in the Arkells and requested more tickets. Not sure exactly where they will go unless the club can sort out the Stratton Bank.

They struggle opening a turnstile, a stand?  |

I suspect as much as anything an economic decision has to made comparing costs of keeping it up to scratch (and staff available to open it) and all RA's etc up to date vs the revenue if would bring in being basically used a couple (if that) of times a season. Setting aside the Bradford game, until we get a bit further up the ladder I see little point spending a penny on it until its possibly needed when the TE is demolished/developed, how often are we realistically gonna sell out in this shitty league, or to be honest the one above! |

The demand for the Stratton Bank will be probably less than 3 times in the next 5 years…
Absolute waste of time doing anything with it other than knocking it down.
If STFC want to accommodate the few bigger away followings that will come - it would be much easier to just give them more of the Arkell’s & if need be relocate a few season ticket holders for a game (if we are even having season ticket holders going forward!)

Bank = money pit
If Bradford could sell it out then maybe. If its a few hundered more then pointless

Dont think its been fully used since Man City has it? wasn't it opened just the once last season for Wrexham and they didnt get near selling it out? |

Bradford travel well but I doubt there is a need to open the bank for maybe 300 or 400 extra at most.
Costs of extra policing and stewarding and staff etc would likely outweigh any benefits financially for the club.
