    One of the assessors at his game, an ex pro, was talking about the Championship and the money that parachute payments will provide (30 mil he mentioned - a year!).

    He said that the one club in this league that will get taken over soon and money thrown at is us. He quoted the £1 million Cryne wants, no debts etc. He's not linked to the club and I've never spoken to the lad about what we're after. Seems something might be close...

    Is this the same mate who is training to be a helicopter pilot or a different one?

    No, the point he was making was that we were the best opportunity for someone to come in, invest plenty of cash in pursuit of the Prem and the parachute payments.

    Is he called Scott? played football with him up at Vida a few times a few years ago - he was reffing up there and taking his exams then.

    Think Cryne, The Don and The Invisible man will still be the only board members at the start of next season, unless Kipper wins the Euromillions.

    He could well be the owner of the 64 million unclaimed from two winners on the Euromillions that goes to good causes if not claimed by next week.

    I don't understand what could possibly make us attractive to anyone.

    We have no tangible assets and thanks to a ridiculous pricing policy we have the smallest attendances in the division.

    If the club are looking to sell and trying to make the club look attractive then they've got a funny way of going about it because they seem to be doing their level best to reduce the customer base and with it the only real asset the club had other than it's football league status.

    We're pretty much debt free and those stay away fans would soon be back claiming they'd never left if these investors threw money at us and made us a promotion challenging club.

    That's a lot of ifs and buts. The fans MIGHT come back IF we do well.

    If I was rich enough to buy a football club as a play thing I'd buy one with a large fanbase, its own stadium, land and facilities and pay to clear its debts rather than buying one debt free with 7,000 fans and not one single tangible asset who rent their ground.

    Totally agree! big injection of cash, better players, a winning team, people will come back i have no doubt whatsoever. Some folk have short memories of sell out crowds every week in the prem. Folk want value for money and a winning side going places will tempt them. The support is definately there if the team is successful.

    That would be my cousin, Scott Ledger, who's a PL linesman and from Royston.

    Norwich match on Sunday for him this week.
