    Without all this cloak and dagger stuff could I just ask given what you heard last night do you feel positive about the immediate future of BFC? and is there still the possibility of a takeover? Thank you.

    The club is in a healthy position

    With regards to the financial situation, especially in the current climate. Various aspects with regards to ticketing, bars, quality/quantity of food, exploiting the potential of finding new supporters, coaxing back lapsed fans, were all brought up. Any potential takeover, were one to take place, would take quite a bit of time to complete.

    Kevin, as a valued poster on this forum, do you feel better about the future given what you heard last night, none too bothered about tickets/bars/food. Are we going forwards or backwards?

    It would appear

    If the club is to progress, then investment from elsewhere will probably be required.

    Hopefully

    I think Gally ought to buy the club, he's certainly wealthy enough!:D

    The club made a small profit last year. But the sale of Butterfield enabled Hill to keep the same budget. Therefore without such sale this year, you would presume it will be much reduced next season.

    The penny seems to have dropped about £28 pricing - with £25 Saturday games, £20 Tuesday a possibility.


    Obviously our league position doesn't help things. Not knowing what division you will be in next season has a big effect on the immediate future
