Clapham Saint Posted 10 April, 2013 Share Posted 10 April, 2013 Jesus, the overreaction from their fans on that News link is comedy. It's a court case to determine if, and for how much, the ground can be sold to the PST. Nothing more, nothing less. It hasn't suddenly given you £300m to play with, it hasn't promoted you back to the Premier League, it sure as hell doesn't undo everything else that has gone before. And it certainly doesn't guarantee anything about your future. It could even prove to be a millstone around your neck in the future, especially given the state it is in. It's a bit like a tramp celebrating that he's been allowed to buy a wheelie bin to live in. Or that a tramp has been told that somebody else has bought a wheelie bin for him to live in - - provided he leaves the que for the prized spot under the bridge - and the 3rd party retains ownership of the wheelie bin and may chose to sell it at any time.

The stark reality of L2 and no money will gradually sink in. To be fair, I don't either, to a certain degree. Far better that our position is asserted via genuine league position, rather than off the pitch over the coming seasons. I just find their 'celebration' rather hollow and a bit pathetic to be honest.

OldNick Posted 10 April, 2013 Share Posted 10 April, 2013 It would have been justice if they had lost their ground forever. They still have the rallying point, something if lost would have meant their death-knell. Seems to me they have got away with it. I saw them skulking around the lower leagues before and they came up, it would be nice that they wouldnt again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
