saintjay77 Posted 18 May, 2009 Share Posted 18 May, 2009 When were they named as "Preferred Bidders"? they havnt officially but then the others just seem to be waiting in the wings while Fry deals with Pinnicle so they may as well make it official. Seems to me that Fry wants to make them the official preferred bidders but also wants them to stump up a few more quid for the privalige. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree Fitzhugh, further to this with a little under two hours to go on the extended dead line; what is your take on the current situation? You do come through with good posts that make sense, so your view I think is valued by most on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
