Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Their involvement can give them some golden years and leave them in a much better position when they finally leave, but long term I don't see how Wrexham can sustain a Championship team in the same way we can't sustain a Premier League club. Population, geography and being a "big club" do...

Re: The Magic Number Thread

Of course the magic number is still 1, it's just that we know that it's covered We've already achieved the number of points needed to ensure that four teams finish below us. Therefore it is 0! Magic number doesn't take into account teams playing each other - it is just a simplistic guide to how clo...

Re: The Magic Number Thread

Next season it should start from 138 and be updated weekly on how many more points we still need to finish top. Standards must be raised. The temptation to set it up as: Champions - 138 Promotion - 138 Play offs - 138 Survival - 138 And track all 4 is there. But keeping it up would be a mammoth bal...

Re: Derby away parking fine

A happy end to this story. But worth reminding, when you get a parking fine from a private company, you are in a contractual dispute with them. Any "appeal deadlines" are bogus. They can't fine you more for taking longer to pay. And they can't fine you more for taking longer to appeal. The...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Bristol Rovers (a)

Selles - great to see that emotion come out last night - sign that they believe the job is done. As the players came over, he was gesticulating wildly at his team on the bench to get everyone involved. Those sometimes-weird moments earlier in the season where he insisted players applaud the fans st...

GDPR and the loyalty points

Anyone noticed that you can no longer see how many points your friends and family have without emailing the ticket office? Interesting that they would give someone this info about someone else over email without that person's concent. But more interestingly, i can see all the purchases that my conne...

Re: The Magic Number Thread

Does the Magic Nubber take into account the fact that Burton play Cheltenham and also travel to Fleetwood? One of the teams in each match must drop two or more points in each match. That means that at least least four points cannot be counted in the overall total left to play for. This reminds me o...

Re: Reading FC Womens World

Dai has ruined the women's team even more than the men. 8 years in the WSL, players like Kirkby and Williams featuring. Now a part time team fighting not to fall into non League. Shameful. I've been thinking about this. My Chelsea women's supporting colleague said he's been to the Mad Stad to watch...

Winston Biscuit How many different 'definate' organisations are the ITK mob saying are the one who has exclusivity? I have seen either 3 or 4. Can anyone better that?


It's known as "inclusive exclusivity"

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

Did Zing pay for his 51% and did he get it back or forfeited it when that share reverted to SJM? It's something I have wondered before but never checked it out. There's conflicting info. At the time I recall the deal being pay x for 51% with a deadline for the remaining 49% with the lot reverting t...

If it was the Wilf brothers then we could have won the owners jackpot. They’ve been transformational for the Vikings, who now have the best facilities, infrastructure and stadium in the NFL. Not going to get excited though until something confirmed. Would love to see football run more like the NFL....

Re: Have your go at being ITK

I was speaking to my work contacts at HMRC and they've said we paid the tax on time this month. They were able to tell me this because HMRC lets all members of staff no matter which team they work in have a look at any taxpayers records, at any time they want. My contacts in DCMS told me Reading are...

Thing i dont understand about the failed Bearwood sale takes on here is, the planning permission said it was for the personal use of RFC.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Being owned by anyone other than Dai can only be a good thing; obviously, if we get bought by someone (or some organisation) and they continually fail to pay HMRC, pay bills or pay wages, who look to asset strip the club of its value and take us to the very brink of extinction, then maybe we can sa...
