Brogue Storey just confimred gymshark are one of the interested parties


Gymshark might at least mean a decent choice of leisure wear in the megastore.


The players would suddenly bulk up massively aided by roid juice

Not so sure about Gymshark. I think I'd struggle to overcome the temptation to always call them Gymshart.

Gymshark would be massive (pun intended). Won’t happen though. Not sure how liquid it is either.

‘Not even close at this stage’

It'll take months for a sale to be agreed and go through the FL checks, however the FL are insistent now that nothing be revealed to us mugs until things are completed.

Genuine question.

Dai is open to selling and listening to offers, which will keep happening.

Aside from drawing national attention, what will more marches and tennis ball protests achieve if owner is already willing to sell?

Not a criticism at all, as I think all the SBWD movements have been great and it’s had the desired effect in terms of getting the owner to sell.

But what will more achieve aside from negatively effect the team on the pitch when we need points (desperately)

It will achieve nothing is the honest answer to that.

They’re very established within the industry, arguably industry leaders.

Not the worlds biggest cap but ample for football outside of the big boys, what Ben Francis has achieved is very impressive with a simple product. A fantastic marketer.

We've had vague noises that he's willing to sell. Nothing especially believable, and his valuation is way out.

Difficult to say if it’s making him more likely to sell

Best hope I think is that he’ll hate the spotlight and the embarrassment and cut his losses asap but he seems a stubborn git so who knows

Funnily enough the helicopter flew from north London to a location just to the west of burgess hill before flying to the SCL so it could be you me or DD
