Hot News. Me and Tarks are Buying a Football Club...
« on: May 03, 2007, 10:56:59 AM »
We don't know which club it'll be yet, but we've both signed up as co-owners.

(Mince will be asleep by now).

Anyone else want to come in with us?

It's very exciting. I want to be the new Special One.

For Elizabeth:  A football club is very different to a golf bat.
I apologise, in advance.

Since I already donate far too much money to Dundee United, I will decline but keep us posted about how it's going. Are you going to get those professional-looking managers' coats?

Oh Gawd - I just thought - we might end up with Dundee United!

I'll get a posh coat, but Tarks will probably end up being the tea-lady. A white pinny would suffice there.

We just might be heading for our first boardroom bust-up already.

It won't be Dundee United 'cos it's English (and Welsh) teams only. Read the small print, Ball Boy!

We obviously won't be able to afford a Scottish team.
I apologise, in advance.

Wrexham would be handy for you!

I suggested Wrexham on the registration form, Peepsie, though Shrewsbury Town have just built a brand spanking new stadium on the outskirts of town, which looks very nice from the A5.

I don't know what they're going to call it yet, but I suspect it may not be New Gay Meadow.
I apologise, in advance.

We're about to buy Ebbsfleet United.

YESSSSSS!
Anyone live near Gravesend?
I apologise, in advance.

Don't worry Roger they are so far away from you that you would have to take a week off to go to a match.

Hi - I'm down in Kent now. (Home of the mighty Ebbsfleet Utd). Flew down this evening. Yes, I had this news in my mailbox this morning. Ebsfleet Utd used to be Gravesend and Northfleet. They're near the top of the Conference so could be in the Football League next season.

You're down there as the news is breaking, Peepsie? Fantastic! You simply must make a pilgrimage to the hallowed turf and report your findings here. Get in there early doors, as they say.
I apologise, in advance.
