Is it true, a "no smoke without fire" scenario?
If it is true, how would you feel about it?

£4m would clear the decks financially, which has to be a good thing. But much has been made of ownership being secure in the hands of a lifetime fan of the club, which would then not be the case. Also, with Allam's declared appetite for a merger and claims by some Rovers fans that AP is just a front man for Allam at FC, could we all be supporting the same team before much longer?

Interesting times.


Unless you started to follow Dockers, I doubt we would be following the same team

Typical for me, this. My nearest team is Bradford, who are on the brink and by the time this happens will have tipped over the edge, followed closely by Huddersfield who are binning off their rather excellent coach. Destined to follow mid table mediocrity forever.

Looks like a banishing from another World for the OP to me.






If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Frederick Douglas

I wonder what the banning criteria are from the HDM comments section? Some weird stuff on there. Slammer could be our man with the inside track, but the server seems to be down.

More interested in our woman with the inside track - or is it inside rumour?

There is no liability... The council have taken on ALL risk... If Rovers don't pay, the taxpayer does!!

It says on the unofficial board that the rumour is "all over the city". Just thought it was worth asking whether anyone had heard it.
