A lot of anti havvy fans should think themselves lucky that they now have a team which isn't fighting for the wooden spoon at the moment.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

highside 118 Posted January 4, 2020 Quick question why does the Newcastle website list George English and Andrew Dalby as club owners ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tsunami 10,219 Posted January 4, 2020 26 minutes ago, highside said: Quick question why does the Newcastle website list George English and Andrew Dalby as club owners ? Probably for the same reason that the Club will retain it's current trading name and business name until the time is correct to change the name and ownership to Rob's name. If it had been changed before the AGM, Newcastle would have been considered a new promotion, open to more scrutiny, a loss of seniority and possibly stricter and higher financial bonds held by the BSPA. It's much simpler to do the change later. Mr Phillips name didn't appear as he had already left the promotion. Hope that helps. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Portillo is quite personable without his politican's hat, one of my favourite programmes travelling through probably my favourite part of the British Isles via one of my favourite modes of transoprt. There is much to like and this programme alone is almost worth the price of the licence fee, almost....

Dandelion 775 Posted January 8, 2020 Race bingo... Sounds interesting On a serious note, glad to see Rob arranging such events to get the fans together outside the season, and really nice to see the new signings showing their faces Especially the Czech and the Slovenian!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
