OI - I think minds can change as facts emerge and questions are raised. I'm not saying they should in this case, I'm just saying it is possible. I think it's the height of arrogance (not you, I hasten to add) when people say "I've made up my mind and nothing anyone can say will change it". Journalists and experts are beginning to dig in the deal - it may or may not change people's views of the substance of it as they do so.

OI, my theory is that you need three weeks to get the "unique voting link" to actually work

The more I read the more I am tempted to vote no.

There are probably three or four hundred who will look at these articles seriously. The rest will either vote yes because 87million and a DTB recommendation, no because we should be 100% fan owned or not bother to vote at all. They would not change their mind if presented with large amounts of information. This is not a criticism of them, football club ownership is just far from the top of their priorities. Others, like me, will read all the links and still think this is not a wonderful deal but way better than any other and so still vote yes.

I do have to say that i am puzzled by the opening of voting so soon after the presentation with no real 'digestion' of the facts.

They have allowed every one time until the middle of November to establish facts. I haven't voted yes yet but have plenty of time to do so. I am unconvinced that it is a great deal but way better than the three alternatives I suggested the other day. Even if we only get 16 million we are out of imminent danger.

We have probably already in effect sold the club to this individual.

Of course not Airsey we had wally Downes in charge

I took my son to Fleetwood for the semi-final. Laurence stopped the coaches at a pub up there before the match - excellent. We wangled our way into the home end to see the TV screens in the Gents. Went to our end where we lent Salad a scarf because he was cold. Then he bear-hugged my son when we scored. Got told off by the headmistress on the Monday for "taking Archie to a football match". Good memories.

Just got an email about Great Western Railways being nationalised next month. That had completely passed me by. Feels like a good move.

Young Pilley was the subject of a suspended 3-month EFL ban for standing as a director when he took over from his dad.

Spit - we didn't fold in that FA Cup game with Wet Spam did we?

Was such a good night (I did some decent speed on the M6 Toll on the way home got back in record time) and then the second started off with a goal virtually straight from kick off which effectively ended the tie and they fell apart from there.

Went to Highbury for the first leg. At HT, we were all laughing because their screen replayed all their chances (not many ...) but not our goal

I’m glad we have the memories of that thumping semi final aggregate scoreline because it helps drown out the memory of Tzanev at their place 😱

Wonder if Kaid Mohamed and Andrew Pilley are in the same nick.

The second leg of the playoff with their two "who ate all the pies" centre backs was hilarious.

Yes Andy is serving 13 years but must be coming up for parole soon. Owner is "son of pilley" as Trigs says, who must have some of Daddy's ill-gotten gains to keep the Cod Army in Lge Two

I don’t like music for goals anywhere at any time. Could be a vote-swinging question for our new shady owners tbh.

You lot just dont like "The Trumpet Hornpipe " when fleetwood score.

The owner is now the son, OI after the father got jailed he was no longer allowed to own a football club.

I feel like we have the historic beating of Fleetwood. Main memory of them being dicks is just that the halftime highlights from our playoff semi where they didn’t show our goal but did show a tackle multiple times in slow motion. Considering Arsenal fielded a pretty decent squad (and fair play to them for that) I’m happy for Fleetwood and the League Cup. Proper night of football.

Is Fleetwood's sugar daddy still in prison or has he benefitted from early release?

I dont begrudge fleetwood's biggest win in there 83 year history, well done to them.
