Morning all. New 9yrspodcast up now - Stu and I investigate why we have suddenly become so open, and why we've started to concede chances and goals. We review Bradford, preview Bolton, get views on the transfer window, and play a new game of ROFHOG. Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube: [Link]

50%+1 is the crucial next step and needs to happen asap

I agree that the club update is very helpful and comprehensive- really good communication. Also, the amounts raised in donations/VPs/ waiving bond liabilities etc are simultaneously very impressive and nothing like enough.

It is definitely good news, every penny raised by people willing to donate is excellent. For me we still need to choose between two courses: (1) We must remain fan owned, how can we remain solvent? and (2) We must remain solvent, can we remain fan owned? I'm for approach 2 and will vote for people who I think are that way inclined.

Best wishes to candidates for the forthcoming DTB elections, I'm sure you'll know the closing date is nearly upon you.

There were 6 VP’s listed in first programme this season, there are 13 listed in most recent programme.

No idea, Keefy. At the published rate, x1 VP & x13 patrons is £146,800. Less than half the 300k claimed 🤷‍♂️

Exactly that 6MDM, too many will slap each other on the back too quickly when this is only scratching the surface

Regarding time, quite simple, 24 hour clock. I've used this for many years and it never fails.

Strange how some see the update as bad news. In the words of Laozi, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step".

So we've raised about a quarter of our annual operating costs shortfall so only need to quadruple that and keep doing it in perpetuity and then find a bit on top to pay off the outstanding debt to the majority who will want their money back and we can continue as we are.

That’s one of the best updates I’ve read on the clubs home page in forever. Great stuff!! Well done those who are able to, and can make a difference!

Yes KD a massive discount to be a Patron.

On property side

Dan Stern is in finance his father is Lord Nicholas Stern. The Dan you are thinking of is Danny Norris who is a lawyer and helped the club enormously

I remember Paul Miller, scored against Shilton, but not Peter Miller?

You have me now Spit, what are they about and what time?

Not sure if Dan Stern is a lawyer (you may be thinking of a different Dan, OI) but I think he is Nick Stern's son.

Oh, I am keeping MyFingers crossed at the words in brackets in today's OS update: "We have been trialing some new independent food providers in the Fanzone, and will continue to do so, alongside regular traders such as Souvlaki, Naked Chips and Dough Shack returning already (with other familiar faces soon to return), as well as several new, local providers."

I think Dan Stern is a lawyer who helped us out at various times, possibly to do with the stadium.

Bolton game being shown at the Nelson Arms.

Is that Peter Miller the ex-WFC bod? Also, why does the name Dan Stern ring a bell?

No suprised here on some of the patrons but good to see more off the debt. WAWF is a waste of time though. [Link]
