WestYorksRoyal Nobody reputable backing it up yet. Not expecting a club statement obviously, but when it's the real deal we will see reliable reports.


Some of the so called reputable sources have already been wrong about the take over. Earnshaw, is pretty reliable so hopefully, he’ll tweet something soon.

Anthony Smith and Darren Witcoop have been wrong about absolutely everything. John Percy has a mixed record; his reporting of the Storey deal was a howler, but he's been right on things like points deductions in the past.

James Earnshaw has been doing a great job reporting, and he is currently saying he can't confirm the rumours (though not denying). People have issues with Dellor but he's been pretty reliable too.

I'd still believe any of them over "106RFCultra" or "1871DaiOut" reporting it from a secret but very reliable source though.

The Royal Forester Did you not know SPAM is not only good to eat but....


Of all the fake news and false information ever posted on this website, that has to go down as the most egregious

You don't like SPAM, then? You must be young, not like the old fogies, like me, who remember eating it in the early post war years, when there was nothing better to be had, If there was anything else our parents could get at all, that is!


The spam fritter from the 555 Fish Bar on the Oxford Road when there was an evening game at Elm Park used to last exactly as long as it took to walk up Wantage Road before turning into Norfolk Road and into the ground at the Tilehurst Road end, and was absolutely lush..............

Uke Rumblings on Twitter that Ashley bid has been accepted


I have seen rumblings about a done deal, so fingers crossed.


That’ll be enough for Brogue to confrim it

I think the rumblings came when someone mentioned the 555 fish bar.

Seen nothing on Twitter from anyone, and I follow Earnshaw and most of the regulars who claim to be ITK

Makes sense that Ashely would wait until Black Friday to buy the club. . . . .

But we should expect a club statement saying that a bid has been accepted but further details cannot be revealed until due diligence and the ODT have been successfully completed.

Is this the same source that had you confirming that Storey had bought the club?

Not sure if this is the best thread to put this but sod it. The charge against Bearwood has been satisfied as of last Friday according to Companies House.

Absolutely not clear if this as a result of the loan that the charge was for having been paid off over the full term or if it has just been cleared to make way for an upcoming sale of the club but its gone anyway, which can only be a positive.
