They are very hard to resist when waiting to pay, I'll give you that.


Couldn't help noticing they've gone up to 95p for a small bar this week. Scandalous.


Didn't know you could still get them. At last some good news...


They're not easy to find. A decent alternative I think are Aero peppermint bubbles.

My petrol station go-to used to be Time Out until they fcuked with it and made it into a bland Blue Riband clone.

Twats.

Ashley in talks to buy Headingley Cricket Ground too.

could we groundshare with them if the Stadium Of Noise can't be bought from Dai?

Most away games would be closer than the home games

Well thanks to Dai at least it's exciting, going day to day thinking that today could be the day that new owners arrive and the future starts.

Does anyone know why Ashley's people arrived at the ground last week by helicopter? Is a very noticeable way to travel. Why couldn't they just come by car?

What was the urgency of coming on a Sunday morning rather than on a standard working day or even attended the match the day before (as other potential buyers have allegedly been spotted watching in the boxes).

I don’t think he was present was he? Just his representatives

To get Storey out of the way

Hence Storey’s “exclusive” tweet, followed by his “due diligence” withdrawal a day or so later

I would welcome Ashley

but it's not impossible he was just
interested in buying the ground?

I'm not sure why his representatives went on a tour of Bearwood as well then if they were just interested in the stadium.

Probably just checking things over to be ready as there's an "opportunity" if things pan out a certain way. Chopper was likely the most efficient mode of transport open to them to get them there on time given they all probably live over a large area and would possibly want to discuss it together.
