I believe that you are right. I also believe that if it were now, council's are generally more socially conscious and less inclined to sell off assets, with long term leases being offered instead.
But, importantly, Roots Hall belonged to the club, and if my history is correct, our fans in the day bought the land and built Roots Hall for the benefit of the club. What has happened in the last 25 years has been nothing short of scandalous!
Yes but RH was also handed over and huge debts run up against it before Ron arrived.
When I was a young teenage lad on the terrace the older so called wiser lads convinced me that we only had to get shot of the awful greedy Rubins. 31000 v Liverpool proved we should be playing top flight footy.....It certainly couldn't get worse.
Well it did. We have had some fun but very costly trips to 2nd tier and our debt has grown as parts of the stadium has either been sold or falls down all around us.
Along with the council and Sainsbury's we had had many people/groups milk us and completely take the p**s. If your old enough and honest enough then Ron is just the icing on the cake.
The rather childish its all one mans fault and anyone but Ron attitude is actually dangerous for our future. Just like a battered woman, not learning your lesson and appearing vulnerable makes us a target for the next wrong'un.
If only people had used their vote rather than be brave on a keyboard and slag the trust or those that actually still keep the club alive. Too late to be fussy now, any rope will do for drowning man. Will I party when we are saved and promised the world.....No I won't.... I have learnt the hard way, time is the best judge when it comes to all things football.
