I've not agreed with how the club has been run for a while now so like you decided to start posting , I've also been accused of being someone else posting under a new name by columbo sorry I mean chisset lol . One thing is for sure I bet anyone on here that MC announces in the next week that he has purchased the ground back . A nice little smoke screen to take people's minds off what is happening oh and then we will ditch the Wildcats name and revert to Trinity . Oh the man is so great they should give him the key to the city

Just for ref are you saying MC is buying it or that it is going to be owned by the Community Trust??

If he does both of those things, i will be more than happy. The ground especially, is something that neither of the previous regimes have managed. Imagine owning the ground you play in. There's a novelty.

So we get back our ground meaning we can't be evicted, and stay at our home, then we return to being Trinity? I'll have more smoke screens like that please.

I'm not saying I don't want it I'm just saying the timing couldn't be more perfect for MC . Just when people are starting to ask questions he pulls a rabbit out of his hat or in this case 2 . That's how you get people back on side . Don't you agree

That's even more cynical than I can manage, since the potential to buy BV has been talked about for months - pre-dating BS' decision to take his bat home by quite some margin.

If MC has an opportunity to buy BV and the Superbowl, propped up by hush money from YCP, then power to his elbow; it makes all of his hard work and investment worthwhile - he can either oversee the redevelopment of the site and improve our long term prospects, or flog it with something to actually flog and recoup his investment, both of which seem reasonable. If I was in that position, I certainly wouldn't be well-disposed towards a hostile take-over by some Johnny Come Lately Aussie with no stake in the club either - it's the worst possible time to consider selling, given that the value of the asset could be about to increase exponentially.

Despite what some people might think, MC is not Bruce Wayne.

I believe Carter has stated that the trust will be the owners of the ground, if all goes to plan.
He alone certainly has not suddenly' pulled a rabbit out of a hat'. Swag, the trust and the club etc have been working on this to try and resurrect something from the Newmarket (to put it mildly) let down. It seems to me that people who have their own agendas will never be satisfied and actually revel in the more negative side of things.

Hahaha so your telling me that Carter tells everyone everything as soon as it happens . Get real he announces things when it suits him believe me . Just like last year . We were never going to leave our home he just had people believing it so that when it was announced we were staying he became a hero .

Regarding your points," the timing couldn't have been much more perfect for MC", A lot of work has gone into the new ground/Newmarket project, this isn't a rabbit out of the hat moment, it's just a complete coincidence, he must shake his head when he sees the cynicism over possible good news as being a way of getting people "back onside".

Jeez, he worked a blinder, he called the BOI bluff and got the club a reduction in rent. And yes, of course he doesn't tell everyone as soon as it happens, what business does?

So you think buying back the ground and possibly Super Bowl has become a possibility overnight.

As for the reduced rent we achieved by threatening to leave, I'm totally astounded, actually no I'm not, that you see that as a negative.

I'm glad there are some sensible fans out there, voicing their support and expressing a sensible opinion otherwise I wouldn't fault Carter and Co if they said stuff it and walked away.
