£7 million in the bank thats great.
I just wish it was true.
We hade debts of just over 3 million
The total deal for the ground that was always quoted was just over 12 million
This figure though included the tesco sponsorship of 1 million a year for four years.
Thats why people say we got 8 for the ground.
That money was not kept by us.
It was used towards the new ground.
Our first couple of years there we lost money (they did not make a lot of noise about the loss, what does it matter with a millionaire owner?).
Then we made a profit!!!!!
God we told everyone.
We lost our ground through one reason.
We spent far too much money. Money that we did not have. It was all done on the never never!
Mo built us a fancy castle and when he realised that its sand foundations were giving way he scarpered.
Jack took over and the juggernaught kept going for a year or two before the wheels fell off.
Best of all Mo comes swanning back, Tells us all he needs three years to sort it out and six years later we are in a worse state than ever!
Lets protest to get rid of this little Man who is ruining our club!

I absolutely refuse to do away with my season ticket - an 18th birthday present which was bought for me by my hard-working low-earning mother!
As I've said before, as painful as it is to watch, I still love my rugby and could not see myself stood outside the stadium knowing there's a game going on inside.

Maybe a protest is needed.
Suggestions:-
1) At our next home game, turn up but don't go into the ground for the whole duration of the match. Just stand outside the turnstiles.
2) Boycott our next away match.
3) Throw our season tickets in the Dougie.
Okay, nobody showed interest in my earlier ideas; so here is one that you will not like but it might work !
If the Saints beat us on Friday; let's not protest at our home game on Easter Monday because it will distract the team from beating the Quins. Better still lets go to the Latics Vs Villa game on the Tuesday night ( in the West Stand ) and protest there. Lindsay will be there and he'll be well embarassed; and it should get good national press and media exposure. Brilliant !!!!!
Made me chuckle would eye catch and a very good idea

Its not a good idea as it means we have to may to watch the latics when thats one thing we dont wana do it makes them think we have decided to leave the rugby n watch them

it is a good idea!
Its very logical actually. If we turned up, we'd outnumber the latic fans anyway
