After 21st Dec Bates will be Chairman in name only - quite a normal step I believe when new business owners take over a going concern. GFH C (with a financial backer) will be 100% owners. Surely that means no more money into Bates' pockets? Isn't this the main reason the "boycotters" were staying away? I honestly think that the majority of the boycotters would come up with any excuse not to go, instead of just admitting: - I don't miss it - I've grown out of it - I can't afford it - I've found other things to do - I prefer shopping with the wife - I prefer decorating with the wife - The wife says I don't want to go anymore ;-) What I (we?) wanted was new investors to inject cash into the playing team - isn't this what we've got? Why not give them our support, at least you can stop again if they don't back up their talk after the transfer window? I for one am taking it on face value - we have new owners. Give it a chance.
