Question Will there be a Takeover announcement next week (commencing Monday 10th July 23), and if so, when.

[* ORM *]

Is someone taking the club over? I must have missed that

Hopefully

This is Ron Martin, it's such a complex transaction, buyers predominantly get twitchy during the closing stages and the longer it goes on..........!

All parties need to agree, wouldn't surprise me if they pull out or it's not for Ron and we go back to step 1.

Ron Martin not in control any more, after the incident last Friday when this club was close to get thrown out of the league. Hopefully the takeover will be done this Friday.

Well according to sources it was "95%" done last week.

If they had managed to achieve 95% in that time then 5% shouldn't take much longer.

I think that those trying to buy the club are desperate to get it over the line.

Have you never seen a Microsoft Windows status bar?

I thought of the same analogy! or any update bar for that matter

*Ahem*. 5 to 5 to be pedantic.

Only if you are too young to remember Eamonn Andrews at the helm.
Originally it was at 5 o'clock until the BBC's bizarre rescheduling changed it to 4.55.

That did my little head in then, and I am still finding hard it to deal with now.

I don't go back quite that far, but it was most definitely on at 5 o'clock for a period. In the early sixties, its start always seemed to coincide with a power cut that was a regular feature of Friday evenings in the South Benfleet of those days.

Well, that's Monday and Tuesday voters (15) blown out. The poll does allow you to change your selections if you want to.

If we get to the end of the week with nothing announced I'll reset the poll for next week. Never a dull day on the Zone eh?

Pretty sure you can scrub today's (39) votes as well unfortunately

I’d suggest guessing what week rather than day.

When is Boxing Day this year? Asking for a friend.

Friday's here and we are down to the 29.7% of us that think today could be the day. Pretty damn exciting eh?

Wasn’t that the programme that gave the phrase ‘ooh I could crush a grape’ to the World?

Reading that back though perhaps I’ve got mixed up as it looks more like something you’d expect John Inman or Larry Grayson to say!

No wonder us kids of the 70s were such a weird lot…

Announcement today 3pm

Wasn't that Bobby Ball of Canon & Ball fame?

It was Stu Francis who used to say 'oh I could crush a grape' sadly I am sure Stu died a few years back .
