Not at all John, it's interesting. That's about 400 miles(as the crow flies) north of where I worked (Steinkjer in N.Trondelag)...probably a good 18 hours to drive in the best of conditions. Were you in the Merchant Navy, or did you visit on some sort of cruise ?
I loved it in Norway - many similarities to Canada's barren but beautiful scenery. I'd love to revisit the place someday - but I suspect most of the wonderful locals I met there would be long dead (I worked there in '67 before emigrating here).
You're probably right - not really relevant to discussing City's new ownership, but **** 'em all
No fish related, have been to a few places along the coast, but that was the furthest north. Yes nice place, left me pining for the Fjords.
So it's not true that Hull Tigers were listed on the NY Stock Exchange yesterday then ?
You're right Chazz, my last couple of seasons at the KC were dire, fans booing each other, the lack of atmosphere just saps any joy from home games. The late decision on the name change certainly did me a favour, I watch g'kids dancing and doing sport and still got my City fix at away games. No matter what happens in the near future I fear it'll be hard to get motivated to return for home matches.
Any excuse...

Could Sputnick Enterprises be the vehicle by which the consortium is trying to buy City? Did a bit of digging last night and it looks like Windy River (Gieve) and SportsVenture Group out of Charleston bought controlling interest in Sputnik Enterprises last October.

No I think this Sputnik is involved with the consortium that Duffen is involved in.
Reason why ? SPUTNIK is an anagram of SPUNK IT which sums up Duffens financial policy

OT but why does the idea that Duffen is a financial disaster and The Allams are solid businessmen come from? We had far, far less debt with Duffen than we do now*
* assuming we havent received any of next season's money yet.
If someone wants to take over on the digging as I am off to work feel free. Looks like FV Corporation is the football related holding company for Sports Venture. They put more money into Sputnick Enterprises earlier this year.
Pure speculation but who knows.

Because it was all hidden and the Allams paid for it rather than let us go bust!
