    Out of interest, how much percentage wise, is the split of the PST funds to buy & run the club?

    ie, normal fans pledge = 50%, rich fans = 40%, council loan =10% etc etc??

    I'm just not sure how this can be called a "fans run club" (if successful) if the "normal" fans turn out to be the minority interest?

    Yes, but if the valuation goes pear-shaped....

    PST are vying for a 51% share. I'm not exactly sure on what percentage of pledges that requires, but as of a month ago we had 75% of pledges converted.

    Does it really matter if the fans are "rich" or "normal" ?

    At the end of the day, they are FANS.

    Doesn't worry us, so why should it concern you CBK ?????

    As Churchill said, "This is not the end. It's not even the beginning of the end, but it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning"

    Still don't see why we can't try to groundshare with Brighton or Bournemouth (or even Southampton!). Chainrai would then be left with an empty stadium that he's not gaining any money from and can't do anything with so eventually he would have to (maybe) just stop being a dick and sell it to the PST at the market value.

    How many fans would travel all the way to Brighton or Bournemouth [forget SMS, I don't think they'd have us]? 4,000?, 5,000?
    If it came to that I think Westleigh Park would be a better option. OK it only has a capacity of 5,250, but it would be packed to the rafters every game, creating quite an atmosphere!
