I think Roland still owns it all. Every physical asset - the land, the buildings, fixtures & fittings. Only the Club was bought by ESI. I believe that means the name itself, the players, some badges and logo copyrights, maybe the website, and not much more.
A bit harsh on @The Penguin that if he is caught outside his garden then he could be fined £1,000 and thrown in prison... for god sake Pengy stay at home!
Got several seeds in already for when the imported food supply dries up. I can sneak out to the allotment under cover of darkness at 5 am.
I have been told that the Government is planning on removing Tags from rapists and murderers so they can Tag as many pensioners as possible!
Now begins the cold language and the cold logic. Talk of herd immunity and the greater good etc. The law of the jungle. In effect, what's coming is like 9/11 multiplied a thousand fold - but played out in ultra slow motion. The Government had better get troops stationed at Supermarkets pretty quickly. I was at a store 10 minutes after they opened this morning. Hundreds of people were there, most with full trolleys. The store had 6 self-service tills (all card-only) and one manned check-out. Shoppers in the long queue were having a lively row with some junior manager about service. The store is huge, but it had chosen not to put even one extra person on the tills, while the shop was clearly raking in the money. The manager bloke couldn't defend himself. It was not very pleasant. I wouldn't like to think what that store will be like by the height of the day today.
Anyone remember the bakers' strike about 40 years ago? I was working as a delivery driver to the small family bakeries which weren't on strike. Talk about panic buying. They were queueing up at 6 in the morning, and when the baker opened the door they charged in grabbing as much bread as they could. The same people were back the next day repeating the exercise. We had to go round the back to escape the mob, and more bread was wasted then than at any time.
