Just waiting for updates the same as most people. Sorry if it appears that I am trying to have the final say and Don, t what to be going off topic. That is the proplem with the other forum. Please Don, t let it happen to this one. I am enjoying not having to wade through 20 posts every half hour looking for any update.
People are excited but there's no news.
Over here seems to be silly banter.
Over there is much finger pointing.
Roll on Lincoln.
Aye, its a sign with "Furmans" on marra
Now if it said "Furhman"
It'd be a sign with "Furhman" on

And that's only to keep Steve Bruce going for a few weeks
Still in its honeymoon period with new posters. Leopards will be seen in their true colours in my opinion.
Could be a classic day out ...
.... sold out away support as usual, on the back of good results and a 3pm Saturday kick off.
I've sent a message asking if Charlie Methven will pop into the Golden Eagle for a few pints with us.
Trouble is he appears to have a high alcohol tolerance so we might get nowt from him
Never seen a leopard with red and white stripes myself.
Just posted this over the road. Unsurprisingly none of the doom mongers have commented as yet...
"The way i see it the takeover rumour started and snippets came out most of which to date have proved factual.
The only part which appears to have caused the angst amongst some of our (how should i put it) "gloomier posters" is that the dates suggested for completion haven't been correct. Might i add that it may well have been completed but just not announced due to other external influences such as the hotel ownership and the severance packages of some surplus staff members.
A rough timeline and please feel free to correct me as it's been going on for a while.
Julio mentioned people associated/close to Dell - Proven true
DaveyRed posted the tweet from Dubai - Proven true
Reiver posted he'd seen a message from one of the buyers friend - Proven true as he's shown it to other trusted posters
Reiver mentioned flight into Ponteland - Potential new owners seen at match
FPP registered a company both in the UK and the US - points towards it being happening
SD said at talk in that it's more than 50/50 - points to it happening
SD dismisse tweets stating that it was off
So in summary most of what has been posted by ITK's has been true other than anyone knowing the announcement date which every man and his dog have said is just a guess.
Why do some people feel the need to pick up the only thing that hasn't occurred and use that as their weapon.
Oh, the monorail will happen"

Wonder if that was actually CM?
Seemed connected and vanished soon as rumours about Dell came about.
Jardine and Steve3000 will be along soon sure as the sun sets and rises again
I think we'll never know. Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.
I think it was like never know after takeover he may return? Did he get banned or just stop posting?
He seemed to know a lot about the finances and GOM confirmed it.
