Plymouth is in Devon. Good post though. Yep, but I still think Cornwall would get behind them. If Bude guys travel to Somerset CCC then Plymouth would have no problem attracting fans from Cornwall. Was reading on their forum the other day that some of them are concerned about Truro city!

Why doesn't he just go to a game if he wants to? I doubt the new owners either know or care who he is. I think after the way he was treated a letter confirming he is welcome again would be a good way to draw a line under a sad part of our recent history.

its in the post this morning BRISTOL ROVERS: Influential Jordanian family at advanced stage in talks over significant investment Bristol Rovers could be close to receiving significant Middle-Eastern investment BRISTOL Rovers are at an advanced stage in talks with a Jordanian family interested in making a significant investment in the club, the Bristol Post understands. Rovers have continually made public a desire to attract new investment and recently confirmed that as many as 12 groups of potential investors had expressed interest, which failed to materialise into anything significant. Yet, the Post has learned that Rovers have been in ongoing discussions with the Al-Qadi family, who are significant shareholders in the Arab Jordan Investment Bank (AJIB), for several months and an announcement that a deal has been signed is believed to be imminent. The family, which is considered one of the most influential in Jordan due to their banking and tourism interests, is headed by Abdulkader Al-Qadi, who founded AJIB in 1978. The Post understands that the investment is a "family commitment" but that one of Al-Qadi's three sons, Wael, would take a lead in managing the investment at board level. Currently working as an assistant general manager at AJIB, Wael has a keen interest in football and has held positions at both the Jordan Football Association and the Asian Football Development Project, which was founded by FIFA presidential candidate HRH Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein. He is a keen Chelsea supporter as a result of being schooled in London as a youngster before going on to complete his education in America at firstly, Boston University, and then, Harvard Business School. Several members of the family are expected to be present at the club's annual Valentine's Ball tomorrow night after taking in Rovers' League Two game against Morecambe at the Memorial Stadium on Saturday afternoon. But still nowt on t'main site In the words of the song, "When will they ever learn?". I am sure James got this exclusive by agreeing to remain quiet until now, even yesterday he denied knowledge.

BRISTOL ROVERS: Influential Jordanian family at advanced stage in talks over significant investment
Bristol Rovers could be close to receiving significant Middle-Eastern investment
BRISTOL Rovers are at an advanced stage in talks with a Jordanian family interested in making a significant investment in the club, the Bristol Post understands.
Rovers have continually made public a desire to attract new investment and recently confirmed that as many as 12 groups of potential investors had expressed interest, which failed to materialise into anything significant.
Yet, the Post has learned that Rovers have been in ongoing discussions with the Al-Qadi family, who are significant shareholders in the Arab Jordan Investment Bank (AJIB), for several months and an announcement that a deal has been signed is believed to be imminent.

I think we should keep it until we have an outcome with the current situation as the people who are fed up of it can ignore easier and the people interested can still get involved.

Strong story now that NH will indeed call a press conference for Friday to announce a deal with our Jordanian cousins. Sorry to create another thread, but it's only for a few days. Not hopeful about the details, but it seems like a deal at any price. Hope it's not true, but this has now been added to by several influential people at Rovers. Please tell me you have not started this thread due to a post on another one?!

As with last year, I'm more worried about ".....the existence of a material uncertainty, which may cast doubt on the group's ability to continue as a going concern." Although we were all told not to worry about that last year. It's standard wording you will find in most football clubs accounts.

after their 3rd he made a point of goading the away end, this would have been fair enough had he been getting some stick from us but don't think he did?

I'm bored of this takeover, has anyone heard about the consortium looking to buy out the consortium once the consortium has bought out the club after the valuation has been settled after the appeal has been settled?
