Just a thought, seeing as we haven't sold any season tickets yet. Wouldn't it be a nice gesture if last season's ticket holders were allowed to use last season's ticket, to make up for the match we missed last season. That would then give them 2 weeks to sort out this years.

I agree, and perhaps it's the only way to get a crowd next Saturday. There is no way we can get signed up with new season tickets, and car parking, and lift permmits in such a short period. Hopefully FV will soon see off this cretin creditor, believed to be our late failed chairman looking for further unearned contributions to his high living.

I think absolutely there needs more to be do to entice season tickets.
Firstly try and get those 8pm games brought in line with the league standards. There arent 27k getting in and out any more. Theres no reason i can think of why we cant kick of lf at 7.45.
I would also have first home game as a "bolton day". Arrive early for shirt signing from squad players, get the fanzones full with beer from Bank Top, BlackEdge and food from bolton street markets. Have people signing people up for DD season tickets with initiativea like free parking for people who pay in full.

Steady on OM, all these excellent suggestions are too much to take in for stick in the mud Wanderers. FV could certainly do with something novel to get the fans back on side after what we’ve been through. That said though, the only initiative that will get me back to the Unibol is seeing the back of Parky and co. and putting someone in charge who can play positive football. Since so much of our team will be youngsters, I’d personally give the job to David Lee if he’d take it.

I can't see how time will allow tickets to be ordered, posted and received even before the Doncaster match.

There's more chance of Parky leaving before the next game than using a cancelled ticket to get in a game. A nice gesture it may be, but in the business world, it's not going to happen. The cancelled game happened on Anderson's watch and lost forever. Perhaps, the players who went on strike should entertain the idea, as it was their doing too that led to the game being cancelled. Just because there is now a woman at the helm, doesn't mean everyone will be playing happy families and having group hugs. I'll bet she's as ruthless as the rest of 'em, but I hope a lot more honest. I can imagine the conversation in the boardroom. Sharron, there's an idea being bandied about (blah blah blah) What do you think? Sorry folks, the reply has been censored. " src="//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/superangry.png"> It would be nice for it to happen, but there's more chance of whites 63 ending his strike whilst Parky is manager.

OK, wots, but who is going to say or do something about in the next four or five days ?

Your guess is as good as mine keng. Cash only at the gate is out of the question, so they must have something planned by SB and Co., or the Admin.
In fact, rtf idea is not so much a nice gesture, but a a logical solution, if nothing is in place in the next 4/5 days.
If no takeover has been done, then who calls the shots?

It's now Monday, still no deal officially signed. Wanderers fans couldn't even buy tickets for the away game from the ticket office, how on earth are they going to get any tickets sold for the Coventry game.
We can't even swap the fixtures around to play it away, as Coventry play their home games at Birmingham City's ground and they are at home on saturday.
We could end up in a whole lot more trouble if we can't fulfil this fixture.

This has actually been the problem ever since the administration. There is no spokesperson. We actually made signngs at weekend , but who at the club gave us that information ?

Not only is it no closer apparently boohoo founders placed a bid for hotel. So deal could be further away than ever.
Not heard if Admin have made arrangements for policing, catering, stewarding, anything. Far from out of the woods.

Why on earth would Boohoo want to buy just the hotel, it doesn’t make any sense. I could understand them buying the whole thing, stadium advertising, office space, potential retail, exhibition or convention space plus excellent, easily accessible location, but just the hotel? Might they just want to be part of the consortium? Who knows with such secrecy?
As for tickets, if something isn’t sorted on ground safety and security and confirmed by Wednesday, I doubt the game will go on. I realise there are unseen delays but surely some final deadlines need to be put in place by the Administrators who are clearly the ones in control. As you say OM, we are very far from out of the woods here and Wycombe May turn out to have been a fond farewell, rather than new beginning!

Just to add to the Boohoo story, there is news this morning that they have bid for the on line rights to Karen Millen and Coast. Now this I can understand but a hotel??

The only thing i can think of its like buying Park Lane if you havent got Mayfair. Knowing that someone else needs it adds value to it.
Given too that apparently it pays for itself too so you can sit on it without panic.
Problem is if they buy the hotel then FV pulls out, club would either be liquidated or fall into asset strippers hands and the club may not be at that stadium. What that would mean to the hotel im not sure.

What that would mean to the hotel im not sure. First paragraph is logical Oom. Last one... check to see how many hotels in the Bolton area. Decent ones, I mean, not the Travelodge down River Street. You'll find that there's few good hotels, as I found out. I can see why they want it and in response to whites 63, they may be expanding their portfolio to include other streams of income, as opposed to just retail. Having rambled on, still nothing in the BN about the takeover. Just rehashed stories, which Marc is struggling to make interesting. When is someone with any credibility going to make an announcement? Even if it is just for the upcoming home game against Coventry.
