I havent a clue where that 200k has gone for ian craney. Maybe erics dentist bill?

Now you're talking FC.
IMHO we blundered in not taking a the forward view when we delayed the building of the Clayton end roof. Look how many came for the free-entry Torquay game and packed the Clayton end, but then mostly beggared off at half time because of the weather. We lost a hell of a lot of potential new fans that day, missing the thrilling end to the game. Banks were practically throwing money around when we should have speculated, and OK things are very different now, but surely "where there's a will there's a way"?
