I was being charitable. It’s what I’m known for.

My old man is big friends with Ivan Hollett. He was telling us about it beginning to drop to bits internally after 12 months of being built.

I am imagining things or was the modern redevelopment supposed to look really different??! I've always wondered about that

Ever since he was moved on, people have hammered Haslam for selling him to line his own pocket. Well its interesting that he was sold to pay the Police bill and stop the club from being wound up. Lets also not forget the backdrop of that season, people were staying away and the income was well down, essentially forcing this sale to pay other bills.
Obviously if Haslam hadn't been so greedy in the years previous, we wouldn't have been in that situation, i'm not for a second saying he was good for the club or that i love him or anything else... But i just think its funny how everyone automatically assumed Barker was sold to line Haslams pocket one last time before he was forced out / made to sell, but actually he sold him to keep the club alive.

Regardless of everything Haslam, truth is Jamie has a solid point whether you like to hear it or not.

Correct. I still feel a dick for feeling optimistic whilst it was going up but incredibly (although unsurprisingly) let down once it was finished. Have always hated the result, although hats off to Radders on his attempts at polishing the turd.
