Quote: RoughyedWatcher "In reply to whoever it was that asked was it Oldham Bears that played in the WCC. Yes it was. They were one of only two or three British clubs who actually won a game against Australian opposition.'"

What a night that was. Happier days.

kcab sfrawdder Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg



Quote: Marsdengiant "Does everybody know that? Are you speaking on 'everybody's behalf'? How thrilling.

I will not be so arrogant to claim I speak on everybody's behalf. I do know that wealthy backers can support favoured clubs through private sources and / or their corporate interests. That some sponsors may exert significant influence on an organisation while some benefactors do not want such an influence. Also that many wealthy backers / supporters of clubs do not have or expect 'total control'. It is a little bit more complex than some would pretend.

I am delighted that Bramley's 'ownership experiment' has been handed a lifeline by a private business concern and its profits.

I gree on both counts

In my view big money backers, do not go into these ventures to provide money without clauses. most invest money into the clubs as directors loans and do expect a return if the club becomes more successful. I suspect that this is what happened at oldham and also suspect that the vast majority of outstanding debts at Oldham will now be owed to Bill Quinn the recently departed "sugar daddy".

totally untrue. You wil get better returns on your money by keeping it under the bed than putting it into a RL club. The overwhelming majority of shareholders / directors / owners are ikely to know this.
