Hang on, as I said in my very first post, the title was a bit tongue in cheek - maybe a bit too provocative, but I am genuinely interested in peoples opinions of this story.

Speaking as a lifelong Ravens fan I am very pleased to have got the BF back - but speaking as a Crusaders fan I am a little sceptical as to LS motives - to be blunt I dont trust him.

The demise of the Warriors left him with a very underused asset in the BF, and it was a stroke of genius to fill the ground again via Superleague. But now that he has managed to offload the BF, and recover another 500k of cash I think that he will now move on.

'when my life is over, the thing which will have given me greatest pride is that I was first to plunge into the sea, swimming freely underwater without any connection to the terrestrial world' Yves Le Prieur, the real inventor of the aqualung:



Quote: smwrff "Ok - a bit tongue in cheek -

But Brewery Field is no longer owned by CC - they have sold ground back to Bridgend Ravens RFC and Bridgend Town AFC and are now their tenants.

Implications??'"


How many clubs actually own their grounds anyway, these don't

Hull KR
Hull FC
Hudds
Wigan
Quins
Cats

Not sure about the rest, but its no bar to success is it.

I think that actuall mr Samuels Firm Dekor owned the lease (may be talkin out of my a**e here) so would imagine they get the money and thats prob why its been donr Dekor cant be exactlly raking it in in this current economic climate in fact I think they did a lot of stuff for MFI and now they gone i would imagine that 500K wil come in very handy for running a plc

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



Very strange

A long term lease on a prime town centre site is worth a lot more than half a million

Always get a bite in the right plaice. Never complain about another guests attitude at a mutual friends BBQ the day after the event and then be told by that host that its your own attitude that stinks. Be man enough to complain on the day !!!!:



The downside means that both a football club and rugby union will be making decisions from everything from rent, marketing and advertising revenue down to who plays when should fixtures coincide.

Hull and Wigan are aware of these pitfalls. Good Luck.

well if they want to off the only tenant getting 5kplus crowds whilst their own range from 500-1500 then good luck to them.

Does not play well with others.... Sorry:44629.jpg



So I see Smurf, under a thinly disguised pseudonym has been spreading his mischief here too eh?

This was a deal that all parties hailed as a good one. I won't go into the nitty gritty here, but the Cru have a guarantee of 5 years rent-free playing at the BF. The Cru will fix up the old place in lieu of payment and bar profits go to the stadium company.

In 3 years we will all (Cru, Ravens & Bridge FC) be moving to the new sports village to be built at Island Farm - a place with its own history as a POW camp in WWII for the highest ranking German prisoners.

Firefly half - Smwrff is not a pseudonym, but a Welsh spelling of my usual name - Smurf - which I can not register on this site as someone has already taken it (probably me!!).

If you want to take every one of my posts as negative - so be it - but the records dont show it.

I prefer RU to RL but am fully behind the Crusaders and am as disappointed bout tonights result as you!!
