Investment

[Draytonian III]

Just listened to it again. 100 % talking about Rovers.

Very interesting this, it's certainly got legs, given its been rumoured for a while now.

Might also explain why the season tickets have gone on sale much earlier than usual.

For me, any takeover is very much welcome.

Season tickets on sale much earlier than usual, are sure of that, I thought they went on sale roughly the same time last year

[turnbull for england]

Was I hearing things tonight on Radio Sheffield when they said there was interested PARTIES and they half expected something to have been done in January.

It's just a rumour, nothing in it at all.

With respect, why would you know ?

With respect, after only being on forum a fortnight maybe you aren't the club expert just yet

[WantleyDragon]

What's posting on this forum got to do with being an expert on the club ?

They went on sale in June last year

Well just like the VSC, which I’m a member like many, the Shadow Board would also be told of any such developments. There are NONE.
Hope that clarifies. Regards.DD

I bought my season ticket 10th march last year.

[Draytonian III]

I’ve just checked my on line bank statement and I paid Doncaster Rovers a three figure sum of money on the 22nd of February 2022, not exactly June

[roversdude]

That doesn’t fit the agenda though

Stand corrected, think it was the year before I was thinking

[drfchound]

Season ticket sales have started in February for the last few years.

[WantleyDragon]

Not that it matters

Ah yes, the post covid one.
Well remembered.

[roversdude]

Because of covid and nobody knew if we were allowed to watch football

[Dagenham Rover]

I took the Radio Sheffield bit as investment not a takeover

[WantleyDragon]

We'll know soon enough if it's a buy out or investment.

But I doubt it's further investment, knowing this board and how they do things.

How will we know soon enough?

Or if theres anything there at all?

[silent majority]

Was I hearing things tonight on Radio Sheffield when they said there was interested PARTIES and they half expected something to have been done in January.

It's just a rumour, nothing in it at all.

With respect, why would you know ?

Strangely enough it is quite normal for a club to discuss ownership issues with it's supporters trust after all that's why the trust exists.

But throw in a signed MOU between both parties,

and the change in FA rules on Fan Engagement,

and the EFL rules on Fan Engagement,

and the upcoming appointment of a independent regulator along with changes in licensing and fan engagement,

and the relationship built between the VSC and the club when rolling out IRWT,

and the fact the VSC is a shareholder in DRFC

and the fact that we have  a great relationship with the CEO and  other senior people at the club,

I can't think of a single reason why the club would keep us informed.

I'm beginning to wonder where you do your shopping, a cheap supermarket perhaps mmm!

Not sure what you mean.
But the current regime won't he around forever.
Hence 'soon enough'

OK Martin, thankyou for your reply.
But next time maybe drop the sarcasm eh ?

Of course we will know soon enough, that's how time works. It's linear, it moves forward

There is no buy out or investment. And then you go on to claim to know stuff!!

[anton123]

Eco power group has had 2 bids rejected to join the board and invest but not to fully buy the club

And there have also been unfounded rumours that they paid the wage bill before Christmas and that the club would be in Administration by now.

Probably best to take these things with a large pinch of salt.

They never went on sale this time last year, because we were unsur what division we would end up in, the club know now that we will either stay in L2 or a bonus to them if we go to the Conference

They went on sale in February last year, when it was still possible (however unlikely/undeserved) that we would be in League One this season.

You have done research on this I assume?

Or is it a rumour circulated amongst the gullible?

[Welling Rover]

Paid for my season ticket on 19th February last year

Unless you have verified evidence of the above statement i'd suggest you don't post this as fact, it tends to upset the natives and sets people off in all sorts of weird directions which then winds up others. Unnecessary.

Maybe I'm just wary of someone who just joined and questioned why SM would know about investment but then know enough to refer to  Martin by name a touch further down the thread
