Only thing we have in common with Newcastle is our local rivals play in Red and white, and are shite..

 

[Fred]

Its amazing how little we here about the Country considering population of 273 million! (uk 68m)

 

[Tomox]

hmmm interesting...I'd love to think it would be something more than just the usual 'we're exploring all the options and working hard' (not being cynical here and understand why they've being saying this) but I find that hard to believe at this stage.

I guess how much Bakrie gives away tomorrow will be a good indicator of how far they've come.

 

[Fred]

To be very optimistic could we achieve what Brighton have done in the last 15 years? i know they are a bigger city but we are in the middle of the country which can be an advantage.

Yes. There is absolutely no reason why we can’t look at Brighton and Brentford as examples to follow!

Andy Thomas as well I believe had some time there.

 

[Yellowinthesticks]

Andy Woodman was goalkeeper coach there for a while. His son Freddie still there of course too.

Andy Thomas as well I believe had some time there.

Arthur cox bought him I believe because he said he kept scoring against Newcastle

 

[bazzer9461]

What time did they say that the interview would happen?

It's all relative - but I certainly wouldn't start digging too deeply into their record on human rights.

I think a few on here would happily see us taken over by the Taliban if it meant we could move away from the Kassam!

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

I too am expecting an update along the lines that Bakrie is working hard to agree terms on the takeover and he has started initial investigation into a new stadium with the local councils so he can move quickly when he does takeover.

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

Thohir is in the UK too at the moment albeit in Glasgow at COP as part of the Indonesian delegation.

 

[OX14]

So is the announcement today or tomorrow on radio oxford?

 

[Fred]

What time did they say that the interview would happen?

I don't think Radio Oxford said, 7.30am as a guess?
