General Consortium Takeover - News and Rumours

[The mighty Aldo]

Those of us who have been supporting this club for 50 plus years and I think that must include Colin and Bazzer should maybe take a step back and look at the past
We have seen it all but the difference back then even when OGB took over was the place to voice our opinions was at the matches or in the bar afterwards not on forums such as this
The previous owners of this mighty club have always held their cards close to their chests and fed us what they wanted us to hear.
These days everyone wants instant access on everything in life and most times you can get it so on this issue of the takeover people can’t understand why it’s taking so long hence the frustration
Let’s see how it pans out and I’m sure as we all hope we see our club really thrive.
Then Bazzer can buy Colin a beer or vice versa

Very well said. But more to the point what's your favourite 80s car?

Don't know about cars, but I love an 8oz ribeye

Here's to hoping Bakrie and Co 'steer' us in the right direction

More usually seen being ragged through the Leys, back in the day (not normally by their owners though...)

And what's your opinion on quince?

 

[Sheik djibouti]

Personally I'm a fan of the Austin Quince.

Thankfully that never happened to mine. Mind i did lose the ignition key once and it was so easy to take the ignition barrel off and start it with a flat bladed screwdriver

Flat head screwdriver use to open most Ford cars and vans back in the 80s. That and a wire coat hanger was the theifs tools.

Ah but up goes the cry from Bazzer and GUK

Half a tennis ball on the Fords with central locking.

I always thought that was an urban myth....never tried it on my 87 Escort and now wish I had

I remember my dad having a go at some boyracer in a marina in the early 90s .He was trying to do a handbrake turn in peachcroft shops carpark, which he failed at so instead insisted in wheelspinning and slamming on the anchors locking up the wheels, near on ended up going through blockbusters front doors lol.

 

[Pompeyyellows]

you can tell when there are no rumours or news, we start reminiscing about old cars lol

"Ah excellent!" I exclaimed to myself. "5 new pages, something interesting must've happened"

Nope. I did, however, become 13% dumber after reading those 5 pages. Thank you, Yellows Forum, thank you

My mate's brand spanking G-reg XR3i convertible was done, you could see the neat dent around the lock when it was recovered.
