adamoafc Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Basics are we have 31 more years on our lease so we’re not going anywhere. Could be an interesting couple of months especially with the fact our sponsorship with sports direct runs out in a few months aswell.

Latics safe and secure at BP, and on a sound financial footing. It’s a long term plan though, this is the first part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, I don't think it lasts 31 more years, I think it lasts until 2031 (IIRC) so 12 more years.

Although implied, I cannot find anywhere that extends it beyond 2031 officially. May be the case of course, but so far not provable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don’t have anything concrete I can share. I have been told largely in riddles by someone who I believe is actually in the know who is an aquatance of mine that there is a long term plan by a group of people (some actual fans, some friends and business partners of theirs) to run the club ‘properly’. They have been very concerned by goings on at the club for the last year or so if you catch my drift. I should point out that I don’t believe that it’s anyone that has been involved with the ownership of the club previously. I am largely joining dots, but the announcement would seem to fit with what was hinted to me some months ago. I guess we just need to watch this space.

It all seems a bit weird that the landlords think this but forget the money they've had out of the club and its land already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[upboat] Just as a slight addition, the original intention of the North Stand was to provide the club with a revenue stream outside of just matchdays, and help it to become sustainable. My understanding is that the people involved (and again I genuinely don’t know who they are) believe this is very much achievable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
