If I won that £91m the other day I would buy pools and hand it over to the people that matter us! Set up the trust good and proper and become fans owned.

That's the only reason I do the lottery! If I won enough I'd buy the club but wouldn't just pump it all in, it wouldn't go far enough. I think a real fan owning would see a lot of the stay away poolies return and get local businesses on board but sadly never going to win thr lottery.

Yes but only if it was fans owned and all profits are reinvested into the team with the ambition of getting into the championship.

Will buy a ticket tonite.

If the club has been ran correctly and self sustaining, 10 million would be enough to see you for a number of years, inject 2 mill to get a decent squad, upgrade Millhouse seats or at least bastard steam clean them, upgrade the food units and buy pink strip with a black diagonal stripe!

Why on earth Pools dont have more food units and bars is beyond me. How much is a pint at Pools now about £2 dirt cheap, get more people in the group early sell good local scran put up tv's and bobs your uncle. Oh and drop the pay on day prizes. Also I think Pools are loosing a lot of revenue by not having good parking facilities. Do we or the council own the bit behind the players car park? If its Pools then tarmac the dam thing and charge between £3-5 to park there on match days. I honestly dont know what we pay RG for as all these things an idiot can work out (and just has!).

I remember back in the early 90's didnt we do kids for a quid? what happened to that idea? A bloke would be able to take his two kids and himself to the match for under £20 and kids always want scran and stuff in the club shop.

As Comp says, I imagine all kids expect feeding at footy matches.

Like when I went to the milhouse baths as a kid, a Highland Toffee bar was the least i expected afterwards.

Also is that Bo Selecta women with the tash still working on the bar at back of Town end? All of the staff in that place have two speeds slow and stop. The most efficient member of staff is the print out beer change calculator excel spreadsheet on the wall.

I wouldn't buy Pools, ever, but I would consider joining an intelligent consortium.
