There's a rumour going round here that we are about to get new owners. Iv'e not heard the full story yet, but should get all the details at a sportmsans dinner i'm going to tomorrow night.

What iv'e heard so far is that an oil company are going to take over pools from their sister company and an announcement can be expected as early as next week.

LOG.

Is it 1997 again, I hope not, I can't go through Lady Di, the peoples princess, she was one of us, fundral again

Load Of Gollocks?

What a load of shiite remember when Sir Harold Hornsey owned pools and it was rumoured an oil company was going to buy pools.

Unfortunately I won't be able to comment any more on this. Within 30 mins of posting the original message I received a text message basically telling me to wind my neck in.

Like I said its just a rumour at this point, time will tell if anything comes from it.

Is Uncle Ken sending Chris Turner round to "have a word" then?

He'd probably cry...

I was unawae there were dark forces reading this messageboard.

Any news yet?

Its definately happening.

IOR will be stepping aside and one of their sister companies will be taking over. Whether this is DNO or Larsen Oil & Gas or some other one, i really don't know but it will be announced soon.

So I am led to believe.
