    if this buy out is successful?

    Will the new owners still have to honour the price freeze on the low price tickets (one of the good things ash has done, that goes unmentioned)

    or will they want to charge a premium for their investments?

    I for one, wouldn't mind paying a little extra, but, seeing as gate receipts are almost seen as insignificant (in comparison to sponsorships and TV money) I'm guessing that not much will change.

    I think they'd have to honour it?

    It is still the club that have made that contract with those who have bought them and their buying the club.

    Was just going to say...I wouldn't object to paying a bit more.

    Tbf, it's one of the things Ashley deserves credit for, the season ticket price freeze.

    If this buyout is successful

    The optics would be bad for the new owners if they immediately increased ticket prices for travelling fans especially, can't see it.

    Mind, if this buyout is successful, if a website could spontaneously combust you'd do well to stay away from clowns 'r' us.

    Its natives are not happy...

    I had a quick look before. The post about this Staveley offer had over 600 posts when I´d only just heard about it.......but they´re not obsessed.

    Mixture of 'it'll never happen' or 'if it happens it'll be shit' through to the ones who are gutted it looks like we might be onto a good thing.

    Mind, if our positions were reversed and we were rock bottom of the Chimpo whilst they had a manager like Rafa and were going to be taken over with the potential of huge investment....I'd be gutted.

    My first year on the 10 year deal was the 2009/10 season in the Chimpo-so 2 years left after this season.
