    Is rufc really a club that no one would buy

    People on here go on about who would want to buy lonely rufc.

    But let's look at it.

    I'm not talking Arab money because that buys most problems.

    The club has very little debt thanks to Tony Stewart.

    The town centre is a dive.

    Has a newish stadium with capacity to extend (but the club doesn't own)

    Has been a top 1 league club that gets promotion but hasn't got the funds to kick on from there.

    People go on about but the money will only bring mercenaries that don't care about the club.

    Viktor is a rarel case and the club in the past has had them and look at some off the players now.

    If they had stayed injury free etc etc you think they would be with us now??

    We are what we are and Tony Stewart has saved the club and cares about it.


    But are we really that undesirable if put up for sale??

    Not at all.
    I would imagine it’s whether Mr.Stewart wants to sell or not.
    That’s it in a nutshell really.

    I guess it depends on if there are any more Hollywood types out there looking to make a docuseries. We certainly don't look an attractive proposition (sportingly, geographically or financially profitable) to anyone who has no ties to the town so unless someone sees us as an avenue to Premiership riches I can't see anyone buying us.

    Let me throw it out to ‘local’ folk.

    If you win £100 million on the lottery, would you seriously look at getting involved at RUFC?

    Would you approach TS looking to buy in with him?
