    Think back to when Mr Stewart saved the club(Cos that`s what he did),we had very few options,a ground and training ground owned by a previous owner who didn`t give 2 sh*ts for the situation we were in,and just wanted to fleece the club for as much money as possible.
    Tony Stewart told him to f8ck right off(I`m paraphrasing here),and somehow,after 4 years we ended with a brilliant new stadium right in the town,but with no where of our own to train,not ideal.
    So we cut a deal with another local football club to use their facilities,which at the time seemed like a decent deal,however as it turns out these facilities aren`t really good enough for a league 1 club,let alone one which wants to be a Championship club,so we are bit stuck,there`s only so much you can do with someone else`s land,so what do we do ?
    TS bought some land years ago in Tinsley which I believe was to be our new training ground,what the hell happened to that,has that been blocked....did he never buy it.....summat else?
    It`s plain Mr Stewart has probably had enough of this football club mullarky,who can blame him,so we need new owners,or at least some outside investment,there always seems to be plenty of foreigners wanting a piece of English football,so where`s our Yank saviour ?

    It actually sounds like the training ground facilities were not even good enough for a national league team when we were playing in the championship.

    In the not too distant future this chairman will probably not give 2 sh*TS for our situation just like the last one and we will not own our ground just like last time.

    I bet that if his other company needed to by a lathe at ?2m to compete he would invest!

    I don?t like the man but I am grateful
