    O/T There's money in them there lozenges!

    The town of Fleetwood and possible the football club is set to benefit from £41m left to them by the woman behind Fisherman's Friends.

    Anyone know if Rotherham/RUFC has any similar potential benefactors?

    Seem to recall he made some mega bucks from his involvement with the first group plc…also seem to recall he left before the proverbial hit the fan…

    Remember Craig saunderson (also short lived)fans board representative registered on here and came on here and asked for our views on thoughts on what they should better as a club /board…….it was quite a thread I almost felt sorry for the bloke in truth..it was like having joust only armed with a cocktail stick…


    Also if anyone see”s Peter r tell him I am still e
    waiting for my free pie and pint..

    Certainly not a windfall to be sniffed at.

    Fleetwood, basically a town that's Rotherham with a docks.

    Placed there to make Blackpool look like a nice place

    Chris Rea, the guy who owns AES Seal, is reportedly worth 160 million.

    The royalties from Driving Home For Christmas must be worth a few quid too
