Some fans are stating the fact that Travis will stay on, after the new owners buy the club, mitigates any worries they may have about the new owners taking the club in the wrong direction.

After Hearn sold to the Italian, Mathew Porter stayed on, and then soon after they got rid of him, and proceeded to screw the club over.

The new owners may be wonderful, and the club will move on seamlessly, but they also may not be wonderful

What happened a decade or so ago, makes me a little nervous

Yep.

It’s amazing that some people seem to have forgotten what happened just 10 years ago.

Sorry, 11 years ago - in before I’m taken to task for being overly dramatic.

I am sure some fellow boarders remember when Bazza tried to change the run-out tune.
And it’s Herb Alpert’s 90th on Monday
I didn’t realise he was still alive. I will get a video of him performing TT on Utube on Monday and listen to it in his honour. 😀
