So all these poor residents would have to change address for utility bills internet tv licence etc etc for one person dare I say the majority of them don’t even know who he is
At best I would think WFBC would be happy with a statue of JE either in Coronation Gardens or possibly outside the ground somewhere
Yes , point taken.
The whole of Oliver road would not have to have its name changed .
Specifically only the part of the road between windsor road & buckingham road need to be changed.
All oliver road numbers for residents remain the same .
The council would just have to notify the centre across the road & any tenants in The Stadium complex
No one else .
The Breyer Group Stadium
Justin Edingburgh Way E .10.
has a nice ring to it.
You do know the Score Centre is going to be bulldozed at some point for the new housing development right?
Perfect opportunity for a street to be named after JE

Spare a thought for Oliver, might have been named after that fine Mr Cromwell fellow who was born in my neck of the woods

Really? Shameful if that happens.
It’s already happening not sure when the building work starts though

Why? We have a housing crisis and people need places to live. Part of the redevelopment included improving the facilities at Ive Farm so that there is no net loss of sporting facilities.

Only 3,400 season tickets sold with a week to go.
Also, Nigel mentions incoming offers and doing what’s best for the club....sounds as if we’re being buttered up for something here.
What's best for the club and the fans is not to sell off our best players, it shows a total lack of ambition and is a kick in the teeth for all those who bought the early bird season tickets !!!
Nigel said there will be more players coming in, and some going out.
I take that to mean players like Bonne, Koroma, Happe etc, leaving
Hope not, but I'm certain some will leave

If Charlton want Bonne and have made a reasonable offer - not £200k! - then I'm pretty sure Macca would fancy his chances there and we'd send him on his way with our blessing.

Please don't concern yourself on my behalf buddy.
You are just one person, a tiny percentage of the fan base.
3400 might actually be about right once you strip out £9 phantom kids. Allows more actual ticket sales if we have big games...
Re Macaulay and Josh, would be sad to see either or both go, however the measure of a successful club is how good is our scouting and recruitment process. My worry is that it might be a bit shaky right now given the impact of the recent JE tragedy.

Perhaps when Bonne signed the extra years extension on his contract, it was agreed by both parties that any bid over £200,000 transfer could trigger a release clause. If true, a top forward for us being sold for what is nowadays, a very low transfer fee. I mean what can you get in a player nowadays for just £200,000 ?

If we sell, we sell. Travis made clear his ambitions are to see us back in L1 as soon as possible and to look towards the Championship - if we take a decent offer for one of our youth products along the way, that's part of making us a sustainable club once again. If any of the kids go, and it's not for dirt cheap, they should go with our blessing and we should chill out a bit.

Sure it's a bit on the low side but how much do people reckon he's worth?
I think Bonne is much at the same stage Andre Gray was when Luton sold him to Brentford. Similar age, unfinished product, unproven in the League with but in National League he scored 1 in 2 over 2 seasons for the biggest team at that level.
They got £600k plus a 25% sell-on, so I would be expecting similar. I think that is reasonable considering we haven't even factored inflation in (Gray deal was 2014).

£200,00 is a long way short of a decent offer, it's an insult !!!!
