with regards the park ave bid and how they are getting there backing well apparently they dont normally do takeover bids but if they did it would probably be the best takeover bid in the world !!

so the old men at horsfall were saying a saturday anyway

I can imagine a big international brewer putting money into a soccer club, though I confess my first thoughts would be that it would be one with a slightly higher profile than a conference club, but the idea they would give them cash to finance the takeover of another club, in a different sport (and one unknown, AFAIK, in Denmark) does leave me somewhat open mouthed, I must say. Still as no-one is telling us anything we'll take what snippets we can get, I guess - however unlikely!!

Although Carlsberg do also own Tetleys who are involved in quite a bit of RU Sponsorship. Whether they're looking for some high profile RL sponsorship/ownership is anyone's guess!

An angle I hadn't considered.

Carslberg (via Tetley's) already sponsor us don't they - Tetley's Stand? It'll teach me to to think a little more laterally.

well, the giants have the john smiths stadium....
it could happen.
