Pete - you could have killed this circus an hour or so ago or at least slowed it down.

Bit irresponsible of you, personally.

Pete loves it - he can keep his cushy job if he can point to massive forum traffic... ;-)

How many giants?

[Pete Raven 276]

Not in the slightest. I passed on what we knew.

I''m not gutted at all, never get my hopes up now after last years RNS announcement lol.  However it is good news they have extended for another year.

Look on the bright side people, new directors should be coming in soon, and hopefully bring a little money with them, we have a bright, new and respected CEO, new players and a chance to build a team of our own and not loan players.

What an absolute load of crap. The thing that annoys me is that it says continue the "Succesful" Sponsorship deal. Since the name was on the shirt we have been the worst team I have ever seen in Yellow and Green.I actually had my hopes up Delia was F***ing off. Oh well another shit season beckons under her majesty the terrible!

My only complaint is it means the Aviva Lemur will be around another year :(

That was the most uninteresting goose chase I''ve ever been lead on. Cheers.

I''m no big fan of Aviva as a company but this could be viewed as a brave move on their part. Unless the club get promoted back to the Championship 12,000 season ticket holders sent a message suggesting that they may well not renew again. The result would be a disaster in terms of guarantees of future season ticket incomes committed to the bankers and Aviva may well find themsleves associated with a club in administration as a result of years of amateur mismanagement. Hardly the sort of thing with which one would think they would risk being associated. They had no need to make this announcement at all - so maybe they have knowledge that we don''t in terms of future investment and prospects.

A cynic may take the view that it is a "peanuts investment" for them, gives them a novelty place for entertaining and training and takes people''s minds off jobs going to India and Pinebanks being turned into lots of blocks of flats that the City doesn''t need.

It is actually good news, but as you say, it''s news that has been so hyped up that it''s a massive disappointment.
