Muck and brass

Looks like the rain may have held off from Edgeley Park in the last day or two and confidence oop north is growing that they can get the game on. Things must be desperate for Stockport with this pitch because they have taken the decision to re-lay much of it next week. I guess with gate revenue being critical, the last thing they want is postponed revenue-generating matches for the football and Sale rugby, especially when they are under pressure to play their twice postponed F A Cup tie with Torquay at Macclesfield now.

It seems like the latest takeover rumour about Gold and Sullivan is maturing. The Telegraph did a piece yesterday which Chicago Addick summarises perfectly here. I think I have already said that the financial stability and relative ambition of Gold and Sullivan must be seen as beneficial when compared to the alternatives; doing nothing looks like it will see us continue to whither on the vine and there are plenty of potential buyers out there without the nouse or backing of the Davids. I have to say though, that if the Telegraph story is accurate, I feel like a proud father whose only daughter has become engaged to a man who was rejected by his true love. That doesn't settle well with the soul and will seed doubts over their motives for the future.
