Is it entirely necessary to post your prophecies of doom and gloom on every thread that attempts to look forward? You may have a suicide pact down at PO Road, but we're not quite there yet.



I'm a naturally optimistic person, but you're starting to test my patience.

Wow, I'm testing your patience???

So let me get this straight. It's an open forum, free for all to contribute - within the rules??? But I can only post as Bren2K wishes me to???



Aye, owt tha sez!!

Big daft nursey character!!!

No, you're free to post what you like. Equally, I'm free to retort, which I've just done.



With hindsight, perhaps "testing my patience" was the wrong expression; I meant to say that you're eroding my natural sense of optimism with your relentless negativity.



In short - cheer up, misery guts.

You're not from New York City?

Be pleased to do just that!!



- see, smiley things!!

I'm a bit old for that crew, but good nonetheless!!

To bring this back in topic and to be a little more serious I suspect this is more to do with protecting the staff, both morally and legally if the news is indeed bad as everyone is predicting!



The majority of those staff will be out of a job and I suspect that all of the staff will arrive in on Wednesday morning to a letter informing them that they will be put under immediate consultation for redundancy.



This is another harsh reality of franchising!

yes either way it will be a new dawn,



out and we rebuild stay in and we grow stronger

Conversely Cas are opening up the doors at 10am so fans can watch the announcement.
