The lease holders, Simon Gillett's merry band have gone bong.

No great surprise, they couldn't raise the ££££, and had no income from the cricuit as they'd dug part of it up.

Lets have a whip round and put a bid in 4D

Dont forget the fact that Tom Wheatcroft has also died, whichmeans it could be tied up in his estate for some time.

One wag this morning suggested that Bernie should come along with a few million to put it back to what it was - trouble is what would the conditions be?

I reckon Palmer will buy it

I would if I was him & had his ££££

[YMFB]

I dont suppose palmer has access to the £ right now either, banks are not likely to be helpful.

Point taken but for a bargain basement price & with their assets I reckon they could put a deal together - maybe a joint venture.....
