Maybe Scally could sell the ground and they could groundshare at Falmer....we could be generous and just charge them for maybe the construction costs of one stand in return for 2 years rent?

I was thinking along the same lines!

Isn't that rather a rather insulting thing to say about our feathered friends ? Pikey is bird brained so you may have a point however.

He made his money in office supplies, dunno how rich he is but he aint short of a few bob thats for sure! I've been to his house, I thought we were pulling up outside a country hotel :eek:

Didnt he have a club or hotel as there was something about an ex wife, a singer, in the papers a couple of years ago about drugs or something sinister I can't remember the details but seem to remember them saying he owned a country club or hotel or similar.

His first wife was the daughter of an Ex Albion player and he supported BHA in the 60s.

Dont think he owned a hotel or a club, but his home used to be a small hotel and it was bloody huge! He married the his ex wife, the singer, in the grounds. She went to prison for the drugs thing.

So I am not completely senile. When there was all the things of 96/97 he came and saw me in my pub on his way to Goodwood races and told me about his 1st wife being the daughter of an Ex BHA player and that he supported them in the 60s but I cannot remember who the player was I think he was a reserve who played for the 1st team on a few occassions.

All I know about his first wife is that she is a private investigator or something like that!

If they are in financial trouble perhaps we could buy Darren Byfield cheap. I know they turned down £100k from Southend during the window but different times could bring different answers.

I believe Scally was always a Millwall fan but lost a child and decided to sell his business and run Gillingham to slow down a bit.
