We were definitely finished then no doubt about that. A dungeon club with a delapid ground and going no where fast.
Of course there are theories like he was going to sell the ground and move us to another place. The move away would have killed us no doubt but the main prize was the land called Ninian Park. Just makes you wonder who Langston are.
Interesting you say the council stepped in. They could have gained handsomely on this deal. Makes me wonder what they would have done when the tax man was about and if there was no Tan on the scene.
