  • And as we stand on the cusp of promotion to the Championship, let's not forget how far we've come. I posted this on Facebook three years ago today...

  • There was a guy at the club who was very helpful. Told him the name I was looking for and he looked through the bricks with me. As it happened, I found it myself. Don’t know his name but he was everyt

I can’t see hat happening due to they wanted the Hotel with the club, just the club wasn’t a option when FV bought.   May be wrong, but I remember this bit.

They did, but we dont know why

I guarantee theyll have their idea of its  ( potential) worth and if somebody offers daft money, theyll get shut

Weren't they sorted a while back?

Or are there other ones?

What was sorted I think was an agreed schedule of how to repay, this could be cash to fund that, but equally might be totally separate 

On the hotel I think there is potential for a bigger chain to get involved even if it is only a partial take over, it is cheaper to market and maintain 10 hotels in a group than it is to run 10 stand alone so might be just better economically.

All guesswork !

I read something, quite separately, about a proper hotel company looking to buy ours. That'll be full circle.

Yeah, think Nixon wrote something in his weekly column in the Sun about the hotel possibly being sold.

So they bought a sellable asset. Unusual? Not really.

Sounds like great news, great brand and just what the stadium, club & town needs.

Is it any more impressive than DeVeers? I’m just not sure what plans Radisson has that DeVeer failed to capitalise on. There must’ve been a reason for a major hotelier to cut ties. We await the first move.

Does this new deal mean Bolton won't lose at Accrington Stanley next time, even if its raining hard?

It’s great news a major premium hotel  group are taking it over, they are top level operator of hotels and will be investing and upgrading the facility one that has become tired and was on  a downward spiral, hopefully the gym and pool area can be reopened and possibly a Spa, 

De Vere, never stayed in one, not an internationally known business. Any other international travellers ever been to one? Hilton, Marriott, Radisson, top tier.

Absolutely agree. Not many better names we could have had associated with the hotel really. A real coup this is. 
 

another tick in the box for FV

Looking at the way Radisson Individuals seem to operate, I wouldn’t be expecting much of a rebrand really and they’re more in a position of support, something that will be a huge bonus from a maintenance point of view etc, sharing resources rather than forking out as a stand alone. You’d expect they’ll want to maintain high standards though so would hope for at least a freshening of the place. 

DeVere got shut of a number of hotels at the time they binned Bolton off. 

Radisson is, as Carlos says, top level shit. 

Expect £5 pints on Saturday. 

Be nice to see what kind of renovations they do

Great news, I love price cuts.

Will this mean smartly dressed security bods when yoof turn up with their "white army" goading of a dozen scarfers at the end of games?

Unibol "kingsmen".
