No, no where near enough to help massively for long. Would do some form of sponsorship though. And maybe get an exec box, drinks with a few on here May be interesting (Billy you would get an invite!)

Nowt personal Ldr,  but I'd rather stand in the Weir of Piss on the old Pop Side than ever watch a game from a box.

Nope. End of BV Days. When there was the Portakabin shitter with the leaking pipes at the Away End end of the Pop.

To give this some context, according to the Times rich list TB is worth £425 m.

I suppose being a sponsor is the easier option.

You could see if you could join the board. More expensive but you'd get more of a say in how the club is run. And greater opportunities to spend more of your not very hard earned cash!

No, why spend significant sums of money and get nothing but abuse for it, no thanks.

Erm, i don't know but i would say enough to get in get it started and get out when you sell out to the Arabs !

Might not last long but the ride would be something else. probably the only chance this club would ever have of getting a smell of the top table.

WE could do the small club with good sustainability after the event.

I’d never buy a footy club outright. Unless it was minor non league perhaps.
I would invest a bit though in Rovers.  I’d want a lifetime box perhaps too for family and friends.
I’d probably start up a craft beer brewery. One of my passions is real ale.
And probably start up a pub or two. Supplying my beer. As they are in decline and have been for years.
Talking of which , what happened to the Toad brewery?  I used to love popping in there on match days.

I heard that he went bankrupt and took it really badly.
I used to love going there before games.
