The first buyer was that close that staff were measuring up for new carpet, furniture etc.

The 25 million came from Townsend's desire to make that standard for new licenses and this flowed onto clubs for sale like us and Perth.

We are not valued by the APL. Everyone at the club has done what they can and cannot be criticised and that includes Shane, who has to make a silk purse out if a sow's ear.

Personally, I have pulled a minor sponsorship for this reason. Not looking good.
