Saw this on the bbc website. Someone on here must be able to shed some light.

Seems they're taking it to auction which seems a good idea, with the proceeds set to go to hopefully a charitable good cause. Not sure what figure it could feasibly reach but would estimate a potential four figure sum for the more enthusiastic of purchasers.

Apologize if this reiterates old news but had a view of the teams BBC Sports page and it was main item today. Believe no mention of said auction was present in the initial thread. Don't know what venue they'll stage the sale at, possibly within the club vicinity itself. (Sothebys or Christie's would seem a little fanciful for a project of this nature)

"The sign advertises an online fan forum, but attempts by the BBC to contact those behind the site have proved unsuccessful."

Lovely little bit from the article.

Can't have tried that hard - all they have to do is log onto the site and join up if they really wanted to make contact by just clicking on the link to the forum at the bottom of the article!!

Not only have they ignored my emails. But have not returned my calls either. Got the feeling they are intent on an auction. Hoping they use ebay.......Spoke to Ferdie our FC Fortuna supporter who could have got it into the FC Fortuna football museum
