Looks like the winding-up order will be heard on 20th March.
Without the freehold (owned by Hearn, I think?) you'd be mad.
Hearing fixed for 20 Mar, the optimistic noises about sorting it out by Wednesday have,as is often the case in this sort of situation, proved premature.
On the other hand, Exeter City didn't (doesn't) own the freehold of the Club ground, and St James Centre is owned by OTR, yet a group of fans decided to purchase the shell of what was left without actually knowing what the debt that would be incurred was. I'm sure that Barry Hearn operates a very different business model to the one that was offered to the Exeter Trust by the departing trio, but collective football fans have a different kind of passion and allegiance to Clubs that is often overlooked by "owners".
Talk Sport is the right place to report what is 'all talk and no action' from the owners.
