Blitz QA. 1/16 Why have you agreed to do this?
A) because a lot of statements were coming out of the club which were 99.9% untrue
#oafc
Blitz QA. 2/16 Can you explain the history of the club not owning the stadium
A) the club have not owned the stadium since pre-Moore. We bought the club out of admin, then paid for the stadium & the unpaid rent for £4.6 million & brass bank has owned it ever since.
#oafc
Blitz QA. 3/16 What did Lemsagam buy?

A) the club (membership to football league) and a lease meant to pay rent. I think Oldham council own Chapel Road.

Blitz has not owned shares in the club since 2004. Corney owned the club
#oafc
Blitz QA 4/16. Are the 3 amigos responsible for the demise? Blitz and Gazelle not been there for years. It was in League one when Simon Corney sold the club.
Blitz QA 5/16., What are the share holdings?

I'm led to belive Simon Corny owns 22% trust 3 Abdallah the rest
Blitz QA. 6/16 Do you believe the club and assets should be under one ownership? Yes or stadium by FLG which is his preference
#oafc
Blitz QA 7/16 If push comes to shove and Al doesn't talk. Blitz could put the club in admin and sell it to the FLG for £1. Blitz still paying the shortfall on OEC bills. #oafc
Blitz QA Blitz was celebrating on the pitch with AL at Fulham.

He met AL the night before. His son said to AL we're going to win tomorrow. AL said if we win you can come on the pitch after and dressing room. AL kept his word
#OAFC
Blitz QA I will not build houses on the stadium. I want football played here . #oafc
Blitz QA Club has been given notice on little Wembley which has recently expired. Houses will be built on it. Club has no lease on Little Wembley. Blitz has just let them use it #oafc
Blitz QA Did you offer the stadium to AL to buy? Yes.
So he must have known he didn't own it.
#oafc
Blitz QA Blitz has put 14 million into the club. 4.3M into the North stand
#oafc
Blitz QA Blitz only wants the money he spent on the stadium and car park. Then rest (almost £10M) he's letting go
#oafc
Blitz QA The club was making somewhere in the 100k from the boxes etc. Club claim they were not making any money but thats because they sold the boxes at start of aeason
#oafc
Blitz QA How worried are you that they reported you to the police?

I'm not worried at all, the only reason was to bully me from being here
#oafc
Blitz QA There are people on the board today who know full well what happened when we did the original transaction.
Q, Was Barry Owen involved in all the meetings at the time?
-Yes
#oafc
Blitz QA AL wanted to buy the North Stand for £2.2M. But not in Blitz interest to sell for that price when it cost almost 3 times that to build
#oafc
Blitz QA FLG want to buy stadium & car park. They do need investors. When they came to Blitz a year ago there was no intention of pushing out AL, but just so we don't have a situation like Bury.
#oafc
Blitz QA
Blitz offered a figure to pay him over 4 years by FLG each month. No interest. Whatever we can do that will help the fans own it, we can help.
#oafc
Blitz QA
Either AL knew exactly what he was buying or his advisers did. He has nothing bad to say about AL personally. Come and talk.
#oafc
Blitz QA FLG is literally a fan led group. No one fan would be allowed to own more than 12%. Fans putting in month by month over 4 years what they could afford.
#oafc
Blitz QA £1.785M was the total money from gov/council for the North stand. 700K was a grant, the rest componsation to Lancaster Club for messing about. All was put into building the stand
#oafc
Blitz QA If anyone has more questions. Blitz is willing to answer. He has nothing to hide.
#oafc
Blitz QA the club owes BB £166K in back rent and 300K that AL agreed to pay in two installments when he bought the club, but has not paid.
#oafc
Blitz QA Corney asked Blitz to put the stadium up as collateral for a loan from outside co. Blitz refused but lent the £520k himself on the same terms that in case of creditors he's paid 1st. When AL bought from Corney, AL paid £220k agreed to pay the 300k later but has not
#Oafc
Blitz QA Overall Blitz came across very well. Had a lawyer with him making sure he said nothing wrong. Was very charitable to AL who is shooting himself on the foot
