FFC getting some love

[YoungsBitter]

This has been a week of lots of mentions in the Grauniad for FFC with our former players doing well, Roberts and Dembele both featured strongly in the Celtic draw with Citeh and Kostas Stafylides ( yes him) made the Bundesliga Team of the week.
Roberts gave a detailed interview:

Ross McCormack's move at center of Cellino getting 18 month ban

And finally our new gin bar makes the Fiver:
QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Formed in 1879, Fulham FC is London's oldest professional football club and the first to open a bespoke gin bar ... The Clubhouse provides a hub for gin fans to gather at London's original football club, enjoy each other's company – and to celebrate gin!" – Fulham there, lifting The Fiver's bespoke Tin bar concept – a place to celebrate Tin.
Who says we never get any press coverage!

Hey YB.  Apologies for going off topic but I had a couple of pints today & they were poor, both the Bitter & the Winter Warmer.  Has the change of water following the brewery move altered the taste?

Funny you should say that SP. Its like youngs only different . The barman said it was the move to pastures new and different water.

I actually worked with the guy that made that whole deal happen, he was CFO at Wells and now for his hard work is CEO of the combined business, so "boy done well" as they say. The land the brewery sat on was worth more than the business, if redeveloped and Wells had an ability to brew way more beer than they were doing. So it was a marriage made in heaven for everyone, except for the beer purists. I would argue Youngs was never as good as Fullers and to me it tastes pretty average still, with Bedfordshire water or London water. But it used to be what I drank pre-game when I had season tickets, hence the monikor....

Did I see a figure of £80m mentioned for the land sale?
