REE' ORL ABAHT IT!!

SCOOP !!  FROM OUR ROVING CORRESPONDENT.

IT had to happen. We told you they were skint.  Whispers Developments, non-re-developers of Royton Assembly Hall, and the favourite company of Jimmy Pudden Face and Counc Gushforth, have gone into liquidation. Below is the official notice filed today. By jove! I do believe this to be a scoop for BB as neither of our two 'news'- papers, The Advertiser nor The Oldham Lie-bour Chronicle, seem to have picked up on the story.  Yeah!!!!

 Company In Liquidation  

So, we ain't gonna get the £6900 Whispers owed in unpaid fines and costs. We are gonna miss out on the magnificent spectacle of the two tater-brains pursuing Whispers through the courts again. NOW what will happen to the project?  If OMBC still had the £215,000 they got for selling off another bit of the family silver, they could buy it back off the liquidator and we could start the whole process over again. Unfortunately the cash has gone, invested, short term, in councillors allowances and jollies.

Would a new developer be interested in re-starting this project? What looked fairly viable ten years ago must look a big risk in the current economic climate. OMBC can't want to get involved again. They washed their collective sticky fingers of  it ten years ago.

What OMBC should do is buy back the site and employ one of Oldham's famous mosque architects to rebuild it. That way we would get a building twice the size for the same price. Mind you, there would only be a one month warranty on the job and the building would be built in six or seven different styles, with different building materials on each side.

Latest score in the long running fiasco:      

WHISPERS  8                                           OMBC  0

                         89th min         OMBC  o.g.

                         90th min         Penalty

EXTRA TIME WILL BE PLAYED
