Whatever, but somehow I don't think so. These are Americans for goodness sake. They know nothing about history.
Alan Pace is also amongst the directors of ALK Capital Limited, incorporated on 15 September 2020.claretgilly wrote: ↑Thu Oct 01, 2020 3:36 pmA company called Calder Vale Holdings Limited has just been registered on Companies House, Alan Pace among the directors. Suspect the deal is quite close to completing.

Setting up a company is very cheap and very straightforward so although it may indicate things are moving it's also easy enough to do just in case.onewillieirvine wrote: ↑Thu Oct 01, 2020 4:06 pmClaretgilly - Would you have any idea how long companies would normally be registered, before any takeover occurs please?
This. Not strange at all.Claretnick wrote: ↑Thu Oct 01, 2020 4:32 pmBurnley RFUC used to be known as Calder Vale RUFC and Burnley FC started out as a rugby club known as Burnley Rovers!!!. The football club started playing at Calder Vale until moving too Turf Moor.
I know it's a different sport but that's the only connection I could think of.
I type too slow...

There are still things you can do with minority shareholdings but ultimately if someone has a majority then the influence for the other shareholders is limited (unless there is some further private shareholders agreement). Those shares do still have a value though and there are various reasons for wanting more than a simple majority.
Yes, of course you knew the historyGordaleman wrote: ↑Thu Oct 01, 2020 4:21 pmIf it's linked to the BFC takeover, then it's a strange name to choose. Calder Vale is in the west of the Forest of Bowland and the only local connection I know of is the Calder River.
Yes, the mill which stood exactly where The Range is now was Calder Vale Mill, but the original Calder Vale ground which BFC initially inhabited was close by on the other side of the railway viaduct, on ground to the rear of the present college.
You should be more careful before you post. Saying such things can be insulting to others, including American fans of our own club.Gordaleman wrote: ↑Thu Oct 01, 2020 4:38 pmWhatever, but somehow I don't think so. These are Americans for goodness sake. They know nothing about history.
I just said that it was a strange name to use. I didn't say it was impossible.

Of course you do, but you couldn't think of one link to the name Calder ValeGordaleman wrote: ↑Thu Oct 01, 2020 6:15 pmI think I know a bit about Burnley having watched them for 68 years, but as you always seem to look for the negatives in people's posts, I'm not at all surprised at your comments.
Don't get "hung up" on the timing of creating a company. It could very well be one of the small final details. The big issues are agreement between seller and buyer - and the ability of the buyer to raise the finance they require to complete the transaction and start to execute their plans.Boss Hogg wrote: ↑Thu Oct 01, 2020 6:53 pmIf a UK company has only just been registered and this is going to be the acquisition company ( it may not be) I think this deal could be a way off yet. The Hunter Bright Group look for growth projects with future cash flow potential according to some information I read. I think this will be anything other than a benefactor and very much about the returns made.
Yes, I know, but it's not the sort of name that I would expect a modern progressive company would be expected to use.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Thu Oct 01, 2020 6:55 pmCalder Vale is where we played before moving to the Turf
Don't be daft. Far worse things have been said about the people involved with ALK. I don't recall you having a go at them.superdimitri wrote: ↑Thu Oct 01, 2020 6:32 pmYou should be more careful before you post. Saying such things can be insulting to others, including American fans of our own club.
Also, don't get hung up on the name, it could be anything - and can be changed as quickly and frequently as the directors wish.Gordaleman wrote: ↑Thu Oct 01, 2020 7:05 pmYes, I know, but it's not the sort of name that I would expect a modern progressive company would be expected to use.
This has been addressed earlier Tony. Perhaps read earlier posts before repeating what's already been said.

Hi Boss, you know that's not correct. Europeans may have found out how to get to Americas in 1492. However, there were already a lot of people living there. I don't think any of them were saying "I can't wait to be discovered."

"Who knows, maybe this will be their plan, perhaps actually in the Calder Valley"CrosspoolClarets wrote: ↑Thu Oct 01, 2020 8:22 pmWith interest rates at unprecedented low levels, I would be interested to see a business case about a new stadium, adjoined to a hotel and entertainment venue etc. Over a 10-20 year view it is not guaranteed that this would fail to make money. Maybe a daft idea, maybe not, but it would seem unlikely that they are gambling on making money due to the unlikely event of us staying in the PL for a decade. There must be another angle.

I know the owner of that building, I’ll do some digging...
Not being daft at all. I assume you are a nice person, and therefore don't intend to offend others, so I thought I'd remark on your post.Gordaleman wrote: ↑Thu Oct 01, 2020 7:07 pmDon't be daft.

Why are you now going on about the Calder Valley?
"Who knows, maybe this will be their plan, perhaps actually in the Calder Valley"
Well I'm not trekking over to Halifax to watch Burnley every couple of weeks.

No place for it imo.
It’s highly likely the office of a law firm will be the registered office for multiple businesses all belonging to people who have no connection to each other in any way.
Because there are TWO River Calders, each with a valley, which flow downhill in opposite directions from a point only a few dozen feet apart in the Cliviger Gorge. One to the North Sea via Hebden Bridge and Halifax and one to the Irish Sea via Burnley, Padiham and the River Ribble.
Try reading the post I was responding to, you might then realise.
That makes sense.bfcmik wrote: ↑Thu Oct 01, 2020 9:08 pmBecause there are TWO River Calders, each with a valley, which flow downhill in opposite directions from a point only a few dozen feet apart in the Cliviger Gorge.
