Arsenal Lock-Down Extended, And Win A Tee-Shirt
Oct 18th, 2007 by 'holic
The news that the current board of Arsenal Football Club have reached agreement about an extension to the much-publicised ‘lock-down’ on share dealing is indeed welcome.
The announcement also goes some way to allaying the fears sparked by recent reports that Lady Nina Bracewell-Smith was considering all options with regard to her near sixteen percent holding of the club.
The extension, along with a range of increased benefits for existing shareholders, are designed to maintain the existing structure and frustrate any ambitions held by individuals to gain control of Arsenal.
I doubt that this signals the end of the speculation, but it should ensure that any takeover attempt is much less likely to succeed for the foreseeable future.
Win A Tee-Shirt
Thanks to the excellent arseshirts ‘holic has a fabulous teeshirt to give away to one lucky reader. Featuring the thirties crest in silver grey, this large tee will make you the envy of all your mates at the Grove.
To stand a chance of winning I want you to tell me which player will score the opening goal of the match against Bolton on Saturday, and yes, I will accept ‘no goalscorer’ as an entry if you fancy a 0-0.
All correct entries will go into a highly sophisticated random number generator hat on Sunday, and I will announce the winner in my match review. All entries should be emailed to ‘competition@goonerholic.com’ by twelve noon (yes, UK time!) on Saturday.
Obviously if you don’t win there is nothing to stop you clicking on the arseshirts link in the sidebar and buying one. They have a range of fabulous designs and colours, and if anybody is thinking of getting me one for Christmas I will need an XL, thank you!
Busy, Busy, Busy
Hospital appointment, work, family dinner. All have to be squeezed in between now and an early departure to the Grove on Saturday. That makes it highly unlikely that I will be back with a preview of the Bolton game, but I know quite a few of you depend on knowing where the ‘holic pound will be gambled, if only to rule it out of your own calculations. In advance of the full injury update, and knowing we will not have Robin van Persie, I will plump for just 2-0 to the Arsenal.
Have a great weekend all of you.

You didn’t give us your tip on first goalscorer though 😉
Here’s a tip that nobody has cottoned on to yet Ollie. Nowhere did I say you could only have one go!
