*** NOT IN ADMINISTRATION ***
Yep, my mistake.
Should have posted "heading not gone", because main creditor for some reason refused to accept full repayment of loan on Monday.
Their main creditor Blue Marble Capitol then changed their mind today and accepted Bolton's £4M debt repayment, allowing Bolton to extend 2 other loans on better terms, and avoid administration.

Thread | THE RETURN OF SWANSEA SLIP BRIDGE
at 18:07 16 Aug 2018
Message from Facebook
PLEASE SHARE OUR GOOD NEWS !!
We are happy and proud to announce that after meeting with the Leader of the Council , Rob Stewart , he has decided to give full political endorsement to our project and has instructed the Economic Development Team at the council to start work on the task of delivering a new replica span for the bridge with immediate effect .
It has long been accepted that one of the greatest assets of the city , our beautiful bay , is under facilitated and therefore underused . It's now time to bring people back to the bay by offering a selection of cafes , bars , restaurants etc . A number of sites have been identified as prime candidates for redevelopment and The Slip is one obvious area that was always a destination for the people of Swansea .
Bringing the bridge back into use will enable an expansion of facilities....a cafe / restaurant , toilets ,parking, perhaps a Visitor or Heritage Centre to celebrate the worlds first passenger railway ,The Mumbles Train, a claim to fame that is barely recognised or celebrated in the city today .
All this will follow , but the first task is replacing the span and restoring the bridge to its former glory, not just as a bridge, but as a much loved and iconic heritage structure , a reminder of our proud industrial past that will stand alongside our exciting new future that is taking shape right now.
One last point......no new public money is being sought for this project . It will be financed from external funding sourced by the Economic Development Team who already have a fantastic track record of delivering on many heritage projects in the city such as Hafod Morfa Copperworks and White Rock . Ongoing maintenance costs for the Slip Bridge , which will be minimal, are to be met from the profits of any commercial enterprise.
We will of course be working alongside the council on this project and will be posting updates to keep you up to speed with progress . Please bear with us , it won't be happening overnight , but it will be happening !!!! |

Thread | Geraint Thomas: Max Boyce immortalises Tour de France victory
at 11:14 5 Aug 2018
"The Boy Who Climbed A Mountain" ... by Max Boyce
Sung to ... "Hymns and Arias"
There's a pillar box in Cardiff, where the mayor has arranged
To buy some tins of yellow paint, and have the colour changed
And down in Cardiff city hall, I've heard the council say
We'll change the name of the Severn Bridge, to the Geraint Thomas Way
Now Whitchurch High are justly proud, and they love to tell the tale
How he carved his name in the wood of a desk, like Warburton and Bale
And where his yellow jersey hangs, beside the wooden beams
This boy who climbed a mountain, and dared to chase his dreams
But there were some who doubted, 'he doesn't stand a chance'
There's never been a Welshman, who has won the Tour de France
But he's more then just a domestique, I've known it all along
The boy deserves a knighthood and his bike deserves a gong
Now the Grogg shop up in Ponty, are working night and day
But people are complaining, there's such a long delay
The kilns are full of Geraints, with a Welsh flag shouldered high
But people have to understand, his hair takes time to dry
So I'll buy a Grogg of Geraint, though I know they don't come cheap
And I'll sell my one of Elvis, and one of Lynn The Leap
'Coz when G rode through Paris, and he waved to all the crowd
He climbed more than a mountain, he made a nation proud
So I hope it's fine next Thursday, to welcome Geraint home
They say the Pope is coming, he's flying in from Rome
And Donald Trump is coming too, he said it should be fun
This guy deserves a medal, so I'll come on Air Force One
So I hope it's fine on Thursday, but I think it's still in doubt
So Derek has suggested, we keep our brollies out
So I'll stand outside the city hall, with its gilded marble dome
And sing like England soccer fans, that Geraint's coming home
