Early completion of owners' and directors' test

East Street Investments is hoping that the interviews for the EFL owners' and directors' test can be completed by the end of the week, reports Richard Cawley of the SLP.

There should not be any difficulty about criminal convictions or insolvency. As far as I know, no other clubs are going through the process at the moment: the EFL can only handle one club at a time.

Some fans have expressed concern at the relatively small boost to the home crowd on Saturday. However, the takeover was only announced on Friday and supporters might already have made plans for Saturday with the early kick off making things more difficult.

However, we should not expect all old fans to return. We always lose some in any one year because they move some distance away or start families. A number of people I know have developed new interests which occupy them on Saturdays.

The Wembley attendance is not relevant as that included friends and families who would not normally attend and also fans who came from a long way away. I know of quite a few fans who now live in Spain and can only attend matches occasionally.
