is always welcome in these times. Even better news would be a return to dividend payments and a boost to the share valeue to cover the years when the market failed to think the turnround would happen. Well done FIF

Been standing on the sideline watching and cheering on. Looks as if we will have won soon. Fingers crossed.
Offer discussions It seems that June 12th is now July 9th see announcement http://www.goalsplc.co.uk/goals/news/releases_pdfs/Goals-3rd-extension-to-deadline-110612.pdf I guess continued talks are better than ceased talks. Any thoughts?
Many Thanks for the link. That's the article I refered to. Silly me, I should have searched IC but I was convinced I had seen it else where. I feel that if the bid is defended sucessfully again there could be an established gain. and if the bid comes off we won't loose. I would prefer shares to cash as I am short on insurance company shares in my portfolio.
This nugget, Topdog 1's post and results. Mon, 2nd Apr 2012 07:36 Six-a-side football pitches operator Goals Soccer Centres has confirmed it has received a preliminary approach from the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan which may possibly lead to an offer for the company. The statement was made in response to press speculation that the private equity arm of the Canadian pension fund is interested in taking the group private. The pension fund has a track record of owning sport-related assets, being the owner of Toronto FC, a club in the Canadian football league. Goals, which recently announced a 21% increase in annual pre-tax profit despite a softening of demand for corporate events and birthday parties, has 43 football centres, including one in Los Angeles. JH Can anyone give me the link to Simon Thompson’s tip Re TopDog 1’s post below last Monday as I would like to re read it. Simon Thomson just tipped goal with possible 20% upside on a bid before 11th June
Hi, A question - do you want to buy more shares yourself in GOAL? If I sell out they might be cheaper!!! It's always a difficult judgement call in the buy, hold or sell front. - But its good fun if one wins.
Took a penalty shot yesterday. The ball seems to be on target and may arrive in GOAL by the 11th June. Looks like a good short term drop kick (whoops rugby term!)
Good to see people back on this company. The RNS was a great read and it's always good to see dividend increases. Even if they are interim ones. Greencore is well positioned to do better than most in hard times as they have always kept an eye on the profit line above all else. For me they are a dividend plus capital growth investment.
Thanks for that. Were artemis on of the buyers on behalf of the unkown bidder back six month ago? I so we are just catching the wake of that deal that got abandoned. I seems there are plenty of shares being bought in large chunks dispite the sell off. It looks like the usual behind doors stuff that happens in the food industry from time to time. My GNC holding is the result of my UNIQ punt some while ago.
