Hope your right elmo

Why delay it for one day...when they know the market will react completely unreasonably.

Watch it slide already.

Nobody is buying anyway in the lead up to the results this week,

SP has been weak.

All will be revealed tomorrow. I don't think I've ever seen this SP shoot up after results being announced so I am very cautious about tomorrow.

If anything in the past we have seen a rise in SP in the build up to results, which made you think the results were going to be good news....then on results day all the gains were wiped out in one day.

£100k sale does seem strange at 40p when this potentially could be 50p.

Baznick...you honestly think that if people knew this would make it to 5p without much hassle that there wouldn't be a queue of investors waiting to invest a 1p???

you think 5x your money is something people aren't interested in? or you see that level as an easy return.

C'mon.....we have to be realistic.

Garonne....and when does everything go to plan? and how do you expect the SP to X12, and the business to sell large volumes, when in 5 years they have achieved a highest revenue of less than a £1m in a year.

There has been massive dilution in these shares in the last 2 -3 years.......I honestly think something Massive is going to have to happen to get anywhere near 5p.

Think about 3 years ago if you are a LTH....this share use to rise 20-30% on small pieces of news in RNS. It even used to rise 50% over a week in anticipation to news.

Look at the last 8-9 positive RNS we have had, and look at how the SP has risen? ( in case your wondering, it hasn't) 3 years ago we would have been seeing rises consistently on the very news we are receiving now.

The reason we are not seeing these significant rises is the attitudes of investors towards this shares, and the fact the SP has been diluted so much.

I really hope you right and we all win....but if I were you I'd be praying for 5p at best.

My first buy was in April 2023 at 58p , then again 8 days later at 76p, then August 2024 at 61p,

then April 2025 at 48p then 41p.

After every buy i had very quick increases and creamed some off the top but since the crash to 28p, then 19p i became reluctant to average down again ( maybe stupid looking back now, but it was concerning how quickly it was dropping)

I agree with you wolfman....but it just doesn't have the feel that others are interested, and Ballys could hold the current BOD over a barrel if they are determined to sell.

Well it's less than £200m now.....it's £16.06m market cap so it is definitely possible to be less than £200m.lol

I'm not sure I said it couldn't be less than £200m? it clearly is already

Pensioninvestor.....no chance with the amount of dilution recently......

Not a chance.

Be lucky if we ever see 5p again.

Hard, considering in 2023 we were around 40p but unfortunately it's true

Well if he gets 2.5p per share he will probably made a substantial increase on his money.

Meanwhile the rest of us are hoping for a miracle around 5p lol

Chamberslain.....so what are you predicting the final price will be? if Ballys don't pull out because the negotiations are too rich?

Ahead of 2027 would it be a good time for a larger company to take GDR over?

For example....it looks like the company is starting to get some ducks in a row, or irons in the fire....and 2027 could lead to more commercialisation.....would it not be a good time for someone now to step in and maybe purchase on the cheap?

Agree with bigmac .....makes absolutely no sense anyone selling at 41p if a 50p bid is on the table.

Just leaving money on the table.....baffling

One question I have regarding offers and accepting or turning them down.

When we received an offer of 156p, we didn't find out until after the BOD had turned it down?

How come with this one, we are finding out in advance of a decision?

If anyone thinks that Long term Holders will see 50p as a good offer, they need their heads looked at.

Most long term holders have an average of 50p or above ( including myself at 55p)

This business had the opportunity to be sold 3 years ago in June 2023 for 156p per share ( same turnover, same debt...similar profit margins) and the board at the time turned it down.

Many directors have an average of 80p plus, with some even in the 90s and 100s ( according to all know information provided in Directors buy RNS's)

Yes there's been the change of the new tax implications, but this share was in the 60s before that so it was already struggling in terms of SP peformance before the tax announcments.

Its shocking that this has happened.

CJ - you called out 70p as minimum potential offer, then said essentially that this offer will do ( near 30% less).

And you told me you were the seasoned investor who I should be listening to and taking guidance from.

We have ended up in a mess if this business is sold at 50p a share.

Ironshield are fine.....they have done exactly what they wanted, come in mid 30s and then get to sell at 50p making a profit.

So Ironshied coming in and buying £6m of shares meant nothing, and was of no benefit to any of us.......they are just part of the recent crew of new investors who will have made significant gains on this if buying in the last 4 months.

And before anyone says LTHs should have average down when they had the chance.

I averaged down twice to get to 55p from an original position in the 80s.

I should have been getting a healthy profit 3 years ago at 156p ( nearly double my money)....now I'm making a loss. Shambles.

Going to close +5% after what looked like a potentially really good day

I don't know, I know a few of you guys keep saying there's nothing to worry about, and hold tight and don't watch weekly / daily movements.

But we were at 38p just over a week ago, and we are down 4% this morning to 28p.

Results are coming next week....and I can't help but think there will no update on the strategic review, and nothing new around a potential bidder ( there was an article the other week suggesting there was a potential takeover bid)

Ironshield have prob bought in around the 30p - 33p mark, so they will be happy with anything in the 40s you would imagine.

IF there was anything positive to come out next week in the results it would be reflected this week in the SP, and the same applies to anything negative.

I know it's easy to say don't watch the day to day fluctuations but we are now sitting at 30.85 a week after being at 38p.

It's not daily fluctuations......it's down 20% in a week again.

The signs are pointing to results being announced and not being good at the end of April, and no strategic plan in place....which they have been promising ever since the tax increases announcement.

I understand, and hopefully your right....I was just hoping to get out this summer with some sort of profit, but have now been languishing in a 40% loss for quite some time.

Just feels that eventually we continuously see this share decline over the last 2 years.

With that positive buy in last week and rise in SP i thought for the first time in a while we might head in the right direction.

Wouldn't shock me if results come out at end of April ( after being delayed) and we seen another huge crash into the early 20s like we have seen before.

We need some news on bids, strategic plans etc. Or even how the store closures will positively impact the balance sheet.
