Looking at the terms and conditions of sale of Lockdales the auctioneers it says that once the vendor has signed a contract to sell items at the auction there is a 7 day cooling off period. After the cooling off period items cannot be withdrawn. This suggests that Saturdays sale will go ahead unless there is some sort of legal intervention if ownership is disputed. Their website still confirms that the auction will go ahead. If it does then the Club will have to bid along with everyone else. One would assume they have the financial clout to see off all dealers and collectors. The current regime have proved in the past that they have scant regard for the history of the club with the blue to red issue, this is a chance to redeem themselves and buy all 40 lots and bring them home.
