Hi all, spoken to at least two people today who both say they have heard a rumour that RobinHood have bought Westfield!!!!!!!!!!!!
When the 1st person told me i was sceptical but now i've heard it twice i'm starting to wonder if there may be some truth in it.
Has anyone else in the biz heard anything?????? This could be big news!

"An industry source told me that it was common knowledge within the industry that Westfield were up for sale and that the new owner of RH was looking...."

I've always had a good opinion of Westfield - I do hope that RH moves towards Westfield's standards, and not the other way round...

I'm with david,

if it can raise Robin Hoods standard and keep the prices low then all the better.

I doubt it's got anything bto do with quality of product - perceived quality perhaps. Don't forget it's venture capitalists behind this; not good natured philanthropists. It's all to do with maximising the value, and probably realising some cash through asset sales on the way.

Isn't Volvorsport doing something at the Robin Hood factory now? It sounded that way when he last posted.

yeah he is , and i know nothing .

I KNOW NOTHING! isn't that what Manwell used to say in faulty towers?

Was that not Sargent Schultz in Hogen Heros

Spoke to the guys at RH at Detling, they seem to have a lot of stuff in developement at the mo.
They still have that Rager thing in their showroom but don't know what to do with it yet. It certainly is a curious bit of styling.
