Tinman knows .

Every time I go on slagchat on my iPad a message comes up in the search window saying “not secure”. Even Internet browsers know ?

Seriously though, only the Gas could claim that taking 1400 fans one and a half hours up the road as travelling ‘on mass’ (?) ? Obviously one of the many Championship clubs who aren’t actually envious of their ‘bonkers’ away support is us as we clearly travel in larger numbers. Think that’s worth pointing out again.

Can't make Hull as I won’t have finished work in time so might get a ticket in with the Oxford fans to lend him my support...

Comedy gold down the Mem this weekend? Worth £20 of anyone's money to see Matty T smash it past em, still our player an all.

But apparently they don't want a real stadium as that would make them a "franchise" or some such nonsense, their ground invokes the spirit of "real football" where it's still 1972 and the passion of that era. I don't understand why more people don't turn up for that real experience.... ?

Which, imho, is a much better way of deciding things.

Their manager talks shit too. ' I will take responsibility as I maybe going too gung ho' Interviewer: ' Um you didn't have a shot on target?'

Not all of ‘em.

The positive vibes are definately dwindling at the moment Just had a look at the remaining fixtures Essex play: Warwickshire and Surrey at home, then travel to us We have to play Yorkshire home, Hampshire away then finish against Essex It's currently raining in Canterbury, weather may be our saviour yet

That ground didn’t have football in 1972!

I remember our brilliant away support , Shutts diving header , a young Peter Beadle and spending most of the game stood balanced on a barrier behind the goal (1980s safe standing !) Brilliant night

Ah, but surely there were only about 3,500 Coventry fans? The Gas may only have taken 1,400 but the rest of the crowd was made up of Brum fans there to support them because they are universally loved by the fans of all other clubs. QED.

So after a lot of hype, ‘out’ in the first round! Sounds oh so familiar.

Duane Sports a Bloody Nose...

I think it’s a fair assumption that Rovers would take more to Manchester, on a Tuesday night, than they get at home games..!

Would this be after you lot withdraw their funding again?

It was rather surreal. I remember driving down a dual carriageway back to the motorway in convoy with the supporters` coaches and there was some sort of club high up on one side with a huge outside area which was filled with Owls fans cheering and waving us on our way.

Don't knock them too much, if they get better Lansdown will be buying them anyway

Don't you just hate someone who can respond to a question by using rational argument based on factual information and without resorting to personal attacks on the poster or the use of unsubstantiated rumours or just by shouting ever louder? In other words , a right clever dick! Seriously, in the murky and complex world of football club finances and ffp rules I do enjoy reading your posts and the way you are able to make the issues more understandable.

Wallsall being an obvious exception .

Correct and we were involved in one when we played Sheff U and beat them then lost to Walsall .

It was just before Xmas last season, but this season it's in February , which will probably coincide with our push towards the play offs. Add in the fact that last season a lot of us stayed in Newcastle for the weekend and I told a lot of people what a good laugh we had, it's easy to see why we will double what we took last time. That's not even allowing for the fact that Sunderland fans loved us and many will be imploring us to visit again.

Come now, I'm sure Man City fans talk about little else but the Taylor deal. There's probably a long thread about it on most club's forums, it's such a big scandal, a stain on the game's spotless reputation. Remind me who agreed the sell on clause and forgot to set it at £10m though, as their fans don't seem to know anything about it. Or they do but don't want to hold their beloved owner accountable for it. Or for anything else

Presumably you mean the debt to ownership in that? Not so relevant to FFP. A lot of this will be infrastructure related expenditure IMO but will look again at this in due course, these areas a big note closely. I recall there was a large debt write off in League One in Jan 2014. £35m as per a BBC Article. This isn't relevant to FFP. FFP is something as a club we take very seriously- at times this is to the chagrin of some of our fans! Could probably amend the ground sale issue to make it possible if we were so minded. There are other fixed assets on our books that we can inflate in a transaction to a related party if necessary. We know all clubs at this level are financially reliant on their owner to a lesser or greater degree- doesn't mean there aren't loss limits within this however. Let's look at YOUR club in some detail shall we. 1. You extend accounting reporting period from May 31 2018 to July 31 2018- the due date from February 28 2019 to April 30 2019. That's fine, all legal within company laws. 2. Your owner says at a fans forum in JANUARY 2019 that if there us no promotion you'd be in BIG trouble. https://www.thestar.co.uk/news/sheffield-wednesday-owls-chairman-dejphon-chansiri-admits-wednesday-need-to-solve-financial-worriesa-to-avoid-future-problemsa-183808?amp 3. He mentioned a breach by 8 figures. 4. The accounts that were already due by April 30th 2019 didn't actually appear until a month on and later still. 5. 11th July 2019 on your website- JULY!? 6. 16th July 2019 at CH. 7. At least they were dated and signed by due date yeah? Err- no! June 21st 2019- well past CH revised let alone initial due date!! 8. Any sign of it at Land Registry yet? Last time I heard there was not. 9. What definitive proof is there that this transaction was completed within, or at least began within the correct reporting period? Eg up to May 31 2018 or if revision accepted July 31 2018. EFL shouldn't accept it if not. 10. Does it show in the Cash flow statement in its entirety as a once off move? Derby's did, Reading's did. Can't say I saw it on first glance but will look again of course. Aston Villa's should in 2018/19 accounts... I'm no fan of the Derby ground sale and leaseback but set against your clubs actions in this sense, they look a model of pure probity and have a halo above their head. Only club worse at this level financially speaking IMO were Aston Villa. The one thing, you've FINALLY sold a striker, finally- Joao for several million. Non renewal of contracts also helps but you've signed a number of players too albeit on frees- loans from PL last season can't have been freebies. Lazaar, Aarons and Onomah I believe. Rhodes was off the books which helps and a loan fee inbound too, but now back on and presumably on full wage. Management compensation- still though it's a nonsense tbh overall. As for us. Academy products sold for big cash represent pure profit. Lloyd Kelly £13.5m up front- that's £13.5m to offset losses. Bryan was around £6m, offsets very nicely. Reid- that had addons but offsets. Flint probably had a sell on fee to give part of and some remaining amortisation to offset against but a profit nonetheless. BIG Webster profit but then again sell on fee and remaining NBV- add ons too, add ons which may or may not have been hit last season, could complicate. Overall we're compliant and we seem to have done this in the correct manner.

Was this number 1 the last time we played each other in the league?

We're coming for you.

See you next season.

Trafficators!

I'm fat, bald, ugly, lazy AND a Gashead.

Theresa May is touring the countryside in a chauffeur-driven car. Suddenly a cow jumps out into the road. They hit it full on and the car comes to a stop. Theresa in her usual charming manner, says to the chauffeur....... "You get out and check - you were driving." The chauffeur gets out, checks and reports that the animal is dead. "You were driving; go and tell the farmer," says Theresa. Five hours later the chauffeur returns totally plastered, his hair ruffled and with a big grin on his face. "My God, what happened to you?" asks Theresa. The chauffeur replies: "When I got there, the farmer opened his best bottle of malt whisky, the wife gave me a slap-up meal and the daughter made love to me." "What on earth did you say?" asks Theresa. "I knocked on the door and when it was answered, I said to them.... "I'm Theresa May's chauffeur and I've just killed the cow."
