Here you go ?

Can't be true. We'd had our phones cut off after Ian Stevens put all the gate money on a greyhound and it ran off.

Quite possible that the term "Top Rank Tote Enders" contained a typo.....

As you’ve asked so nicely and have not been condescending or patronising I’ve subscribed

I like it. Camp Few perhaps?

They don’t get hordes of blue & white quartered idiots there on a match day. Why would lock down make them turn up..?! ?

Oh go on then, the delusion starts 90 seconds in

Both. Oddly. I will try and find a picture.

In keeping with their standing in world football would you please show some respect and refer to it by its correct name. The Canopy Nou

Banksy your art is rubbish .

It's painful to see how they're throwing random figures around without bothering to look at the accounts. As I'm waiting for it to warm up enough that I can sit out in my back garden I thought I'd take their accounts apart. As it were. Comparing position at 30 June 2015 (Higgs / Wonga Loans) and 30 June 2019 (last set of accounts): Share Capital has barely moved, net other assets have barely moved. Accumulated loss 2015: £10.7m Accumulated loss 2019: £24.1m Loss in the four years: £13.4m I'm assuming that this £24.1m (accumulated loss for the year dot) is what they're throwing around as debt. It isn't. In that same period: Debt at 2015: £6.9m (variously bonds, directors loans, wonga loan) Debt at 2019: £16.2m (Dwane Sports) Increase in debt: £9.3m There is an odd movement in "other creditors" accounting for most of the balance; there is no analysis of this figure. Other creditors at 2015: £0.5m Other creditors at 2019: £4.5m Increase in OC: £4.0m Combined Debt / OC: £13.3m Other movements: £0.1m Per loss in four years: £13.4m The question the is what is "other creditors"; it's not trade creditors, directors loan, or VAT / PAYE. Possibly another unrelated company (Jordanian Bank?) is incurring expenses on behalf of Rovers and rolling up the costs: for the London office / planning / stadium work maybe? Don't know but £4.5m a huge figure to be stting under "other creditors". On one interpretation their debt has only gone up by £9.3m since the Higgs era; on another £13.3m. It's not £24m anyway.

Wasn't there a west end play about Wally and Starnes.............One Fan, Two Guvnors ?

Shouldn't bite but utilising tax payers money from the very jurisdiction someone left owing to taxation- ain't a good look, and yes there is an element of newsworthiness there.

Well, as discussed above, they definitely did, and you have to admit the results bear a striking similarity...

They certainly did, they crowed about being one of only two clubs who’d ‘improved’ their stadiums that summer, the other being Spurs!!! You cannot choreograph comedy quite like that ????

perhaps we should do a timeshare on it. you loan me yours for 4 months (say May until the end of august) and I will then loan you mine for eight months until the following May?

Loyal and true.... Aren't those day-one sales for a midweek away at Fulham?

That save! I've seen loads better. Many from our very own Dan Bentley, to start with. Mock Banksy, you said. No?

I`ll take ten. If you just DM me your bank account details and PIN number I`ll deposit the cash straight away.

I read it somewhere on here from a usually well informed source. I believe £2m was outstanding. Don't think my mind was playing tricks. NH owned 54% of the shares. The club was originally bought for what £5m plus the Wonga loan paid off, other directors were paid off with a balance outstanding to NH. Of course, I could be completely wrong. The following was taken from Gas chat: Jun 11, 2015 at 12:00pm Henbury Gas, gaseous, and 2 more like this Quote Post by gasincider on Jun 11, 2015 at 12:00pm NH loans £1,358,000 BB ' £ 719,000 CJ ' £ 218,000 EW ' £ 309,000 RK ' £ 186,000 GD ' £ 974,000 MSP Cap £2,600,000 Others £ 76,000 All currently outstanding as at last accounts. Obviously they all bought shares, but these are not repayable, whilst they do confer ownership. NH has 4.4 million shares out of a total of 8.5 million approx giving him a holding of 54.2% CJ attended 11 games including Wembley.

I hope that’s not a dry cough phantom.

They didn’t claim they’d made as many improvements as Tottenham. That would be ridiculous! No, I’m sure they said that they were just a similar sized club (bigger fanbase, obviously) than spurs. Bigger than Norwich, obviously, but only setting their sights on being level pegging Tottenham. The fact they weren’t in last seasons champions league final was purely down to a combination of Wycombe, Steve Lansdown and Matty Taylor.

Could some of it be interest showed separately from the capital outstanding and included in the accounts as an accrual ? That sum would have been about £ 1.6 million last June and could be up to £ 2.5 million by this June ? Which would make the total owed to the Al Qadi family about £ 21.5 million but there is nothing to worry about because their bank is going places and might soon be in a situation comparable to the West Bank.

Banksy, you're a poo poo face.

With not much going on we'll have to go back to old R*vers jokes. Fan phones Eastville Stadium "what time is kickoff?" Bert Tann "what time can you make it?" ?

At least the sags wouldn't be able to tag us with '82, they'd have to update to '20 (or '21 in worst case....)

Oh yes, we mustn’t forget the new canopy they added over their ‘hospitality entrance’ - they even crowed about it online!

Putting aside arguments over it, this could be really quite a big development if any truth. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8197663/MARTIN-SAMUEL-Championship-owners-considering-group-administration-solve-wages-dilemma.html Won't pass a judgement but who knows how things would pan out...

Busy Doing Nothing...Bing Crosby

It was a great night. Cotts' reaction when the third went in was magic! I've been following the club since I was a nipper in the early 5O's and that season under Cott's was one of the best. It was only L1 but we were such a force. Felt like we were riding the crest of a wave. Fantastic times, pity the 'Gate was being redeveloped at the time, otherwise the home crowds would have been 20k plus I reckon.

Oh it's not though. They are being charged by the hour to use the car park. They only way they can avoid it is to but 2 decaf lattes, a bacon roll and a pecan slice from the coffee shop. Those driving in for a test need to show their season ticket and then agree to spending money in the superstore.

Yes. Via Parson Street.

Yeah you're right,maybe I am worrying about nothing!
