I remember back then Atkins saying he had received the largest budget here that he had ever worked with and DC has now admitted the same.Sometimes when Managers in this position they start building a squad rather than a team and lose sight of just what has been successful, trying to recruit for all eventualities but mastering none of them. Suddenly the opposition who play the same way with the same players week in week out beat us with really they have no right to.

wendyredredrobin Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 On the basis that they are still losing money every week, Wally won't put any more in, the ground is mortgaged to the hilt, etc. How much longer will they remain solvent for? - weeks? Months? When are the next accounts due? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myol'man Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) Massive game for the blue few this weekend as they travel to the Stadium of Light for the FIRST TIME EVER! Some of them still think that they are going up to Roker Park! The last time they even played Sunderland in the League was at Trumpton in 1993, so now lets play guess the crowd. Without looking it up, how many loyal and few, including the hordes of travelling Mackems made it along to Bath, it what was their final season at 'Championship' level (League Division 1 back then) MTG Edited December 11, 2018 by myol'man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 4 hours ago, Bar BS3 said: I know that their fan base are generally as thick as pig shite, but surely the odd one with half a brain cell should pipe up and deliver the realism that getting 7-8k at home games is not “well supported” especially when their minimum break even requirement is (was, its probably more now) 9.5k. How often has their amazing support averaged their minimum required break even number in the last 60 odd years..?! That’s not actually the part of the quote that stand out to me. It’s the fact they think they are attractive to an investor because they have a interesting backstory with their nicknames and have a unique kit. Wtf, they are in a worse mess than I thought if that’s a strong selling point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 Just now, TomF said: July 1st I think. A quick look at last years accounts showed a £3.046m loss. The total debt stood at £9.8m Going on the basis of a similar loss this year that must take them close to the £12m charge against the ground? I thought the credit facility had been extended?

Well, I don’t think Bradford were on their way to the top at that point in time Maj ..... they were relegated to the third tier a couple of years after we beat them up there and it took them ten years to reach the premier league from when we stuffed ‘em....however, during their league cup run that year they beat both Everton and Spurs I believe so our result was not to be sniffed at...

Bit harsh to compare them with a team no one has heard of scrabbling around in the lower leagues in their country, after all they are one of the most successful teams in the Mexican league. 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
