Not entirely sure why Ashton Gate should pay for council work if the council aren't playing ball the other way.

I think that would be right, but the period that the amount should be apportioned over seems somewhat flexible according to the rules they have created.

Quite! As Sheff Wed's FD I would be rubbing my hands at the opportunities to accelerate or decelerate income. However I suspect the numbers involved will be immaterial in the scale of things.

Anyone remember the West Ham Bond scheme?

Wasn't it called the "Billy Bonds"?

How would the income be recorded though? Would it be spread over the seasons, our just the year the ticket was purchased?

It should be spread, but you could have some fun deciding how.

But this is Sheff Wed's accounting principles we are talking about, so.........

As I understand it the juvenile member of the family (aged 50) would do anything to keep up the pretense of being a football club owner and this is why his elder brother is handling all negotiations which are taking place out of the country.

The latest offer will have to be accepted to enable the 2019 accounts to be finalised.  

 Cheltenham Town or Forest Green Rovers are likely relocation venues.

Blimey!  That wasn't very cryptic, things must be serious..................

The only question is, why does nothing appear on the Land Registry about it- at least last time I checked there wasn't.

Because they are bloody slow.

However, it's better than Johnson, Cotterill and Holloway so I'm not disappointed.
Be interested to see what his style of play is.
Good luck Ben, hope it works out for us all."

Yes of course, so much better than 3 managers who have promotions and other honours on their CV's

Johnson has a promotion on his cv?

If he is as good as some managers think he is then he wouldn’t be at a shit club like them.

That's what I don't get.  If he is so highly rated then an assistant manager's job at a decent Champ team would seem the way to go, then easier to step up.  Taking a job with no resources, wtf?

I was under the impression that the mem was worth £10-12million - it seems to be accepted wisdom over on gaschat that it is worth upwards of £25million now?

When was it valued at £10m?  When Wally came in?

I would be very surprised by 150% increase in that time.

Didn't think you came on this thread. Shame you're trying to ruin this one as well. Course you could take your own advice and not come on it. I'm gonna take some of yours and block you, as you make every thread you infiltrate about yourself, and it's boring.

You are the one who is spoiling the thread mate.

Anyone reckon it might be a wind up which was intended to inflame the gas but instead touched a few nerves over here ?

Hardly any reactions on asschat I see.

 

What is a wind up?

Generic chanting it would appear. Seems to have gone quiet now, can only assume that the excitement of going to 'the Mem' and catching up with fans from the worlds favourite second team is too much.

They will be busy telling the Rovers supporters how much they prefer them over us and telling them how much they like their real ground.  They won't have time for chanting now.

What is it with those paranoid little shitwipes thinking that anything BCFC related and especially SL are all out to derail their next cunning plans to overtake the shit? As if SL really gives those ’s a second thought.

Slagchat as per.....

If Richardson doesn’t plan on building a ground like the original rumoured lot that are trying to buy the Fruit Market site, then Wael should say no. 

Also I wouldn’t be surprised if Pantsdown is helping delay the buyout, seem all bit too much of a coincidence, the sh** announcing a partnership with Total produce the day after news broke about the Fruit Market. Just saying.

Have we got a partnership with Total Produce?

I retired a few years ago, but as I recall, the accounts would be drawn up as at the year end date and a Post Balance Sheet note would have been included which explained and showed the effect of the transaction.

I have never come across a transaction like this, despite being involved in some "interesting" accounting practices and quite a few normal property deals.  I think you will need to see board minutes to get to the very bottom of this - assuming they are not too opaque.  You could take profit on exchange, so again you need to see the documentation.

I will leave this one to more current accountants and enjoy my retirement!

When the M1 Metrobus was launched they stated that it wouldn't have the capacity to cope with hundreds (not thousands) of fans at the same time.

 

Wasn't that something to with insufficient buses, as only certain buses can go through those short, pointless, wanky bits of self driving road and they are expensive and they don't have many of them?

Rochdale 3,574 (record average attendance)

Oldham 4,264

Bury 3,845

Bolton 15,887

Wigan 11,661

Salford 2,489

Are those average attendances from last season really big enough and sustainable?

 

 

If 15,887 isn't sustainable then there are around 10 clubs in the Championship at risk and virtually all of L1 and L2.

I do wonder why the Neville brothers got involved with Salford rather than Bury, a club with a stand named after their Dad and whose mother worked as Club Secretary for many, many years.
