When you offer a pound

Just to steal someone’s ground

That’s the Rovers

They were far more concerned about the hiding we were going to get from West Brom, but just as they were after the Sheff Utd and Boro matches they’ve gone very quiet about that for some reason.

Never mind, we’ve got Villa on Saturday so they’ll all be glued to that instead of the relegation battle going on in front of them (those that can actually be bothered to attend the Mem of course, which isn’t many).

 

Never felt more like....bollocks...shut up....ssh....ssh....they don’t exist....82.

I've checked upon the late filing fees and they are disappointingly low for a private limited company as these companies are.  They are doubled if it's the second year of late filing in a row so there will be a minor incentive to file them early next year.

However just to tot them up:

• Not more than 1 month £150
• More than 1 month but not more than 3 months £375
• More than 3 months but not more than 6 months £750
• More than 6 months £1,500

So that's currently 5 x 150 + 1 x 375 = £1,125.  No big deal.

Leave them for a year and it's only £9k.

What is more telling is the attitude of the owners which smacks of Robert Maxwell's football club ownership.  No communication with minority shareholders, no epxlanantion, no AGM.  Even leaving filing to the last minute is bad enough - why do you need to do this? - and possibly that "don't care" attitude has just bitten them because there is now a material post balance sheet event (?sale negotiations) which would not have been the case had they filed them in good time.

Though thinking of Robert Maxwell with his attempt to merge Reading and Oxford into Thames Valley Royals maybe that's what happening?

Could we be about to see the birth of Swindon Rovers?  The quartered robins.

 

 

Nah, the merger of Rovers and Forest Green to become Forest Green Rovers perhaps?

@bodin It is indeed, talk about a real rogues gallery there, the guy to the right (as we look at it) of Stewart is familiar too, but his name escapes me

I'm intrigued what they were all looking at

The big TV screen showing a photo of Matty Taylor about to come on accompanied by the chant about how much he hates Rovers. Welcome to Bristol Darrell.

“Ow did them lot down the road get on?

....appy days”

I barked at him a few times to try and get his attention, then when he looked round I whimpered like Lassie. It was just like his on pitch performance 3rd May 2014....Whimper Whimper. Mind The Gap.

Print this bastard! the lot of them.

When you can’t pay your bills

And your staff rob the tills

That’s the Rovers

With the City above

They’re all desperate for love

That’s the Rovers

When survival is slim

They all play the victim

That’s the Rovers

Where they worshipped Randall

Yet they still won **** all

That’s the Rovers

Where the owners a fake

And they all hate the snake

That’s the Rovers

Where there’s more lifetime bans

And they’re head butting vans

That’s the Rovers

Where they’re faithful and true

And they’re coming for you

That’s the Rovers

When you can’t comprehend 

There’s no ******* TOTE END

That’s the Rovers

When you’ve no history

And no pot in to pee

That’s the Rovers

However, it's only that poster who is seemingly aware of this board meeting.

I think a more likely story is that they will file late, have on-going financial support in place, but will announce that they are actively seeking buyers.

Awwww diddums
