I want to show how big we can be by acknowledging the fact . We know there will be many more days to laugh at the Blue Few but today they deserve credit. At least they couldn’t lose count,they counted the goals on the fingers of one hand 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably the figures quoted are £1,000's ? Or even millions, given the size of their following! And how do you spend a £1 on transport?

After some of their requests in recent years, I wouldn't rule it out. You never know, it's worth a try because Swindon won league 1 in November a few seasons back after scraping a narrow victory against us. Or was it the World Cup given the way they celebrated? Or possibly the boat race.... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 They will get promoted this year because they now have a billionnare owner and the best manager in the championship and L1, plus Billy Bodin who is now worth £10 million. Good thing that the sprinklers are ready. Interestingly, if they did go up, would their campsite have to pass any tests to enter the championship. i.e are tents and carports acceptable accomodation for spectators (can't really call em fans can you)?

No. If you add back the non-cash items of depreciation and impairment you have a £26k profit last year and a £3k profit this year; they're writing something off (?clubhouse, stock of "We are staying up 2015" t-shirts?)) to create a loss; looks like they know what they're doing (now!). It all looks vvery healthy but they had better hope that that £138k of cash doesn't attract another "over-eager" volunteer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you think what we had to go through to get a safety certificate for the Lansdown Stand, and all things being equal of course they'll be ok.

What's the matter with you ? Sorry about that! I think the club finances are pretty dire if that helps, they're losing c.£1.5m a year (including £0.5m interest payments back to the owner) and are going to hit zero net assets sometime between now and March. With zero net assets the value of the club is just the future income stream from their loyal fanbase net of the running costs of the club. So negative £1m a year "income" stream which I won't even bother to discount. 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiale Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Their merc sales do not cover the staff and running costs of the shop ? Could they not just, well not bother - it also seems a lot of money on wages for a supporters club, you would think it would be ran for the love of the club not a pay cheque ? but who knows, maybe ours also has salaried members. They seem to be sat on a lot of cash as well - surely it should be used for something, hate seeing clubs/ charities just hoard money for the sake of it.

Coombsy Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 I was walking along the top of Rodway hill yesterday and thought about the land/empty field at the back of Cossham street and Cleve Rugby club.I started thinking - we could buy Mangos out and then let them use the new ground with us.The area there could easily be built into a 30k arena.Its by the ring road as well as being in Gas heartland.The fact that I live just 5 min walk way from this site has nothing to do with my suggestion.All we need is weal to put his hand in his deep pockets 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southstandoriginal Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Bristol Rovers and Mangotsfield United sharing a 30k arena. A joke of some kind? It would need to be 40k at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In much the same way as we have a measure of currency by the Tilson, is it possible to have a similar measure of their away following by an easily recogniseable denominator?

Interesting that, we would have to define the ACTUAL away following, the REPORTED away following on Pratchat and the HISTORICAL away following in various moronic posts on the same. It’ll be along the lines of buses, where the ACTUAL crowd is, say, 10 minibuses REPORTED as 10 double deckers with 10 more locked out, and HISTORICALLY and FACTUALLY* recorded as 10 trains full. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
