Port Said Red Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 8 hours ago, Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan said: Sorry, most of this is garbage. PNE and Barnsley would never struggle to match Rovers attendances in L1. You could also argue that PNE and Barnsley would have much higher attendances if their catchment area was the size of North and East Bristol with only one local club providing competition for support. Same for Brentford. How many more supporters would the Gas have if they had the same finances and stadium as us? Who knows? All I do know is that in the last 50 odd years they've only had a higher average attendance than us for one season. One season. As for being tinpot....there's clearly nothing tinpot about the Gas!! I do worry about the effect that windy conditions could have on their ground. Well, when I say "worry" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im normally quite accurate on attendances so quite surprised to see it. I thought it was pretty common knowledge that they've only filled their 11.5k capacity swamp on a handful of occasions since moving there.

Does seem a little unlikely, but I would see it as possible that the gas have a long term contract, it's not unusual for companies to run up large amounts on that sort of contract, but maybe the bus company have got jittery about the rumours around their cashflow.

It's more of a problem in her field where she has to prove who actually has controlling interest in a Company, which is what this statement is supposed to show.

If you take Gas Value and change it to real money. The Gas Value is 33.33 times higher (based on Matty Taylor) So if we want Bodin, we just have to offer 90k.

Well there's that and there's that Darrell hasn't got round to collecting all the subs in yet for the new season. It'll get to the point whereby he'll have to enforce a no subs/no game time policy. He doesn't want to do it but he's already sent letters home to parents. He doesn't know what else he can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My back of a fag packet calculations suggests they still have £1.3m left to draw on the RCF so they won't be running out of cash now but without some player sales they will be by the end of the season.
