    I'd be interested to know how much money they've actually put in.

    They borrowed against the club, borrowed from UKGOVplc, borrowed from the fans...

    All that can be found in previous accounts.

    Not a clue what they had to do to ensure the CUNT was paid off, not the full details of discussions with ED's family.

    They did say at the time that they didn't have pots of cash to throw at things, as was shown by the very moderate money used on players.

    Nevertheless, they have managed the finances well- the covid money was something that many businesses applied for, but few got.

    You make it sound as if it was it was untoward, whereas the club needed cash for obvious reasons.

    The fact that the loan was converted into shares must be an indicator that those investing are indeed happy with the management. 

    As for the fans; that was purely a voluntary scheme, with the opportunity to make some gains. We make such choices everyday with pensions, and other investments. 

    Again not something to beat then with, but a reflection of innovative, positive management.

    Promotion from L2 was the bare minimum of acceptability IMO

    Steadied in L1, could have been so much better had we started the season in August and not January

    Lovely day out at Wembley, bottled the play-offs with two weak displays

    Blew automatic promotion, but still in with a shout of achieving the bare minimum of acceptability


    So far, it's a bit like my old school reports, could do better : seems to be just doing enough.

    No one team had the right to get promoted or achieve a goal.

    We lost out last season to a side that was a touch better than us in the play offs.

    Reversed this time, so progress is continuing. 

    Yes, we'd all like further promotion, as quickly as possible, but the club is still growing in terms of support and income, and the team is heading in the right direction.

    Aye 

    Online sales should negate the need queue and not overload the ticket office as in days of old 

    It should be easy for anyone to buy a ticket whether they be an ST, a ST with family or friends who have an ST, members and when on open sale 

    I know websites, I've built lots, I've bought lots of tickets online for matches and gigs over the years 

    The way this platform works in conjunction with our ST and membership set up doesn't make it easy at all, as has been demonstrated since tickets went on sale

    Absolutely. 

    Whether it's ticket master, the club, or both who are at fault, I don't know. What I do know, is that it isn't fit for purpose.

    Especially if sales are online only.

    I honestly don’t know how some Bolton “fans” manage to cross the road.

    I’ve never read so many ridiculous questions on various platforms, including here.

    Grown men behaving like bloody primary school children. 

    Do these people never leave their houses for Gods sake?

    Stay at home you fucking imbeciles. 
     

    Agree to an extent, but I think it does show how inadequate the "technology" is.

    If people are trying to simply buy tickets for themselves and a child, then it ought to work.

    Frankly, there was nowt wrong with going down in person- with a load of ST's from your group- and just buying them.

    Usually ended up having a good old chin wag with people in the queue too.

  5. Wrexham football club certainly haven't made a profit.

    How their losses fit with ffp, I've no idea, but I do know that the owners are aware of rules, and that's part of the reason they want to expand the capacity as quickly as possible.

    Villa wanted it more, they were hungry like a wolf.

    city will be pleased gives spurs less hope, a blue moon on Monday.

    At the same time, it gives Spurs hope.

    Win tonight and they've a chance of champions league football. 

    Had Villa won it would have been over.

    L/H must like the purple microphone he's on his knees so often.

    He'll be wearing a Palestinian shirt for the final.

    I personally think selling 28,000+ tickets for wembley, 35,000 tickets for Wembley last season, 15,000 season tickets and selling out nearly every away game this season says more than enough thank-you to Football Ventures.

    Maybe they should all stand up on 28 mins and thank us for our unwavering support and letting them be custodians our life long football team...

    Though without FV, we wouldn't be in a position to be selling that number of tickets.

    It's not so much that they saved us from the brink, but the sterling job they've done since.

    Many a club has been taken over when in difficult circumstances, but they haven't achieved the level of success on and off the pitch.

    All that said, the idea of a round of applause is cringe worthy, and a shit idea.

    We must have been so unlucky, going to Brentford early 90's our mini bus got stopped just outside of Brentferd and our driver was nicked as we all had ale on the bus, he had to return to Brentford a couple of weeks later to go to court and was fined a couple of hundred quid

    Chance drivers take I suppose.

  10. Lots of strangely one sided comments about dodgy mps.

    So let's look at the numbers as a whole.

    18 have lost the whip from their parties since the last election. 

    One was suspended following a conviction that was later overturned on appeal, but he's still waiting for the whip to be returned. 

    7 of the 18 were labour mps.

    8 were Conservative, with Bob Stewart waiting to get the whip back.

    1 DUP

    1 Plaid Cymru

    1 SNP

    Now then, given the considerably larger number of Conservative mps than Labour ones, it is categoric that Labour has the largest (%) discipline problem, irrespective of what is posted/trumpeted/reported.

    Rest assured, this data was published by the Guardian on the 18th April.

    Any changes since clearly aren't represented.

    It feels a couple of years too late to be honest.

    One of the all time greats.

    Aye, maybe.

    Still did reasonably well though. 

    Perhaps he was driven by the 700 mark, but there is no chance of 800.

    Cmon LH, give your head a shake and take that post down.  She's worthy of our total respect not sexist/misogynistic crap.

    I've commented on this before.

    I know he perhaps says things in jest, but she gets quite a bit of such things on here. I hope she doesn't read it.

    you need one of them masks 

    I have a deviated septum, but don't need a mask.

    Losing more weight will help, but I'm not allowed to reduce the medication that puts it on just yet.

    Hopefully, that will change soon.
