Most seasons they clean ALL THE BING from  the bogs too.

I will challenge that, it was always kept in good nick. Fresh paint every close season, no crumbling terraces and leaky roofs like a fair few grounds I have been on.

The leaky roof in the Lever End was there for that long it formed stalagmites on the seats underneath

Read somewhere that there's 300 non playing staff. Seems high for me that unless you are counting pint pullers etc.

Probably leaving myself wide open for ridicule here but apparently the Holdsworth deal is at the crossing the T's and dotting the I's stage..

Let's hope he doesn't miss anything from six yards....

Before the premier that was also pre administration.

Crowds comparison aside, if it is run well and the match day experience improved, why can't we aim for similar?

Southampton's situation was almost a mirror image to ours. Read their wiki page, it's interesting.

 

They fell on their feet in regards to an owner and dodged a bullet when a deal with some other consortium fell through prior to that. They also had a decent youth team - selling Oxlade Chamberlain for £15 million in league one probably helped them along the way too.

There are probably 120 stewards and turnstiles

 

Plus more matchday staff (ticket office)

 

Id probably say 100 full time and 200 part time?

 

Depends if hotel included

Guess its everyone including hotel staff, stewards, ground staff the list goes on.

Those two old bastards that mind the door at the hotel on match day.

 

The dads army of doormen.

Are the hotel and catering staff not employed by heathcotes rather than the club?

one of them is a right humourless misery guts. I suppose if he isn't getting paid he will have a decent excuse now.

Where did it all go wrong. In the last two years or so the club (ED) has bought the hotel and submitted plans for a large development on land next to the ground, to include offices and a free school. Now were probably a few days from administration. I'm sure ED and his money were involved in these developments, so was there a massive fall out at board level to make ED withdraw funding. It just doesn't add up.

Lennon off to Reading?

Oh my god.

 

ED does not own bwfc lock stock and barrel. Fildraw>Moonshift>Burnden Leisure.

 

Fildraw/Moonshift can't finance the Burnden leisure arm of their companies anymore or the whole lot will go caputt. Its either cut your leg off or die.

I go in every week always have a bit of banter with them and there good as gold with me now but you have to work at it with because they can be a bit miserable.

Are we still thanking Eddie and Phil for the great jobs they've done? We're on the verge going to the wall and some people think they're saints somehow. Surely the basic facts speak for themselves unlike the murky accounts. Bravo well done lads freedom if the town. The club belongs to the town and just hope the incompetent / bent haven't killed it.

Disley will prob sell clough for 500k

 

Boooo

 

Disley out

Hilary Duvet?

Most seasons they cleaned the bogs too.

Whether they needed it or not.

Hilary Duvet?

The bed sheet brigade would definitely be out for her.

My new best mate Nixon ????said that there's new interest with real money but it's early days yet. Now I wonder if it's that Wild rumour someone told me on Saturday?

Early days? - the one thing we don't have is time, so hopefully this new interest can get things moving fairly quickly

Nothing is going to happen fast. Strange to think that less than a month ago our MAJOR worries were results on the pitch.
