  • And as we stand on the cusp of promotion to the Championship, let's not forget how far we've come. I posted this on Facebook three years ago today...

  • There was a guy at the club who was very helpful. Told him the name I was looking for and he looked through the bricks with me. As it happened, I found it myself. Donโ€™t know his name but he was everyt

Season tickets without stadium costs and 5th biggest I follow revenue is where my logic goes.

Woah, woah, woah.... that board with your name on outside the club shop wasn't cheap, you know ๐Ÿ˜‰

Correct. It's very easy to undo generated goodwill.

Doubt thereโ€™s even 3 million of turnover in that lot. 1 player on 5k cost 250k per year. Itโ€™s no surprise to me weโ€™re still losing money.ย 

I reckon there is but Iโ€™ve no proof. Hardly anyone cashed in a season ticket last season and virtually all stadium costs were removed.

If only one player was on ยฃ5k a week last season Iโ€™d have to question their business acumen in division 4.

Aye. I back track.

Indeed. Another bizarre appointment.

I thought 3.5k was our self-imposed ceiling last year.

But they let Emma Beaugeard go.

Yep. Had the cap for over half a season if I remember right.

Yep, also the finance bloke who supposedly was good. No idea what goes on.

I thought it was 5k but could be wrong. Just checked the accounts filed in 2020 and turnover was 9.3 million. Administrative expenses 7.3 million with a loss of 3.8 million. Not sure what league we were in for these set of accounts and what the admin expenses were.ย 

Garty left didn't he, by choice, unless there was something going on behind the scenes. I wasn't sure he was going to be here for a very long time anyway.ย 

As for Emma, she lost her dad to this disease iirc: who knows how that affected her. Wouldn't read too much into that.

Mr Hart though- buggerfucktwat.

Emma left 3 months after her dad died in a "cost-cutting" measure.

I don't think it was quite as simple as that.

I know it's the BN, but this suggests it was her decision, borne out of the need to reduce costs during the pandemic.

May well have been influenced in part by her personal situation, we won't know.ย

Really don't think we can read too much into her leaving.ย

So cost cutting?

That BN interview he gave when he continuously referred to data and fans was a car crash of almost Prince Andrew proportions.

Garty?

Garty Jnr going was a bad move in my opinion. I respect his wishes as It seems his own choice.

There was a Scottish bloke who was the finance gig. Then they made out he was on a temporary contract. Again odd.

I know nothing about Neil Hart.ย 

Why are people inclined not to like him?

The fact he refers to us as customers rather than fans or clients instead of supporters makes me wonder if heโ€™s ever been involved in commerce prior to coming here. As supporters, we are the constant at a football club and quite often, the folk brought in to run the business should realise this.

Yeah that sort of talk doesn't sit right

But of her own volition. Nothing untoward by Sharon from what was detailed.

Emma, like Sharon seems to be keen on mental health issues too. Her linked in page doesn't show any role since she left us.ย 

All in all, I don't see anything of concern from FV in this.

Mr Hart on the otherhand is a worry.

Plus he introduced the dogshit membership scheme.

I'll have to keep my eye out for him then. He'd just looked pretty anonymous from what I've seen - so I was surprised to read how much he's disliked. Apart from the decision to ban betting adverts inside the ground - he'd gone under the radar for me. And I thought that was a decent move anyway.

The membership scheme. Meh - just an knee jerk event to try to avoid a fine I reckon. Not really changed things for me either way.

No excuse for calling supporters "customers" though. He needs to sort that shit out pronto! ๐Ÿ˜
