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

Doubt there’s even 3 million of turnover in that lot. 1 player on 5k cost 250k per year. It’s no surprise to me we’re still losing money.

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

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

I reckon there is but I’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 £5k a week last season I’d have to question their business acumen in division 4.

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.

[Casino]

Who do you mean?

Garty?

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.

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. 

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.

Did the away fans not put you off your stroke a bit? Fair play

Dunno about the crowd, we had The Trooper playing 🎶 sort of set the rhythm 😅

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.

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

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

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. 

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 he’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.

[tshape]

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. 

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.
