    Club Accounts 2016/2017

    The direct and admin costs have seemed high for a while, especially as we have outsourced the programmes, shop, ticketing. Apart from the training ground what big items would go in here? Are you suggesting this doesn't stack up?

    I think you'll find the deal is that we ask the questions, you do the answers.

    Fisher should spin it that for every £1 they get from fans they spend £4 on running the club (haven't currently got the actual numbers, so whatever it works out as).

    I didn't suggest that you had intimated that Deering had any, I would be surprised if she was paid anything, surely you're not suggesting she should be paid, what does she do? If there are payments to third parties acting as Directors shouldn't they be listed as Directors? You seem reluctant...

    Venus and Fisher are listed as the Directors of Otium, Venus for most but not all of the year, that amounts to £75k. Another £100k for Sky Blue Sports and Leisure, the Directors listed as Fisher and Deering. No mention of Anderson at all in the Directors list, not sure why.

    The Chillterns - TLS Wycombe

    Didn't think it was short, if anything it's too long. :)

    Because you said 'some' might be Anderson, I think he was there for around 4 months of that year, and you intimated that Deering wouldn't have much if any. Wouldn't you agree the Directors have been a failure, are they worth £175k, especially if Fisher was part time?

    If it wasn't to Directors it wouldn't be in that section would it? Pretty much every line of expenditure will be a mixture of paid and accrued, so I'm just assuming they have expressly made that point as they are embarrassed about the amount. So I think its agreed the cost is mainly for...

    Do you think the £175k to Fisher and Deering is good value? I don't suppose Deering does much so presumably this is mainly Fisher.

    2-year old killed in hit-and-run, McDonald Road

    Ok, it sounded plausible, but I hope you're right, that's terrible enough.

    2-year old killed in hit-and-run, McDonald Road

    I understand the mum is critically ill as she was also hit, this may explain some of the damage to the car.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs Cambridge United Match Thread - Tuesday 30th Jan

    The guys and girls singing in the corner did a great job tonight, managed to generate a decent atmosphere despite the low numbers. Russ Abbot would be proud of the lot of you.

    Wigan / Wolves interested in Ben Stevenson

    Just informed my 9 year old of this, his response, 'not bothered, he's not that good, he doesn't play anyway, he's their problem now, can I have a biscuit please'. Always a harsh critic (and biscuit lover).

    What important, or great goals have you missed over the years?

    Yeah, my seat was near the back so when the ball went high in the air you never quite knew where it would reappear, adding a level of excitement to even the dullest game.

    What important, or great goals have you missed over the years?

    My grandad had a season ticket in the main stand, mine was in the west terrace, for some reason for one particular game he was giving me a lift afterwards, and he told me not to be late back to the car. So I left the Spurs game at 3:3, but from reading the recent threads it would appear there...

    Exeter Stewards confiscating tickets

    Maybe they knew you were planning to use the word 'inchoate' in a blog for football fans, and therefore you deserved to be kicked out. At least the weekend wasn't all lost, you've taught me a new word. Thanks.

    Mark Robins Plea

    Great stuff as always. I do think though that NOPM, or boycotting, or whatever people may call it, does hurt SISU, maybe not directly, and maybe not hugely. The problem though is that it hurts the club massively, and is a huge case of cutting off your nose to spite your face. So my choice is to...

    MK Dons - Ticket Sales Thread

    The club tweeted a short while ago that they would ask ticket master to open a new block, a new block has been opened and it appears to be selling well, easy to get plenty together at the moment. I'm waiting for another new block though, as I don't want to be at the back. Service seems to be...
