Was that not a loss during the pandemic, though? Surely that's different to running at a loss? I would hope that the club's taken action to reduce expenditure if that's the case. If it isn't the case, then what on earth are we doing turning away £105k of guaranteed money*? *club's estimate.

There was a loss at the end of the last set of accounts, but they were forecasting even greater loss this last accounting period which ran until end May 2022. Ideally we could do with John McGinn moving from Villa this summer. I can’t see it unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will take this moment to apologise for only attending matches regularly since 1974. I also apologise for only being a member of the 1877 Club and paying for an additional family member to join too. I should add another apology and that is paying for parking at the stadium. Sorry guys! I’m sorry too for bringing guests along - how could I think that this might be enough but no - unless I joined SMISA then , clearly none of this counts for me or the many others who do the same. Whilst I am at it , I voted to support helping others to come along (and had suggested it before but was told there was no mechanism for it. I am glad there is now). I am a mere season ticket holder. Do I think crowds will grow? Yes, I do. Do I think that there is a god given right for this to happen? No I don’t. Will I throw capital at it or ask others to do so? No I won’t. After all we have SMISA and Kibble with substantial ownership. If you own it, I suggest you find it. Meanwhile I will try to keep doing what I have been doing, bring others along and help others to come along. Many do so already. COYS. One doesn’t have to be a SMISA member to have the clubs interests at heart. To suggest this does SMISA a disservice.
