Steps taken to prevent reoccurrence & move us to break even from this year. Lots of positivity on & off the pitch since May 2022, especially in increasing attendance. Tough Financial time for our club (like many others) but it seems completely clear, claims of financial collapse & risk to the clubs future were completely fabricated…. who’d a guessed it 🤷♂️ No real surprises in the accounts summary. I would add that, while it's far from the drama some try to paint, if we don't take steps to reduce losses we COULD find ourselves in a very deep hole. I happen to believe this is a time for stability and no knee jerk reactions, we have people in the right positions, especially with Tony out of the picture, to do the right thing. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Average home league attendance this season is 5973.

TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 (edited) Another positive stat this season is that we’ve only been outside the top 6 after 4 match days, 3 of which were the first 3. I hadn’t realised that. Edited January 11 by TPAFKA Jersey 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The report clearly states that all that has been agreed is that there will be a “strategy” to move to a break even basis….… And that strategy will begin *next* financial year. You’ll attempt to spin otherwise but I recognise that will be down to your ignorance and stupidity. Edited January 11 by Sue Denim 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Denim Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 (edited) Just had a quick read of the actual accounts (unlike Baz who just read a screenshot of a summary on this forum) We’ve got net current assets of £929,510 and liabilities after more than 1 year of £1,083,494 (mainly the government loans) Edited January 11 by Sue Denim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Denim Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 (edited) Wage bill has increased from £3,165,331 to £3,899,396 That’s an increase of £734,065 That’s got nothing to do with Covid or one off refurbishments of the training ground. The accounts state the break even strategy doesn’t start until next financial year so that 900k in the bank will be greatly reduced by next year Edited January 11 by Sue Denim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddiecat Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Suppliers contracts will be reviewed it states in the report. That to me means we had not been very prudent in choosing suppliers and there are probably other suppliers who can give us a fairer price for their services. Doesn’t read well for those responsible for the awarding of contracts at the time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t read well for those responsible for the awarding of contracts at the time.Most businesses review their suppliers contracts on a regular basis so it means nothing of the sort. I would worry if they didn't do it. Don't you shop around for the best priced gas/electric/broadband/etc suppliers? And just because another supplier offers a better deal now, it doesn't mean that they did when the last contract was taken out. Methinks you have your big spoon out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The financial year we are currently in. The aim is to be break even again by the end of financial year 2023/24 so I expect another modest loss next year unless we sell players this month which is pretty realistic at this point.

Would love to know the cost comparison of SGL stewarding after it was hurriedly put in place after the previous contract was discontinued. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garzo Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Controlling party: The company is under the joint control of The 1877 Society Limited and Kibble Education and Care Centre. Is this fan control and ownership? Not sure this is what @smisa deal was or even my understanding after the kibble deal. Does 51% not mean The 1877 Society Limited are controlling party?

In fact if you looked at the average attendances of the other clubs, I bet they’d be skewed by them having bigger grounds and therefore bigger crowds against the OF. Would be interesting to see the average crowds of each team stripping out matches against them. For the avoidance of doubt, I was sad enough to take 5 minutes to do ours, I’m no sad enough to do that. 🤣 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
