You’re right missing matches is a misleading name, delayed days out might be a less catchy title.

The £20 grand donations is needed for cash flow problems, they could borrow money but nobody would touch them with a barge pole (even the council said after the last emergency £150 grand loan they’d give them no more) whilst their board is being all sanctimonious about other clubs they agreed to increase their playing budget this year by £15 grand to spunk on a journeyman 37 year old striker who’s not setting their league on fire away from his day job sat on his arse watching videos for city. Increasing the football budget when they can’t afford to pay staff was irresponsible & shows how poorly managed they are.

That's what I was hinting at ;-)

The 10/20k is to pay for the monumental fuck ups.
Now fair do's, if their fans are willing to keep getting rinsed without voting out a totally incompetent board, who am I to comment.
But, (I told you there was always a but) if the monumental fuck ups mean the Council don't get their money back, it is, plain and simple, wrong.

Any normal business would ensure that is all taken into account so they ride out the rough times.

More importantly football clubs at National League level and below (baring those with a sugar daddy) take these things into account.
There will be times during the season where you just might need some money in the bank!!!!

OK......
So @M40_Sheriff says this
"The council get their payments. They're in every month meeting with the staff. They go over our finances as well. That's why that figure on here is less than a million, when 8 years ago it was over a million"

Yet another Bucketeer on their forum says this
"the council graciously gave us a two year debt repayment holiday"

Who is right? Come on Mr Sheriff - all we want is the truth!

Either way, when a further FOI request is made to the council, if the figure is still 900K then we will know the answer ;)

Mini rag bending the truth about their finances? Colour me shocked!!!

How much have they been given from the council ?

Our theatre group based on Moston Lane have never been given a penny. We were formed in 1919 and have donated our profits to the Lord Mayors fund, over £200k over the years. Our constitution stated we had to donate any profit from a show. Now we are skint and council struggling to help.

If only we had known......
