Title: Statement Of Accounts For Post by: leefer on Thursday, June 26, 2008, 22:05:22 1952!!..as a collector of progs and bits and pieces i have a copy of the accounts in my possesion and what good reading they make! I cant print it all but have put in a few interesting facts on the incomings and outgoings....
Moneys in as follows Catering Rights £75 Programme Profit £794 Share of F,A Cup pool £1000 Wiltshire Shield £59 Div 3 South Match income £21,766 Reserve Income £1,953 Friendlies £14 Season Tickets £1614 F.A Cup Income £3,846 Supporters Club Donation £206 Receipts From Away Matches £3,146 The entry i like best is £250 for the sale of 354 Ferndale Road! Some outgoings Postage and Telegrams £200 Players Away Match Expenses £204 Directors Expenses £84 Repairs To County Ground £854 Rent And Rates £812 Players Wages £12,649 Kit And Laundry £847 And an entry that seems a bit steep is £377 forBank charges!...no change there then.Apologies for the jumbled way ive written it out and this is just the tip of the iceberg,it makes good reading and is a real blast from the past...all in all the club made a profit off just over £4,000 mainly as a result of a good cup run in the 1955 season.

£250 for the sale of 354 Ferndale Road, nice, puts the other expenses into perspective a bit. I was under the impression that the club used to own a fair bit of random property about the town, didn't think they sold much of it off until a bit later though? You oldies are good at queries like this. Title: Statement Of Accounts For Post by: leefer on Thursday, June 26, 2008, 22:28:39 If you email me an address Ben will send it for you to look at.....the club had a few properties and still think they have a house in Shrivvy Road for the youths but i may be wrong.
Title: Statement Of Accounts For Post by: leefer on Thursday, June 26, 2008, 22:34:47 It was for Season 1955 not 52 as i said in my first post.
Title: Statement Of Accounts For Post by: flammableBen on Thursday, June 26, 2008, 22:47:43 Do you live about Swindon? I was going to suggest you pop around mine one afternoon, I can offer you a cup of tea and a bacon sandwich whilst I scan it in. It's not a desperate matter either way. Could always sort out a hand over in a pub before a pre-season friendly if we're both about.
I don't trust my postman much. He's managed to lose a couple of things that my sister has sent me. Title: Statement Of Accounts For Post by: leefer on Friday, June 27, 2008, 15:50:48 No probs Ben....sort something out when the season starts.
Title: Statement Of Accounts For Post by: lebowski on Friday, June 27, 2008, 16:44:19 Very interesting Leefer. I love stuff like this.
As a man who likes figures, it is interesting for me to see that back in this particular season the FA cup provided more income than season ticket sales. I guess season ticket arrangements were different in those days? Title: Statement Of Accounts For Post by: axs on Friday, June 27, 2008, 16:57:45 I thought the league sales were the 21K?
Title: Statement Of Accounts For Post by: axs on Friday, June 27, 2008, 16:58:19 ah, just season tickets alone. :oops:

Title: Statement Of Accounts For Post by: flammableBen on Friday, June 27, 2008, 17:22:46 Probably about the fifth.
