I suggest a moaning zone and a non moaning zone...as well as a singing area.
We have the moaning zone already. I like the idea of the other two! |

The adver guy just tweeted "AGM reveals operating profit at Town and plans for 19,000 all-seater stadium redevelopment. Full report tomorrow morning"
We made a profit? WTF? Aren't we at risk of getting expelled from the Football League for that? |

I will try to remember what was said :
Yes, we did make an operating profit, but that was due to some 'exceptional' items including a 'profit' of over £1m on the CVA (due to the fact we paid a creditors a smaller amount which they invoiced for), and due to the fact that we 'only' had to pay St Modwen back £1m of their loan, which the club accrued for the whole amount in previous accounts. The club has also accrued for 'settlement costs' totalling £445k in respect to legal action by a certain Greek fellow, who Fitton refused to name. Fitton said that he thought the Greek won't go any further with his legal action, and that they were likely to only get upto have the court costs.
The club made nearly £1m on player sales (mostly from Coxy). Turnover rose from £3.4m to £5.3m, part of that rise down to the play-offs. Revenue from commercial activities doubled in a season.
Regarding ground development, 19,000 was the figure mentioned, with plans maybe going to the council next month. They are looking into turning the new Arkells into the front of a Technology park, after an idea from Andrew Black. There was a old block who moaned that instead of spending money on a ground development, spend it on the team, and who couldn't see the point of oing to a capacity of 19k, when we've only been getting 8k !!

But the bigger picture is boring, I say spend, spend, spend like it's a previous regime. What's Juan Cobian up to these days? |

Not much. We could have some loan players in from Reading, but nobody was mentioned. Charlie had a meeting with Fitton and Wilson this afternoon, but Fitton would not divulge what was said.Charlie's contract still has another 2 and a half years to run, so he said it is up to the club if they sell or not, and at the right price. |

Guess 19k seems sensible, with potential for further expansion i guess. Key is being able to include the other revenue generating functions like this technology park idea to further increase the clubs income.
Its good to see the club seems to be being run so well and sensibly. If only the on the field scenario looked so promising at the moment.

thought austin only had 18 months left not 2 1/2 years?
maybe just an error from Fitton
Did they confirm he'd asked for a transfer as at present there have been no direct quotes about it at all.

No, the contract was originally a two and a half year deal, with the option of another year, and the club have obviously taken this up...and Fitton refused or confirm or deny a transfer request has been received. |
