BBC Wiltshire Sport on Twitter: According to FIFA, #STFC got $108,591 in World Cup payments for Jonny Williams and Joe Wollacott, around £83k at current exchange rates.
Seems like that was the low end of what we thought it might be. Assume if they've published it it's actually been paid now though.

Always good to get money for nothing, provided the chicks are free. Maybe we're signing Adam Chicksen?

Saw one of the clubs sponsors comment below saying that it had yet to be paid.

@robertT
absolutely needs to be checks and balances given the potential conflict of interest. That's just good sense for the JV.
I think its all rather jumping the gun at the moment, its going to be a couple of years at least till anything of any size/value gets built anyway, Clem ain't going to retire on the proceeds of whacking a roof on the bank.

Oh yeah, I'm not expecting much to happen for a while. Maybe the DRS exec boxes in the next 3 years is doable but where do we get the money for things like that?

Banks and/or investors.

Typically the interest rate is rising at just the wrong time!

Oh yeah, and construction cost inflation is also going through the roof! If Clem sees this as they way into the main contractor business he is very brave at this time!

How would sponsors know ? Surely the club isn't giving sponsors access to the finances, or telling them about income "yes, Ms sponsor Fifa are due to pay us that money, and there will be be income from the tea lady as she only worked 6 hours last week and we pay her for 8, then there is x player that has just left we have saved y money there"

TBF as half the posters on here know the clubs finances in intricate detail one would assume that sponsors are getting the info from the same source.

I think it has been obvious for the past two years that our Sponsors are likely also providing some sort of contra work - we keep seeing an official Sponsor who is also a supplier, we keep asking for volunteers and we have invited Sponsors to the AB meetings. I imagine the club see this as an effective way to reduce costs and get services provided - which is fair enough when all accounted for. It's entirely likely someone has been helping with the financial reporting for a few weeks.
As an example, wasn't a local IT recruitment firm (sponsor of the club) the e-mail address being used for football club vacancies?

This is how easy it is though for rumours to be spread.
It wasn't a sponsor it was that Kieran Maguire on Twitter and rob angus retweeted it. It wasn't mentioned who the clubs were i don't think

One of the sponsors (the bloke Rob refers to above, who usually sticks up for the club, rightly or wrongly) did tweet earlier to say it still hasn’t been paid, but I can see it was later deleted.
