Will somebody just fucking give them a bike rack - it's been mothballed now!
Now - I will say I have not been in the Legends Lounge in a long time, so it may well be needing urgent work. However, if it remains as I remember it, what on earth are they dribbling on about spending money on that area of the ground? If you want to develop the ground and create new revenue, would it not be better to be identifying ways to invest Capital elsewhere. You know, to create something new, additional, incremental? This and the fact it has taken three decades to install a statue (I know, exaggeration) and the wistful talk of weekends spent marveling the under soil heating at a L2 club in the South of England, hardly inspire much confidence in the group supposedly pulling together a Master Plan for investment in the ground (oh, and the fucking bike rack, A BIKE RACK!).
Could they just not reinstate the Robinettes, turn them over and, voila! |

Is the fair game review the trusts independent review of finances? Or are they just overreaching again?

Fair Game don't as far as I can tell, produce anything. I think the club are just handing over the accounts they wish to publish and then getting Fair Game to say they look right. The org looks a bit self serving to me - sort of like a pressure group to try and get more money from the TV deal. I'd be interested to know the collective Losses and Debt for the clubs who have signed up for example, if this was truly about teams wanting to run within their means. |

Yeah i agree, I was more coming from a point of view of why is the trust arranging this - James soencer wanting to do his mates one last favour before departing |

Absolutely no chance they will pay for undersoil heating  They’d need a few football pitches of solar power to carry that one off. |

You can turn the ''autocorrect after space'' thing off. I tend to keep ''auto capital after period'' on but anything else like autocorrect is off. Sometimes will do a select all and spellcheck but yeah the auto after space thing can be a bit frustrating. Unless you're actually a Nazi, then as you were  |

Can someone from the Trust put this question forward at the next advisory board and with a conclusive answer the following month please. By conclusive, I mean that I don't want the answer in the AB minutes to be ''we will check and get back to you on this'':
Q: The club has lots of small sponsors for many different things. From toilets to handkerchiefs and no doubt there is also a sponsor for the ghosts of Beversbrook now but on a serious note - could I ask if these sponsors ran their own due diligence on the club, before putting any sponsor funds forward to the club?
I appreciate this may take some time but I'm certain Anthony Hall is a very competent CEO; there should be plenty of records noted where such due diligence requests were submitted by potential sponsors. After all, they are handing over funds from their business to the club or possibly for services rendered so this shouldn't be too difficult.
If no data at all can be provided at all, or an answer comes back suggesting that no potential sponsor requested due diligence then I would be very surprised indeed.
