Accounts Released

Quoted from jamesgtfc

Whilst I take your point, ticket sales etc would have also been factored in then.

The wording suggests the £171k extra loss is the net effect ie after reflecting ticket sales. Presumably  the profit from the day itself would be minimal given the stadium costs etc.

I seem to recall at the time that ticket revenue from all of the play-off games was split across all member clubs in the NL, NLN and NLS. Therefore the financial impact to Notts County of limiting our away support was minimal and probably influenced their decision to try gain an advantage.

I had the ‘pleasure’ of getting a seat at the back of the main stand for the Luton game. Absolutely awful view, like watching footy through a letterbox. I full intended to ask to move into the Osmond but we scored a bit early and didn’t want to tempt fate !

Quoted from MuddyWaters

The problem with Annual Accounts is that they're basically a historical document by the time they are published.

Most of the club's good fortune has happened after the year end - basically the play off final, promotion, ST sales, McAtee fee and the cup run will all appear in 12 months' time.

Exactly that. And with the accounts not following the football season, it is impossible to gather the full picture, though the transparency should be lauded. Football accounts would make for much more lucid reading if they were all submitted for year end 31/05

That would apply to a new stadium as well I guess.

Wouldn't the fact there is already an existing structure there help us with planning?

If I was a resident I would prefer a new smart structure than the cobbled together stand as it is now.

It will be fascinating to see what the next few years bring.

There won't be any complaints from residents if a new stadium was built as part of the 3,800 houses planned for Grimsby West.

People should stop wasting their time on Earth fantasising about redeveloping Blundell Park.  It was constructed at a time when most people did not own cars.  The council would now have to consider traffic congestion.

Won't there be traffic congestion at the site of a new stadium? There is traffic congestion at every ground I've been to, new or old. It's once every couple of weeks in the season so not really a problem.

Unless you know something we don't I can't see how we could ever afford a new ground.

BP is a potentially more sustainable location in terms of traffic infrastructure than a brand new stadium at “Grimsby West”. BP is already served by a train station about 15-mins walk away, is located on the A180 and you’d imagine a large proportion of fans live a short walk away from the ground. Increasing capacity by 2-3k would have a lower impact on traffic than a brand new stadium in a residential area, only accessible by car.

You won’t be getting a job in Planning.

Oh intercourse off talking sense…

I’m a professional snowboarder and skateboarder, which should qualify me for a job as a masterplanner with Extreme Leisure Ltd.
