Operation Promotion was much more than the £110k it raised.

But when you're a narrow-minded Tory who only looks at things in terms of money - and not in terms of social bonding, loyalty, camaraderie and the positive knock-on effects it has on other areas of the club and the town in general - you end up insulting the fans by underplaying its true significance, because you don't understand it.

Take a moment to think about how much money you've put into the club over the years you've supported it - pies, pints, programmes, videos, DVDs, shirts, merchandise on top of tickets - and, as a proportion of your income I'd suggest you deserve to be treated much, much better than you currently are by Fenty and his awful regime.

Rich, I look forward to reading all of your posts and agree with pretty much everything you say, but can we leave politics out of this. The club is in a mess because JF is shite at running a football club. This holier than thou onslaught from the red side is going to lose you the next election. Everything red good, everything blue bad shoved in our faces when all we want to do is chat and moan about our football club does you no favours. I vote blue, are you saying I can't socially bond, be loyal or understand and contribute to social welfare? This recent political infiltration into football forums and hashtags bores the ars off me..

I agree ! Why is it that whenever some posters have a go at JF they have to bring his politics into it. If, as you say , being a Tory is narrow minded then all I can say is that when there is a Tory majority in Government then those MPs have been voted in by a majority of narrow minded people. That is a terrible thing to call a large percentage of the British voting public.

What has his politics to do with it? Surely you cannot be suggesting only Labour supporting non chairman make a decent job of it? Being a Tory politician is the least of his problems.

lol.

Fenty’s been called every name under the sun on this forum, his family have been abused, people have talked about his death, his daughters, his mental state...but the moment you call him a Tory you’ve crossed the line! hahaha ace

Not far off. Matchday receipts went up by about £200k. Retail/merchandise went up by £125k.

Interestingly the cash position also improved a lot too. Wonder if that was helped by £110k extra being poured into the coffers?

All the new revenue was not shown in accounts until the following season,anybody have a clue why ?

Please don't bad mouth my beloved Tories, it makes me sad.

FFS.

All politicians are girl privates. All.

I'm not sure but it could be due to the timing of the end of the financial year. I think Town's ends on 30 June.

I was going by the accounts for FY 15-16. Operation Promotion was in the June-July after season 14-15 finished. Financial year end is 31 May. So it stands to reason the accounts I quoted (15-16) are the right ones.

It's highly unlikely that the new revenue was not shown until 16-17 (our first year back in the League). Or do you have privileged information us mere mortals don't have access to?

No, but you're probably just misguided in your politics.  

Anyway, you can't divorce football from politics. Just look what's happened in the last 30 years in football and how it reflects changes in economics, society, globalisation.
