I recall AP saying at a fans forum that when he ran the SMC it never made a loss but since he ceased to be Chairman it has never made a profit. I don't know if its true, but he was clearly referring to Bartlett and Allam.

Slightly OT but Allam's comments regarding the Labour Party and trade unions once again show a staggering ignorance of history and tradition. In his world bluster, bullying and money trump all that's gone before.

And yet they didn't. My impression fwiw was that they had a more conciliatory attitude around the Whiteley-gate stuff after the offer/threat was made.

The profits and losses [ireported[/i will be accurate, but there's more to accountancy than just arithmetic.

Plus the stadium was younger then. How much was the new pitch? I can't recall exactly, but it was a few Mark Sneyds wasn't it?

.....Cost over a million - so reducing the pitch size by 10% will have saved £100k+

Rumours about on certain social media sites tonight that, after they have taken a host of West Stand seats off us in the sponsors area the Stadium Management company now won't allow us to open the north end for anything but the Rovers games next season.

And the spineless council will stand by and watch

Blimey. Such a force for good in the city's sporting landscape.

Indeed.

It's a shame our owner had such a public falling out with allam

Sure is , It's the folks who like to sit in E1,2 and 3 that I feel sorry for if the City model is followed. I think that this after the movement of fans in the West, it could effect attendances at a critical time. Which I guess the cynical amongst us would say it is designed to do.

Relentless, incremental pieces of damage to attempt to dilute our fans' sense of attachment to the club and our mutual home. Wow. The flame of sporting philanthropy must burn so bright it scorches.
