MC_Lachlan Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Happy Ramsdens Cup day! I'd only just started seeing my current girlfriend of 6 years when the cup final happened and I managed to get a last minute ticket to the game, totally ditching her important plans. She wasn't happy at the time, but I sure as hell was. Best decision I ever made. When the goal went in I lost my wallet too, I spent the next 2 minutes scrambling around looking for it, for an auld codger to find it 2 rows ahead of me. What a day. I miss football. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers_Lad Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Yep,more or less what he said on the radio on Saturday although he did say that with the crowd funding and money handed into the club money raised was 55k 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 What are the massive outgoings other than the wages? I know the financial situation isn't healthy but really unsure what the crowfunding would go towards after players are on furlough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I would've thought 55k was probably a good sum for covering the last 4 home games, particularly with the players and staff furloughed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildrover Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Cant understand this, we had 4 home games left, take out season tickets and that's say 500 fans a game 10K a game equals 40K, all covered by the fans now, as I say it doesn't make sense??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I guess the prize money is built into the budget, hence with the league season not ending in May when it's supposed to, it leaves a cash flow issue somewhere down the line... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers_Lad Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Is it not the case the club/businesses dont see the furloughed money immediately?Seem to recall it wouldn,t be till June although its backdated till March 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Where is money going at the moment and are there some liabilities that need to be released based on income from prize money? I can only assume yes, because otherwise this does not make sense. What would be useful would be a statement of what we are still paying when 80% of wages are removed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure end of April is earliest employers will see this cash to pay staff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachbum Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 The following is part of a club statement from the Peterhead board today. The reimbursement package from HMRC for the scheme is not yet live and may take some months to finalise so we must meet wage commitments until we are compensated placing a large financial burden on the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm led to believe our playing budget is £41k per month. Very good interview again with Bill Clark. He's under the impression football won't be played until October at the earliest, which sounds bleak. ETA I have zero proof on that figure. It's friend of a friend stuff but can't be a mile away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paco Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 The interview with Bill Clark on the website is really at odds with the Courier article shown above. Seems to think we’ll be fine this month and next, the summer might get tricky but perhaps only if we have no clarity on which league we’ll be in as a) this means prize money still won’t have come in and b) season tickets can’t go on sale. He sounds very grateful for the fundraising that’s happened and it really is an amazing effort. Must be £55-£60k all in. New strips in the pipeline too which will hopefully be a great way to get some cash in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share Posted April 6, 2020 Yeah, can’t help but feel the courier article is a misrepresentation of what he’s said. We’ll be alright. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 It seems that all contracts due to expire in May or June will now be extended to cover any extension to the current season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
