Not sure if I,m reading these properly but it appears or administive expenses are £440,462 compared to £301,346 £504,000 Goverment grant £132,969 Job retention scheme It seems to me that if it's good it goes to SPP, with all the shit being dumped on the football club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 1 hour ago, Michael W said: How much did the floodlights cost? That year would include the £500k covid grant and also the c£100k raised by the fans when lockdown started, which is a £450k gap... Edit: answering my own question, the amount is £145k, from the notes to the accounts (capital commitments). Not clear to me if that's included in the accounts or not. I also have no idea why the club is paying for something that Starks Park Properties is the beneficiary of. On the plus side, the club has an additional £200k in cash that it didn't have in the previous financial year. That £145k will appear in this year's accounts. It's basically a spend that the club have committed to without meeting the necessary requirements for it to be booked in that year's accounts. I had thought a figure of £250k was mentioned for the floodlights but it could be that some of that expenditure was incurred in the 2021 accounts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to be cynical, but Tait was equally behind a lot of the early success…and disappeared at nearly the same time…just saying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baillieinleeds Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 This always gives me the chills. I was there and it looked like we were gone. Until this happened. I miss Chris Duggan for his tenacity, the injuries this guy sustained was so unfair. I miss that fight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing cynical about it. Having to bring in basically a new midfield, neither of whom were as good as they replaced certainly didn't help. I don't get Sam Stanton. He's a classy footballer, yet never seems to positively influence a game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly quality there but I don't think he exerts as much influence as we were led to believe he would. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 I feel for Stanton a wee bit. He's basically landed in a team that's gone on a horrible run. I agree that we expected more from him, but I don't know that anyone's good enough to counteract that full momentum swing singlehandedly. I think he'll be a useful player next season, but more than any one individual's performances, the manager needs to sort out the balance in the midfield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, and not to repeat myself indefinitely but with most of a squad already signed up, we can't afford a scattergun signing policy in the summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably reading far too much into this, but it was noticeable he was a very peripheral figure in the cup final celebrations. A couple of the players also alluded to him never saying anything on the team coach. He's probably just a quiet guy who keeps himself to himself, but it could be he's not settled. It might be that he's not enjoyed our more direct style of play the last couple of months. Who knows. Things could change a lot for both us and him in the summer though so all isn't lost yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been enough parallels to the Grant Murray era this season without you bringing him up. Someone I had totally forgotten about.

Every close season he'd fix the part of the team that had been problematic during the season, and every close season a different part of the team would break. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverarover Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Maybe the £500,000 we got from the Covid business payment (it's in the figures) went towards the lights? If it wasn't for that payment we would have been in a real financial hole.Shuffling of money. Unless the clubs don't have to prove what the money was used for, there is no chance covid money could be used fo lights. Maybe used to set up the ticketing system for starters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
