Club finances - last year's figures released

grey_til_I_dye

During the First World War, my granddad signed up for the army, but they were so short of weapons, they had to train with broomsticks as guns, and lollipop sticks as bayonets.

When they wanted to fire the rifle, they had to shout 'Bang bang', and when they wanted to use the bayonet they had to shout 'stabby stab'.

When they got to the front line, nothing had changed, and they were sent over the top with their makeshift weapons.

To my grandfather's amazement, when he took aim and shouted 'bang bang' a German soldier fell. In close up quarters, his squad saw off a group fighting hand to hand, using 'stabby stab' effectively.

Then their luck ran out, as over the top of the ridge came a 20 stone German going 'rumble rumble, tank tank.

Which gives you another tick in the 'reasons to slag off the Board' column, but doesn't really help things improve. Assuming that's what you would like to see. And assuming we can't go back in time. ;wink

Well not really - it is pointing out what ultimately caused them to lose control of stewarding - them. No-one forced them to take on the OS against their will. They put themselves and the club in that situation.

I'm not sure if anyone has asked. Are we still £100 million pound in debt?
