forgive my interjection but this has turned into a cracking thread that has brought back many memories for me from a different school at a different time.....

 

what has really struck me is the sense of kinship that has run its finger of fate through the school and into the football club....something that 35 quid can never buy...

 

excellent.. applause

One thing that has to be good regarding all this though,is that the clubs economy will become more transparent for the fans of Ebbsfleet United.

I have seen a great deal of guessing what the operational loss could be,and alot of surprise when the numbers were revealed.

At least from now on,it will not come as a surprise for EUFCs fans on this board if the club will continue to operate at a loss of 28K per month(or whatever).

I do not understand the need of secrecy regarding matters like this.It must be better that the fans knows the situation instead that just a couple of people on the board knows about it.There seems to be a lack of action taken in many cases like this,and hopefully that will become better when all the fans knowing what the clubs day to day economy really is.

The right measures to try and correct a too big operational loss should be taken earlier and with more understanding because of the greater transparicy.

That can only benefit the club IMO.

Claudius, I still feel that Myfc members will only be told what the bosses want them to know. There will be legal reasons for this so I don't think the glass will be totally transparant, just a little frosted.

Who said anything about friends?

Just because a few of us attended the same school thirty years ago doesn't mean that we are friends, it just means that when we argue about what formation Liam should play there's a fair chance that the post will be punctuated. smile

Only by a few...we are lucky to have access to UU's fully informed knowledge of the exact financial situation with our club.

I'll look forward to a daily online update of the ledgers and balance sheet.

What era are you referencing? I remember Bourne and his coke-bottle glasses, but none of the others you mentioned?

In my time we had Keith Williams, Jarvis, Watson-Wemys, Ed Stead, Johnny "Rotten", Barry Effing Roberts, Chesty Morgan, Dave Turner, Commie Pete and Pete Sanderson was the HM...

Are you lot before or after me...??
