mmm, interesting - now you point this out, is it me, or has he always talked about 'the project', never the club?

[seethe mode] Well, seems there are going to be a whole load of new armchair supporters then. Good way to support your club. If you simply can't afford to renew or buy a new ST, fair do's. But don't just get p1ssy about the way things are right now and abandon your club - but I'm sure there's another 'local' club you could 'support' for a while. If you feel the 'quality' isn't worth the 'cost', I'm sure there are many 'better non-local' clubs you could 'support' [/seethe mode] Yes, bought mine and the missus' STs already - no matter what happens we'll be there. Just as we were in the Championship and L1. See, we're there for the journey, wherever it takes us and not for just the good times (but some built in seat-heating would make that journey a little easier on old bones)

From the little I understand about accounts (I'm self employed but have no idea what the hell goes in in my annual accounts - I tend to go to the end to see how much tax I've got to pay!).... Liabilities will include things like employees Income Tax, NI, VAT, Corporation Tax, Rates etc etc that were due to be paid when the accounts were done. Loans can be used to lower tax liabilities Staplewood is possibly marked as a Liability since it costs money to run, it does not generate income as an Asset would (your car is a liability, not an asset for example) - although it will have a notional net worth or value. Also any 'loss' you make can be offset against tax in the future. If you saw my accounts you'd think it was all about to go under, it isn't, doing ok as it happens, but that's not what it immediately looks like - but as my accountants say, they follow the most productive tax and accounting schema for my business, just as SFCs will. In other words, if you're not an accountant, you simply don't have all the knowledge to be able to make valid calls on the accounts of SFC. So, if any accountants happen to be passing by - what do the accounts look like?

di Matteo?

Well, my missus has picked up the rules now and the son was quite tasty on the ball a few years back, so with me shambling around in goal we're at least part way to a team for next season.

One thing I would not say about ANY away fans is that they're plastic! Not with the costs of travelling, the lottery of getting an away ticket and the like, especially for the bigger, long established clubs that regularly get the 50000 plus crowds. And all of them will have been ST holders I would think. We may not like away fans behaviour but they likely think the same of us when we're at their place. Plastics are the home fans around us that left the game early to miss the traffic (and regularly do so), those that gave up waiting for the lap of honour because they perhaps felt their time was being wasted. Yes, the 'dron'e' was truly annoying. Yes, we were quiet at times (as has happened at every home game this season). However, I thought the way we came back with 'Marching In' immediately after they scored was superb. Yes, we have a VERY limited, not particularly tuneful repertoire and, apart from our 'signature tune', seem to focus on two-liners about our players. So perhaps we're getting bored of the same old same old? ...now, if we had some more stuff to sing - I would love to see Fat Les's Vindaloo get adapted for us - now that would really get ppl signing I think.
