observer auction

assuming that the auction went ahead,then surely the ground would not be up to league standard. would this mean game cancellations and income drying up again?

Yes, they would still go ahead. It just means everybody would have to stand up (inc boardroom staff), fetch a torch for the night matches, not be able to give away signed shirts and borrow Karl's megaphone for the half time announcements ;)
 
Find it hard to believe that HMRC would employ a company to sell off some of our assets for a debt under ten grand.

Well, I think I've just committed myself to pay £800 for the seats,(They'll look well on my decking) so, that leaves the rest of you to find £9200 for the board room stuff & the pylons.....

What I want to know, who will bid for Eric's head on a pole???

(Sorry, Eric, I worked next to you at EE in 1964, wouldn't really wish you any harm!)

Surely if they are bringing torches, they may be giving away
SINGED shirts!
 
Right guys, I've had a bit of fun on this thread, cannot believe you are SO SERIOUS!

Hopefully not offended any of you by appearing so flippant with my posts, but we all need to remember JC's tag line

KEEP THE FAITH!

IK will see us through, I am sure.
 
I should think the beer barrels in the club house won't attract any bidders should they go under the hammer. ;) Although there is always a demand for laxatives and rat poison. :)
 
Why does it always take an uproar on a forum to make them write something on the website in response... why cant they just put it anyway??????

Auction advert in local press
Accrington Stanley is aware of an advert in the local press regarding a public auction of a number of the club's assets.

This relates to our month nine HMRC payment of around £32,000 that was due on 22nd January. It is no secret that we have had problems with our cashflow due to several postponed matches and with two of our major sponsors going into liquidation, and for this reason the bill was not paid on time.

We have paid a total of £23,000 of the debt, the remaining amount will be paid on Monday and the auction will not go ahead.

Transparency ??


Article in this mornings Bellylaugh reports 'Stanley Windfall' will help to meet tax bill.

They have received the 20k from Scunthorpe for Bobby Grant's appearances. Not sure if this was part of the 23k paid or it's next months

I feel totally scammed by this. I saw the billboard and was curious, 43p for a paper thinner than a Kleenex tissue :eek::D
 
Should've waited for the article to come on line Dave but on the bright side, if you tear it into nice little squares you could hang it on the tardis loo in case anyone gets caught short on a Monday or Wednesday :)

Good idea :D
 
Surely if any assets are to be auctioned off the bailiff's must have been round to count and value these assets. The statement on the official site says that the auction is off but it does not tell us how it was arrived at in the first place. Rob Heys made a statement the other week stating that everything was under control, surely he knew about this auction then.
 
Probably so jeff, but was statement he made before the postponements? that could have a bearing? step back a min n think,the fact a statement like this is on fishy, fer my money is a first? so i think things are slowly goin in the right way, hope club have the nous to include it in next weeks beano, thus explaining to a wider public.;)
