This from Mansfield Town is a great gesture....

...as Rovers are presently on the Skids...should anyone want to post anything about the game...here’s the thread...

One to pose to @4,000 Holes - I think Scott was hoping to be “back on Kidder St” by now...

It does so this is your last chance to put through those iFollow receipts as “wholly & necessarily business expenditure...” 😉

You are a man after my own heart...

I suppose we should start talking about this one now... Something about Roger Jones, John Bond, Ted MacDougall, Phil Boyer #OnesForTheTeenagers

A lot of people make a lot of money doing the exact opposite...

Was it Oliver Kay (now Athletic, formerly Times) who attended the KGH fans meeting ? Can anyone confirm ?

I think the number of signatures is less important than the quality of the content & the content is really well written & presented.

It is...any disposal over book value is profit. However, when calculating profit for FFP purposes, certain expenditure in infrastructure is allowable. Therefore, if this land is sold, for FFP it generates a positive inflow, then if that cash is spent on redeveloping the academy site, that is allowable so net on net, it improves our FFP calculation.

Are you an Atalanta fan ? 😉

One of Sheffield’s most famous addresses...😉

Oh Lordy....😳

I agree - my posting of the Sunderland stuff was to demonstrate that even if you know what will be checked, approval isn’t a given, it has to be earned by a robust evidence trail. Look at what they had to do after being rejected...it’s an exhaustive process.

Sunderland’s initial application was rejected & they revised their approach when they re-applied. I guess it’s like preparing for a health inspection in a restaurant....you know what could be checked, but if you don’t prove it, you don’t get the accreditation. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/sunderland-academy-category-one-reid-17710283

Nobody can give guarantees re Category 1 status - it’s an independent audit process. Think of it like a pseudo-Ofsted inspection. All anyone can do is look at the requirements & make the case that you are meeting them. If the auditors agree then you gain/keep your accreditation. This is Sunderland’s story... https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/sunderlands-academy-retains-elite-category-17692854
