It looked like something close to their first team to start so not sure what was up with them. All a bit strange.

The team that started will be most of the team that starts next week. Ignore the numbers. We were all over them but I have to wonder about their commitment to the game. Preseason friendlies never really tell you all that much. You were in the right place at the right time. It's limited to 24...

I know there isn't a lot of love for us on here but I thought I'd try and fill in some of the details. There isn't much easily available free land in a cornubantion like Bournemouth. After several years of looking for a suitable site, the club finally managed to buy a golf course and will be...

No, in the accounts the figures for this part are both comparable. As mentioned above I'm referring to the attendance comparison table that is included in the article. If AFCB understated their income in the official accounts they'd be getting a knock on the door from a friendly HMRC...

Agreed. For accounting purposes the numbers in the published accounts will of course be revenue raised, irrelevant of whether the person turned up. My point was that somewhere in the article was a table that compared attendance figures and in that table he isn't comparing like-with-like...

I know for a fact that AFCB announce people in the stadium rather than tickets sold. Pretty much every home game post Christmas this season was home sellout and some pre-Christmas as well yet the attendances fall well short of that. Even allowing for away teams that didn't sell all their...

Pretty magnanimous. Cheers and the same to you. This season for you can only really have been an aberration so I'm sure you'll be up there somewhere.

As I said, it was just as a general rough guide. As has been pointed out some other things can be included but aside from the academy mentioned there are other things not included. Its already been pointed out above that staff wages are included - fair enough, I didn't think they were - but set...

For the purposes of FFP, no they don't. The costs that are considered what I would term first team football costs eg transfer fees and wages. So, for example, your rather splendid and also rather expensive academy doesn't count towards your numbers for your FFP calculation. I'm sure there are...

The accounts don't have to be wrong to be presenting figures slightly differently under the same heading. There's an actually an awful lot you can do with the numbers which is totally legal but can paint very different pictures of the same business. And that's just basic accounting that you...

Now sure if it is willful ignorance or genuine lack of understanding of the rules. If the rules state you can lose £8 million in a season and so you set your budget so that you lose £8 million in the season because the owner wants to invest as much as he can within the rules... with turnover...

You all seem quite happy to take the word of the person on another message board who quoted a buy-out clause of £1.1 million but ignored the other on the same board that quoted it at £2.2 million. I have some news on that, and you can take this at face value or ignore it, I don't really mind...
