I wonder how much the running costs of hillsborough are. This is something that won’t be the responsibility of the club anymore and fall to DC/his wife/whichever company owns the ground
Why is there a ‘need’ for this to be dealt with this season?
Any ‘offence’ hasn’t occurred in this season so the likes of Barnsley haven’t been impacted by this during this season
Although, weren’t the latest accounts extended by 3 months so the loss was over a 15 month period rather than 12. Obviously the loss on the latest accounts will be huge regardless
Nothing on Sky or Coral either. They won’t be offering a market as they won’t want to get burned. Betfair on the other hand, they win whatever the outcome on the exchanges so will continue to offer
Plus Betfair aren’t a bookie in the truest sense, just facilitating people betting against each other.
cant see relegation markets with many of the mainstream bookies, probably because it’s all such a mess and they don’t know what’s happening!
What were the losses the year before the ground sale? Circa £2m profit on the last accounts (including ground sale).
Although, P&S losses are not the same as total losses per the accounts. Certain things can be deducted out for P&S purposes
Maybe they have to wait a set period of time before decisions can be made public? Allowing a set time frame for appeals to be made. The decision above looks like it was announced 2 full weeks after the hearing.
