Re: Spennimoor
I mean using data. All players are assessed using the same data. Then the manager has the final say. 3 scouts will view the same player completely differently. If you have video analysis with stats then this can not be done. The video is there for all to see. I'll use an unconventional example: Barn...

Re: Interesting interview with AFC Wimbledon Director
@spen666 Some great points there, I suppose Darlington can be seen to have been a bit of a villain in the local business community due to past regiemes. However, I would hope they can see the work done by the Supporters over the last 6 years and the aim to run a sustainable club based around the com...

Re: Spennimoor
I had a look at the DFC accounts, we dont make much in terms of net transfers. The only way to become successful on a fan based club budget is to unearth some talent and sell it on at a significant gain. To do this you need a proper structure for recruitment and player development, which doesn't mea...

Interesting interview with AFC Wimbledon Director
A great interview with one of the original directors of AFC Wimbledon, a club who had to start all over again like ourselves and even though they are in League 1 they rely on volunteers and the supports group. Some interesting comments about how they engage their supporters and the local community a...

Re: Southport - Sat 16th Feb
I used to like the half time shoot outs .... still remember my two penalties I scored at the Holgate End in our competition at Ayresome Park.
Need to engage the kids, the tickets are free for under 11, maybe we should offer secondary schools free tickets ?

Why on earth would anyone with half a business brain employ someone on a salary with the likelihood we would get no profit on their salary.

Re: Southport - Sat 16th Feb
Average attendance this season has been around 1350, needs to be closer to 2000 if we are going to kick on. Good point regarding converting the fans via a one off game in a relegation scrap, it isn’t ideal and not many convert into repeat customers. Maybe some fans will return and we add an extra 20...

Re: AGM
I think financially we have hit a ceiling, the latest accounts show a big jump in turnover but and equal % Jump in wages ... I think we are around 50% wages/turnover ratio. Issue is that jump hasn’t meant better performances. Also having all these players from the midlands must increase the wage cos...

Re: Curzon V Darlington
Good stuff today in the second half. What I noticed today watching FA Cup is those vests players wear. I believe they have a gps tracking system and spit out all sorts of data. I think we should fund raise for them and make our semi professional setup a little more professional. It’s small investmen...

Re: Club Accounts
Seems a big jump without those fees in, needs a narrative I think.
The playing costs are very high and a 80k loss is big, unsustainable in the long term.

Re: Club Accounts
I think legal and professional would include:
Accounting costs for doing year end accounts
Various legal advice around player contracts
I think it’s a good idea to put some sort of commentary together on the figures for members to understand the figures better.
