FoH , now replied to David Hogg query on number of Direct Debits cancelled.
Answer ...... " Almost none , still over 7600, incredible "
And it was right about David Hogg being a Hibby, his response is " Mugs ". :greengrin
PS . does anyone else think that FoH adding the word " incredible " was a Freudian Slip. :greengrin
off topic a tad but look at Bolton's debts
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25559504
Bolton have announced they are £163.8m in debt after parent company Burnden Leisure PLC released its figures for the year ending June 2013 - the club's first season in the Championship.
jeezo
Problem for the Yams is they own a stadium which could become a retail park.Quote:

The number hasn't gone up since November which would indicate they hit saturation pint quite quickly.

Let's just say they've had a 10% reduction in donations. What must the mystery backer(s) be thinking? (Assuming they knew about it) If it was me I'd seriously be reconsidering my offer and not paying as much money, which could royally **** things up for FoH. To be fair though they must know its a huge risk and be willing to take a hit.
It's "almost none" in relation to 400,000 jambos - which means they could have lost about 2000 and they can claim "almost none".Quote:

Next Satchel will be signing for Auchinleck Talbot for a better wage than the Yams can offer
GIRFUY Jambos

'Almost none' means there HAS been a drop - so how much is the 'Drop' ??
I think that there might be a bit of wishful thinking going on here regarding a drop in pledges unless anyone has any concrete info?
What I think should be more concerning for the jambos is that they still do not know who is bankrolling it. After all this time and all the pledges, surely it's time to reveal who it is?

Sobering figures, which I admittedly, just plucked out of the air, but no more or less valid than the ones made up by FOH.
Not that it matters a jot - they will get nowhere near to running the club as much as I would love to witness the shambles they'd exacerbate.
Liquidation looms.
...and this report by the European Commission might scupper any Council funding for a new stadium :aok:Quote:

They should be paying back with interest on their benefit from Scotland's National Performance Centre for Sport at some point in the future.Quote:
