I never left a game early before Slade became manager. I ended up leaving the last 2 home games under him early, one being with half an hour to go.

CT weren't that far off then.

Not a chance. Never seen us win anything in my lifetime, so it was special. It was the perfect day. It should also help put to bed this myth that the team always lets us down on the big stage/when there's a big attendance. A real culture-breaker.

Bayliss hasn't signed a deal yet because it's not been put in front of him.

I'd have liked to see Richie Gray in there as well as at least 1 of the Scottish starting back row. Also surprised to see no Jamie Heaslip, injured I take it?

If any side were to have a lot of players miss out it should have been Wales. Well below par for the Six Nations and very few stand-out players nowadays. Scotland should have at least 5 in the squad.

And I have admitted there will be a hole that needs filling. But to suggest they haven't budgeted for the close season is either idiotic on your part or criminally negligent from a financial director.

So a seasonal business would not forecast to retain cash to cover expenditure when income is low? Alrighty then. Say you run a business and are planning a 2 week holiday, you save up money to cover the loss of income for those 2 weeks. You don't tell your mortgage and utilities providers that...

Saphir Du Rheu for me as well. Backed him in the Gold Cup to no avail, but the last time I did that and didn't back the same horse in the National, Many Clouds romped it and I missed out on a decent payday.

See that I never understood. To move breakeven turnout from 11k to 14k would need some serious miscalculation. A swing of 25%? Virtually impossible to do as a mistake. Coincidentally when we were significantly exceeding their quoted BE value.

Funny you should say that, its Accounting & Financial Management.

Cash flow? I dunno. Trick question maybe?

Ah, silly me. I'll Wikipedia it now.

I think the point is that the budget should take into account the fact that income will be down for May/June/July. Besides, the season ticket sales will give some revenue. The operating loss you've pointed out is exactly the issue - the trading income of ticket sales and TV rights are dwarfed by...

Purple shirt and dodgy shoes?

Currently sat on Nelson's Column :woot:

Block 231, 5 tickets purchased. Love how it will show up on my bank statement as "Otium Entertainment Group".

Think it's been mis-phrased. You can choose which block you want to sit in but not a specific seat. They will allocate on a 'best available' basis within that block.

I'm gutted for my dad to be honest, missed the cup final in 87 and is going to miss this due to being on holiday (though he did go to the charity shield). Considering we'd both spoken of packing up our season tickets after this year it would have been a nice way to end.
