Re: Golf mates

Had a trip with Lady G to Kirkby Lonsdale for lunch today. Several nice eateries In Kirkby and a good staycation place for anyone fancying a KL, Bentham golf course double. KL, I find to be like good olives; something one comes to truly appreciate all the more with age. To think, in my late teens I...

Re: Statement of Capital

Didn’t someone sell up? Nick Mason? Sharon shares business interests with Nick Mason and he does seem to have been involved in some undisclosed way. He's never been a director of FVWL, never had FVWL shares in his name and has no known interest in footie. Two people dropped out at an early stage, P...

Re: Statement of Capital

Just for you gudnib - Marc Iles, fingers on the pulse: https://twitter.com/marciles/status/1494388886574931970?s=21 Could it be the power of The Wanderer or Bolton Nuts that's caused FV to pull their finger out? In my experience conspiracies are almost always accompanied by cock-ups. There have pla...

Re: Statement of Capital

Whereas it's the height of sophistication to keep hinting at subterfuge, without ever actually saying anything. I'm actually saying that the directors are in breach of their duties under company law and the law is there for a reason. I don't know why they are not complying; its not difficult and sh...

Re: Statement of Capital

I had an unexpected surprise yesterday. No it wasn't a Valentine's Day card from Professor Claptrap; Dale Vince's Green Britain Group filed its 2021 accounts. They'd applied for and got a three months filing deadline extension but only used half of it. CH wouldn't let me open the envelope until toda...

Re: Evatt em. Skid marks at the Pirelli. V Burton Albion Away, Tues. 15th Feb.1945.

My view is we play our strongest XI. Where Evatt thinks that's not possible, I'm sure he'll let us know, through his selection. Regarding John, last season, he played 21 times after joining us in Jan - so I think he'd good for it :-) [/quote] That's my view too. Its a long-shot to go for the play-of...

Re: Statement of Capital

I think there were others in this loan to shares conversion, but we were the ‘biggest’? More press interest incoming then! At the last count there were 265 companies converting BBB loans between £1million and £5million into minority shares of doubtful value. 18 were in the North West. Eight were in...

Re: Statement of Capital

Still no sign of the missing shareholder info but Sharon's looking for more 'investment' according to Nixon. £5million isn't to be sniffed at but it never did seem enough.

Re: Can we Endeavour to solve the Oxford Puzzle? Away to The Uni, Sat 12 Feb, 3-0'clock.

Got my fag packet out again. Sunderland are the "weakest" of the top six and, on current ppg, will finish on 79 points. So, we need 35 points from 15. Something like 11 wins, a couple of draws and two defeats. Not exactly scientific, I know, but, I think it's going to take a quite remarkable run in...

Re: Statement of Capital

There's plainly a stink going on over the activities of the British Business Bank. Keir Starmer referred to it at PMQs yesterday. We may not have heard the last of it.

Re: Statement of Capital

Thank you - greatly appreciated, Gudnib. I've said before that the 8% issued to the government's agents in return for the £5million loan seems devoid of commercial reasoning and alarmingly unrealistic. Was it devised to ensure that Sharon remained in control of more than 50% of the shares and there...

Gudnib - apologies if you've covered this off before, and you probably have, but briefly, what's this amount showing as owing to Prescot Business Park Limited about? No apology needed, Bruce. PPB was formed in 2010 as a £100 company. 80 x £1 shares were issued to the billionaire owner of Home Barga...

Pleased to see that the red card has been rescinded and Santos is available to play tonight.
Not heard about Santa's red though.

Re: Statement of Capital

The red warning notice has finally been put up on the Companies House website. I expect that will mean that warning notices will also have been sent to each of the directors. Its not the crime of the century but, having received £5million of taxpayers money, FV should be doing better.

I know that a number of Morecambe fans are worried about the return match atmosphere being hostile especially after the game. I personally think that our fans should on this occasion be encouraged NOT to attend but we both know that if fans are determined to go then no amount of persuasion will sto...

Re: Statement of Capital

Apparently the £5m loan/gift was mentioned by a member at ST's recent AGM. I understand Neil Hart answered with what sounds a lot like the usual spin. Sharon's well past the legal time limit for filing the shareholder details but there's still time for her to apply to extend the accounts filing dead...

So you don't think there's any truth to the claims of racism then?
I certainly don't believe there was in Peter Duffy's case. I don't know Santa and don't know what he said or might have said.
