And since the Club is VAT registered around 20% of all gate receipts will have to be accounted for and handed to HMRC. That £60k a year is now looking somewhat smaller!

Love that Chas, he's just an internet troll throwing out anti AFCR&D bait and revels in getting people to nibble:

Let them get on with it!! The more they write about us the more media attention we get, they're contradicting themselves!

No one likes us, we dont care. I think too many of us are to worried about what others think of us and more worried about making friends, lets just win football matches.

Before I go on I should point out that I have nothing whatsoever against Kevin. Now I've said that i can say what the hell I like about him and just point out my disclaimer, so whatever I say doesn't matter. It's not meant to offend, so doesn't matter if it actually does.

You have the benefit of knowing him and if you say he's not that bad then fair enough, but it's hard for anyone to take some .. ok most of the things he says as anything other than thinly disguised anti-AFC rhetoric. 'Just a comment about the medias facination with the club', oh come on, what was the other 80% of his post about then???

Now I may have a basic understanding of football than a lot of people but even I can work out that even though 700 x £5 x 18 may very well exceed £60k, but is about as realistic as K*tterings chances of surviving at Nene park. Even I know we're not going to maintain that kind of attendance throughout the season and that's not even taking into account the half price concessions and Under 16s, the free Under 8s and Under 16 members, discounted Season Ticket and Six Pack holders which all accounted for a sizeble chunk of the atendance. For someone who is the Secretary of a UCL club, who obviously knows better, well, there's that smell again.

And yes of course there will be changes to people about the club, as there is in every other club up and down the country and I'm sure there will be some of us still there in many years to come, as there are in every other club up and down the country. Who knows what the future will bring?? I haven't a clue, neither does Kevin, it just seems to be an attempt of trying to find something negative to say about nothing.

And as for the rest of it, I have other stuff to be getting on with so won't bore you all by picking it apart, you could probably all do it yourself anyway. But, as has been pointed out here and elsewhere, the only people that seem to be saying stuff like, 'we're going to breeze through the leagues', 'we must win this league this season, failure is not an option', 'we have to get back to the same level we were before' seems to be everybody except us.

But hang on it's all ok as he's pointed out he was just trying to "balance the scales against the NLP article", how noble of him. So he won't mind if we all do the same to anything positive about any other UCL club then. I'm sure everyone will be happy for us to just 'balance the scales' on anything posted on the UCL Facebook page. Bound to win us a few more friends isn't it, but perfectly fine if it's bashing us.

So in short then, his post wasn't anti-us, but was negative as he was balancing out a positive article, but not in a negative way, it was purely positive negativity... or something...

Nice one Chas, I couldn't have put it better..............OK maybe I cou;d be I can't be arsed :lol:
