Something doesn't add up in my simple mind. I think a forensic accountant is required. :shock:
I don't think any of us fans are in a position to judge whether the money has been spent legitimately or not, because we don't have access to the accounts and (most of us) never will.

It IS within the realms of possibility that these debts could have been racked up through no fault of the Beasants, maintainance etc. We must bear that in mind.
They say we've lost our money we're not famous anymore.....

I plan to make a pledge for a season ticket tomorrow however i cannot pay in cash as i dont have to funds until i get paid until towards the end of the month. I notice that in todays ET it says that 'cheques will not be banked they will held' Im more than happy to give a post dated cheque but surely we need instant funds with the HMRC bill on the horizon? Can anyone clear this up?

Cheers

Also how much are people paying for an adult season ticket? According to the OS the standard price is £330. Obviously given the dire situation i assume that most people are wavering the 'early bird' discount?

You can pay the early bird, but the more money you can afford to give, the merrier.

I've just started sorting out an article on Season Ticket Prices. The details that I had to hand was Kidderminster. I could get a Season Ticket there for £89 (Student). £220 at R&D! :roll:

I'll make a table for comparison over the next few days.

Good day from Oregon, across the Atlantic.

I've been a Diamonds fan for 12 years now though I've only managed to make it to one game. I don't know how much I can donate right now, it's definitely less than £300 or else I would buy a season ticket, but is there a way I can do this online and in US dollars?

Good to have you aboard Timbers, please feel free to spread the word over the pond to everyone you know. We need all the donations we can get. $5 here, $5 there it'll all add up 8-)
