Is that an obsticle or an obstacle?  You can’t buy an ejukayshun down in Sandbanks then?

Nice one Shirley

Sandbanks is a varied place..lived there myself until we moved to Canada..you have the outer circle homes on the beach and waterfront side..then the inner properties with no water frontage..then the houses with dual water frontage on the way to the peninsula..expensive but zero privacy..then the Evening Hill end..depends where you are whether you had an education ?

Which ones Harry's. 

Personally, I think the main obsticle moving forward is the uncertainty of any further points deduction.

I do think that this needs fully publishing for the whole football world to be aware of what is happening to show some Gibson types for what they are and to send a message to clubs like QPR that things may well come back to haunt you.

Exactly, but where are the clued up investigative journalists when you want them?

Had a heart rules head owner perhaps time for a head rules heart one.

Would be interesting to see Gibson take him on.

If Mike Ashley was to take over, I'd call it a day on football.

What would be wrong with him Rev?

Four games in a week’s a bit tough on Gibraltar. ?

Did the administrators say that even though HMRC were preferred creditors they would not necessarily get all the money owed?

Yes, that's my understanding

Does the disparity suggest Covid is still an issue for many supporters?

I imagine that will have some bearing as the older supporters will no doubt be more cautious. Personally I also think we are at or around our hard core support level.

I'm a bit of a saddo so here is the latest seat availability:

East Stand; 2084

North Stand: 3261

South Stand: 416

West Stand; 2373

Total available for sale: 8134

I saw it on the DCFC website earlier today. It's genuinly come from the administrators.

That is different.

Agree. Its also been spotted on linkedin (see below)

Whilst I accept they will have a duty to cast the net, I'm confused why they're doing it in such a public way. They must get hundreds of timewasters & reet funny opposition fans emailing off the back of these.

Also not encouraging that the 2/3 serious parties are close to securing a quick deal, unless these adverts are a box tick exercise to demonstrate Quantuma did try to look for a better/the best option before completing an imminent sale.

No way is that genuine. 

Looks like an attendance of around 20,000

MSD put the club into admin according to the administrators.

Who were praised by Mel 

Proof again that the tabloids basically just make it up. 

I thought it was interesting that they said that because of administration even the preferential creditors (HMRC) will have to take a hit on what they are owed. Said Wigan was 25% etc. If MM still in charge this couldn't be done. Inference I guess that this needed to happen to get the sale.

Plus 3000 empty in the away end…

Yes, we have sold around 18,000 home tickets so far. Still plenty of time for this to gather pace.

Dad and grandad were rams. Took me and my brother with them. Used to go into the boys enclosure then be pulled up to go back to dad. After a lifetime, with dad and grandad long gone I'm now the grandad and although we live 200 miles away both my son and grandson are now Rams.

So administrators appointed and the Dell charge crystallises on all the assets of the various group companies including bank accounts.

Where are administrators going to get £1.5m or however much it is to pay wages between now and next Thursday?

Mel when he pays for the stadium.

Mel keeps is a nice little present. 

Looks like Mel hasn't paid for it yet. Merely received the invoice to satisfy FFP. DCFC via the administrators may have a windfall coming in cash terms. From Mels perspective he gets refunded over time through any rental agreement with the club. Sounds like a win win to me.

To be honest I had assumed you the same (laziness on my part).

If you look further down, in the notes to the accounts, the creditor is 'amounts owed to group undertakings'.

So, G Star... What might this mean in cash terms for the club?
