Wishing all the moderators, posters, and visitors to CTO a very Merry Christmas and especially a Happy New Year, filled with joy, happiness, a lack of administration, and loads of points won by Scott K and the team to keep us free from playoffs or relegation.

Merry Christmas to all. Hope Santa was good to you.

First match I've been to this season. It was so refreshing to see us actually playing some football : also won most of the 50/50 balls and held possession pretty well. Second 45 mins play was hardly out of their half and it would have been soul destroying had we not picked up the 3 points. First match I actually enjoyed for many a season. Agree we need to score more goals. Defensive record is great but would be good to have easier wins now and again!

A bit of light reading for Christmas Merry Christmas to you all

This will focus minds over Xmas. https://www.gov.uk/company-director-disqualification James Stephen is required to report on that issue based on his findings. Some context. 28 February, 2023 and a very optimistic set of accounts. 'Notwithstanding the material uncertainty regarding income sources, the directors are satisfied that the company will be able to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.' The floating charge was then created on 21st December 2023. The next set of accounts that were made up to 30 May 2023 were delivered on 3 July 2024 and concluded 'Notwithstanding the material uncertainties described above, the directors consider it appropriate to continue to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.' Less than 4 months later on 24 October 2024 the company collapsed into administration.

Sorry, it was under his stewardship that we got into an untenable position spending left and right on 'big name' managers, Sports Director and an impotent CEO. Plus reducing income from hospitality, bar and other commercial ventures. Should he not have implemented belt tightening measures and some reliable means to generate income rather than gambling on concerts, battery farms and park and rides etc without any assurance they would succeed? Quite frankly any 'businessman' putting money into to a club our size and expecting a return is naive at best.

How much does this Bermuda Triangle cost and how many sledgers will be affected by a statue of Alan Savage being placed there?
