The DTB have shown to be as financially prudent as Rachel from Accounts.

I'm sure with hindsight they won't trust member surveys moving forwards

It clearly wasn’t cautious because the reality is we’re at less than 50% of that.

OI. Members said they would invest £3 million in a bond issuance. The £1.7 million was cautious budget against the £3 million

Clearly this statement is totally wrong : "the Club budgeted cautiously for £1.7 million in bond sales". No you didn't budget cautiously, you made a wild guess.

[Link] The tone of this is just classic for the state out of leadership at the moment. “We’re doing a great job and the problem here is everything else other than us, including you. You said you’d raise £3m so we budgeted cautiously for £1.7m and now we’re in trouble because of you.”

Didn't MK win L2? Oh see what ypu mean!

Trig/CW - that is how Woodman won L2 last season (something we've not done since 1983) playing long passes (rather than long balls) and it worked really well. Sadly this season he does not have the squad that can do this at the higher L1 level. We could do so if we add a Stockley#2 to the squad - rest of the squad could hack it, I'm sure.

I’m actually surprised we have got as much as we have

The risk attached with the new bonds is much much higher than the halycon days for fan-owned clubs of five+ years ago.

Airsy, think that's all part of a grand plan to "gentrify" football" since the hooligan days of the 1970s.

Rather a desperate-sounding update on the PLB- it’s clear that the amount raised is stuck at less than £0.7m, which is a more than £1m shortfall compared with an always-unrealistic budgeted amount of £1.7m. Sadly, I don’t think that email appeals are going to make much difference, as the rate on offer is no longer attractive as a rational investment, given the heightened risk of default and administration, and the recent events around DT elections means that the whole “ we own our club” idealism has largely died.

I get where you’re coming from DO I’d like nothing more than to play two big brutes up front and knock the ball into them relentlessly with smaller, nippier midfielders there to pick up the spoils - especially in L1 & L2 where defenders rarely get clean contact on crosses and high balls. Sadly CW is right and the game has pretty much ruled out that style of play with the terminally dull possession obsession. Plus the PGMOL would have a field day with us for playing football as if it were a contact sport.

OTD shows how mad football is nowadays - 30p is the equivalent of £4.71 today

Come on you club owning lovers,get you wallet and purse out, the club needs your bond money,.650k so far,no near the budget set

DO- that was over 40 years ago times have changed

I would have Woodman as AFCW manager at the drop of a hat if he was available when JJ leaves. Plays long passes, POMO, HAFSOG - everything Bassett stood for with us - and that went okay!

Unless there are problems off pitch at Bromley I wouldn’t expect them to sack Woodman this season. They must know that they’ve broken through their glass ceiling and survival in L1 is unlikely.

A4E - we've seen it with AFCW - when you go behind, you don't believe that you can get back into it. Our second goal yesterday must have absolutely mentally killed them

Woodman in his 5 years has2 promotion and won the FA Trophy and has a 43.3 % win rate 👏

Good point REPD - they did look at times as if they had already given up last night…

Morning all. Don't think Bromley will sack their manager just yet, on the basis doing so probably won't make that much difference

Hash - surprised Bromley haven’t…

Wycombe have sacked their manager

Well done the away fans - heard you all game!! Stockley and Sweeney both seem to have been good signings so far too :)
