Being a local derby, I can see Exeter possibly winning it and us losing at Burton, which will make our bums start squeaking a little.

Anyone got any WD40 handy ? ;-(
I reckon Plymouth will ease past Exeter for that one. They’re in good form and have eyes on a playoff place. Reckon Blackpool might get a point at home vs Posh. Doncaster will get a point at home to unconvincing Reading. And Wigan will beat Mansfield who are the envious position of having nothing to play for.
10th Apr 2026 12:43:42 [195.lo.gg.ed]
With Burton beating us that will leave us still 4 points off the drop but dropping to only 2 actual places above it. Scary biscuits.
Plymouth v Exeter tomorrow is massive (for us!)

That’s the trouble when no transparency. Us owners are made to guess

Well that’s good to see Nervo’s link at least - but I wonder whether that mathsy person understands the state of our squad right now. I would bite your arm off for a point but especially with our centre back injuries I think we may concede early and that’ll be that.

No company with an annual budget of £11m (including the playing budget) should be paying £400k up front to anyone for anything. That’s basic finance. You structure the payments to mitigate the risk. Absolute basic stuff. Zero accountability. Total silence.
8 away matches played at Burton, 4 draws 4 defeats, with 8/9 injured and no centre backs or goal scorers can see a 4 -0 drubbing tomorrow:-(

Anyway we'll.done this morning for taking our minds off the Burton game
Would of thought repair work lifts etc west stand would of been under warranty, so if we paid up front for a service,maybe pitch or match day security?

I guess we paid up front for work and the supplier went bust? If so, we would take our place in the queue, along with other unsecured creditors, to share out the proceeds of the fire sale
10th Apr 2026 10:21:39 [31.lo.gg.ed]
Increasingly, customers are asked to pay upfront, a practice which puts customers at risk of financial loss. I had my bathroom refit in March and all the physical items were paid up front and were kept in the suppliers storage, as I had no space for them ...
If I recall correctly, weren't there known concerns raised from other vendors, or did I dream that.

In other news I see the RSPB have put out advice to not feed birds via bird feeders from May through September to prevent spreading what sounds like a horrible disease.
10th Apr 2026 10:08:53 [195.lo.gg.ed]
I love seeing the garden birds around the place but will follow the advice accordingly.
That’s missed revenue Spit - this is a cost for which no product or service was received. Eg rather than not receiving £400k, you gave someone £400k and got nothing for it.
10th Apr 2026 10:05:52 [195.lo.gg.ed]
And this whole “can’t say anything cos legal case” line is a myth I think - there’s been no official communication from either board. I think it’s just a line fed out to fans by the clique in order to make people go “ok that sounds viable”. If there is a legal challenge going on then it would be great to get a status update after all it was a big chunk of money for a club in financial distress.
Maybe a sponsorship didn't get fulfilled?

Re the 400k, I seem to recall that we were not the only victim, and that maybe somebody else further up the chain with deeper pockets has taken the legal action and we're riding on the coat-tails of that. We are not playing an active role in the negotiations, but waiting for the larger firm to get to the end of their process. They have asked us to keep quiet until then unless we say anything that prejudices their case. However I may have dreamt all of this so don't take any of it as gospel!

Not nearly half a million quid it doesn’t. You don’t pay that sort of amount up front with no protections. As Nick W says, an investor will want to know exactly what happened, why and what has been done about it. They will also then want to ensure it never happens again.
10th Apr 2026 09:44:25 [195.lo.gg.ed]
The zero accountability approach of our current leadership style will not be accepted by someone pumping in millions and nor should it.
Nick Woking - if the supplier was BTH, maybe they owed us rent or sales or something similar?
10th Apr 2026 09:37:08 [45.lo.gg.ed]
In that case, there's not really much you can do. Anyone who's earned enough money to be in a position to invest will know that kind of thing happens.
REPD - It is a bit odd to lose money on an amount owed to us by a supplier (as normally we would owe the supplier) but as you say it’s unlikely to put off an investor- at worst it will be evidence that we had poor controls or risk management at the time, but generally the investor will think that if there were such failures then they will do better and prevent them in the future. The key will be us being able to tell them why the loss happened and what we have done to stop it happening again.

Morning all. TBH unless the £400k was down to serious malpractice on "our" part I doubt an investor would run for the hills on seeing it. A supplier going bust and owing money (which I would imagine is the most plausible) isn't exactly unheard of
10th Apr 2026 09:15:25 [45.lo.gg.ed]
In other words, I don't think it's a deal breaker one bit. Just inconvenience.
I'm sure investors would be fully informed about the 400K, after all they will have signed an NDA so won't spill the beans to the hoi palloi.

Spit- the missing 400k would be a lot of crazy gang pale ale ;-)
