Norewgian Gunnar Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Fondop needs bringing on for longer periods in second half as he really does unsettle defenders. I thought second half performance was better yesterday and MM changed the shape which worked well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don’t attend, how can you be in attendance? As it's all electronic, I doubt it's that hard to track, either. The only benefit I can think of is that we can boast we're getting big-ish attendances, even though we're not!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start him with Norwood and let's see if we can unsettle defences from the off. He's not as effective when he's on from the start BP. Didn't have enough time, though, yesterday to make his impact but, again, you could clearly see he ruffled them for sure. Half hour as an impact sub for me in games like yesterdays.

GlossopLatic Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Me and my Dad have a season ticket holder as a 70th birthday treat we took him in hospitality I'm guessing we got counted twice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't care less about those who run the country because they're not in my universe and I'm happy just having the basics you need to get by, on a daily basis.

Steve_R Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 1 hour ago, League one forever said: For the tax man. Season ticket holders have paid for their ‘attendance’ whether they’re there or not. Well the taxman hasn’t changed his rules. We never used to report it this way so there’s no need to do it now. It used to be the opposite in fact. Whenever the crowd was announced it was regularly greeted with groans of ‘there’s miles more here than that’, and we often claim to have taken a far bigger away following than the official figure says.

Not sure then, I always thought it was about tax. I could understand AL doing it- no problem here etc. But not Frank he has nothing to defend/spin.

I do think he's well worth his place however, on the bench. It could have just as easily been 6 inches higher and been goal of the season. Nobody else wins those headers...

I thought VAT was payable monthly or in some cases three monthly so anything on season tickets would have become due shortly after they were paid for. The gross attendance number doesn't really count for much- would need to know he rates paid by everyone. Large number of concessions, freebies etc big gate not so big income............

I'd imagine like most businesses VAT is paid quarterly but all ticket sales whether ST or not will be vatable. HMRC can check at anytime so we have to show the revenue and that it doesn't look dodgy.

I also heard him on a few occasions constantly talking and encouraging. l really rate the opinion of Baz and he told us he is class. told him he was going to get him fit and look at him hes a unit now. l'm totally buzzin for him he has been my fave player since he told us all to fuckoff at Barrow!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
