......and Smith must score. 1,343 Posted January 22 Didn’t know you don’t do the Nelson post-match Nutty. Sorry to hear you find it harder to get there after the game so the L & C makes perfect sense. I haven’t been in the Nelson in a long time but it seemed to be more of an away fans haunt the last few times I went there. Do any of the old gang still use it ?

shefcanary 2,409 Posted January 22 11 hours ago, nutty nigel said: I think the wording is something like they contributed to the equity injection needed to open it. What is your problem with it? Nutty has quoted "equity injection" from a line in the Director's report in the last set of financial statements. From an FPA perspective, the notes to the those statements suggest it was a loan. Once again the financial statements were lacking in detail of the terms of this loan. So, did the club embark on the development of the L&C and then ran out of cash because of Webber's splash & dash in the transfer market, so had to look elsewhere to borrow some emergency dosh? Or was this a planned financial intervention by Smith & Jones, perhaps stimulated by Attanasio's financial support given elsewhere - a demonstration by Smith & Jones that they were still very much in this for the long run? Or was there another entirely different reason? Although knowing the exact terms of this loan (interest rates, length, repayment terms etc.) might help us understand this conundrum, the discrepancy between what the directors' report said (equity investment), the description in the notes to the financial statements (directors 'loan) and the lack of discussion on the terms of the loan (🤷♀️) , is in my eyes anyway another black mark against the Auditors in their signing off of the report and accounts. Whatever, by providing the loan, Smith & Jones have ensured the L&C development was completed. And they seem to enjoy popping in there for a libation after matches. Hopefully it is now generating some cash for use elsewhere in the club and will become a vibrant base for Norwich supporters to celebrate future success, rather than just a place to drink away our sorrows.

Hopefully it is now generating some cash for use elsewhere in the club and will become a vibrant base for Norwich supporters to celebrate future success, rather than just a place to drink away our sorrows. The biggest flaw in the L&C business model I see is that you're not allowed in pre match unless you are a Lower Barclay season ticket holder, or have to wait until 15 mins after the game. I know the latter has put us off using it. Smith & Jones sunk the best part of £1m into this according to accounts? It seems ridiculous that they forbid entry when footfall around the stadium is at its highest on matchday. Needs a bit of a rethink as they have a lot of competition. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your expectations have been dashed again! You must be well used to disappointment by now… You’ve got further explanation from an FPA which may suit you better. If not we can probably get an estate agent on the job. You’ll also be pleased to know that some of your favourite supporters groups helped with the design… So anyway, what is your problem with it?

Don't quite get ' your expectations have been dashed again ' comment as i was asking for confirmation that D&M paid for it as you stated as that had passed me by in the accounts but then again our most respected FPA didn't exactly give a definitive answer as to the mechanics of the refurb. As for helping with the design i suspect that the late lamented BP and ACN saw their involvement as a final act of helping with matchday experience and atmosphere hence my reference to there being more life in a tramps vest and atmosphere in a morgue. The joke is that Delia complete with a plastic glass in her hand was happy to have a photo with a 20%er thinking he was an adoring disciple. Look forward to the L&C providing a return on the money spent in about at least 10 years time. Restricted access to punters before the game and closing by 8pm together will being shut on non match days won't help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im sure you enjoyed the FPA reply more but for all the words did it really have anymore information than the bog cleaner version? So halfy half face isn’t a bitty boy? Delia didn’t look too happy about it. I guess there’s a joke there somewhere though. It’s a bit weird to invade her personal space like that… I would imagine it’s not open to all until after the game because it’s part of the lower Barclay. It can’t really be both. I expect there’s better than this bog cleaner’s observation though. What do you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
