Yes but what about the stewards at the Macron?

Yeah. My bet with Bread was based on a conversation around when Boggers said the deal would be completed by i.e. Friday - which I (reluctantly) accepted despite knowing it may take longer to conclude one way or the other on the basis that it's for charity.

another possible outcome of Jan 18th is an extension...it happens quite regularly, and if there are some realistic prospects of payment, there will be a delay of writ offered, maybe for a month, just sayin'

And just how much would you bet on that outcome Manda? 'Cos I wouldn't stick a five pence piece on it myself.

i'd back that outcome if we get as far as the 18th, are we on for a charity bet LPP?

I'll take it Manda. My bet is that we will be ordered to wind up unless we've already entered administration prior to 18th January 2016. If we haven't we will enter admin on that date. I can't see a postponement or extension because I don't think we'll have a viable bid in place that HMRC will accept as meaning they'll be paid in a timely fashion. If I'm wrong I'll donate a tenner to the charity of your choice.

Agreed it's a horror show but hey, if there's one thing Trotters are good at it's gallows humour. It's the only explanation I can think of for John McGovern at any rate, not to mention paying Leicester a million quid in order to get Gary Megson as our manager. And who can forget Gerald Cid and Mario Jardel? I'm certain they were meant to be jokes or got signed on a bet.

Eddie Davis could earn millions selling his new book ' how not to run a football Club '.

The stewards are not employed by BWFC- that business is subcontracted to a  major security firm who supply stewards to several north west clubs That firm has the responsibility of paying the stewards their money- not BWFC.
However I imagine that BWFC hasn't paid them!
The thought strikes me though that if they haven't paid them, then there might be no stewarding at the Fulham game? Just another bit to add to the current chaos

Health and Safety law means no stewards, no match mate. And at least some of them will have to be trained and certified in first aid to boot so it's not just a matter of grabbing a few bods and sticking them in hi-vis jackets either. The only way the game could go ahead without stewards would be if we played behind closed doors and that would be a calamity from a financial viewpoint too. I don't know if we've paid the firm that supplies the stewards but I'm guessing we have because nothing has been said to indicate we might not have them this weekend.

LPP- I left it unsaid as its such an unpalatable thought. But your conclusion crossed my mind as well. We've also got to pay for a lot of GM Police costs should they be necessary for security inside the ground. Wigan had a bit of an issue with this a couple of years ago
