Surely they would have used the audited accounts ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely they would have used the audited accounts ? I think the whole point is that they were under declaring the crowds. So a significant portion of cash tickets being sold weren’t being included in crowd figures or the accounts. Nobody’s even trying to suggest that we’re taxed based on the crowd announced at the game. I think the claim is that we were announcing say 5,500 when there were 6k there, then only deposited the cash based on those 5,500, so the figures in the accounts tied up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, misunderstood earlier post . ........ clearly it just didn't cross my mind that DAFC could stoop so low..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaton Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 We count ST seats as occupied even if not, then add the pay at the gate number. I suppose financially it's correct but being sat there it's obvious it's utter bollocks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve yet to see a “sold out north west” without lots of red seats visible from the main stand. doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things, the more folk buying season tickets and “occupying” seats the better 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardle is Magic Posted September 26 Author Share Posted September 26 I’m sure the club would rather people were actually in the seats but only because then they may buy programmes, food, items from the club shop etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North West Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 Might be a few more red seats in the NW soon enough if they close the stand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dislocated Boy Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 Certainly closed for the Kelty Hearts game, but that's probably to be expected. Would be really disappointed if they were to go back to shutting it permanently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember it being close for one or two games but not being closed for longer periods. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure we closed it ‘permanently’ last time we were in the top flight, or around that time, due to costs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just after that, my memory is getting worse but I think it was under Jim McIntrye, but remember being asked to move season tickets and sitting in the Main Stand due to it.

McIntyre was sacked mid-season last time we were in the top flight, so if it was in his era it can’t have been after that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North West Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 Is big Dougie Hunter still going to the games? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CathcartSkins Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 (edited) From the preview interview with CD, we could be without Dom for a second week, however may have Jack Thomson back. If true, then we are in a stronger position than last week. Edited September 28 by CathcartSkins 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to us when Hamilton and Otoo get shunted around to cover for injuries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to us when Hamilton and Otoo get shunted around to cover for injuries. I’ve learned not to read too much into Davidsons pre match interviews when it comes to injuries nor to assume that if someone is in the training photos (or not) then they will/won’t be in the squad. FWIW I expect Dom to back, but not Jack Thompson. Jack Thompson has been injured for a while and we have more options at centre half now so expect him to be back in midfield going forward which is good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardle is Magic Posted September 28 Author Share Posted September 28 Would like to see Cooper start today. Think Todd will be on bench to continue easing him in, perhaps start him vs Kelty in the Challenge Cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
