Nice rise today - any ideas?

Not sure what the score is here but it seems to be moving at last and I'm no longer as sick as a parrot but over the moon.

Bought on the same day as Sir Rodders so looks like a good move.

Looks like a good co to me with a lot more potential yet.

MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS

A controversial plan to build a football centre in Heaton Park will go ahead despite last ditch objections by campaigners.

The proposal to use a corner of the park in Prestwich for the centre – which will include 13 football pitches and 82 car parking spaces – were approved last year.

But the project stalled after campaigners objected to the sale of the land from Manchester council to developer Goals Soccer Centres.

Members of the council's Communities and Neighbourhoods Scrutiny Committee endorsed the original decision to sell the land made by chief executive Howard Bernstein in July.

Protesters accused the council of selling the land just for profit and said the park was given to the people of Manchester and should not be disposed of.

The sale will now go ahead paving the way for the centre to be built.

Coun Mike Amesbury, the council's culture and leisure spokesman, said: "This fantastic centre will enhance the first class facilities already available at the park, without having any impact on its historic core.

"It's something that local residents have been asking us for years and we're really pleased that it is finally getting the go-ahead. Despite the misinformation there has been about the development, I know it will be warmly welcomed.

I've decided to buy here, they are taking over my local 6 aside pitches as of next week, the place generates in excess of 5k a week I would have thought, great cash flow business! I'm hedging against any price rises!lol!

should go up once the big seller finishes.

Just a standard roll-out.

Great cashlow. Debt manageable. Big barriers to entry. Mgt remuneration is reasonable. I like it

Cheers, PP./

This is care of The Scotsman on 21st December:

THE chairman of five-a-side operator Goals Soccer Centres, Sir Rodney Walker, yesterday spent £150,000 on shares to increase his holding for the second time in a week.
Walker, who used to head the UK Sports Council, bought 120,001 shares at 125p.

Last week he was one of several directors at the East Kilbride company who had bought a combined £200,000 worth of shares after the firm issued a profit warning due to the impact of the weather.

Goals said that trading had been in line with market expectations "prior to the latest extraordinary snowfalls across the UK".

The heavy snow is expected to reduce profits before tax by £700,000 for the year to 31 December with analysts now expecting the company to make a profit of £8.6m.

Decent update - better than I expected.

[cupasoup2006] 16/12/2010 14:27

Looks like a load of directors buying today!

[killieboy] 10/12/2010 21:07

Strange dealing pattern today - any ideas?

[killieboy] 03/12/2010 18:47

Scott84 - Agree, profit warning on the cards I should imagine.

[scott84] 03/12/2010 10:40

I'd imagine the severe weather is more of a reason for the price drop.

Think we could do with England being awarded the World Cup tomorrow!

Problems brewing with the taxman?

[cupasoup2006] 22/9/2010 14:44

ukinvestor220 - Goal opened a soccer centre (joint venture) in California in June this year.

[ukinvestor220] 21/9/2010 12:26

figures looked good - looking for confirmation. If they can get their act together a roll out in the USA would be a treat. Soccer is gaining ground over there and a UK soccer centre would have added schuma .

Share price reacting well to a good set of results. This company has been undervalued for quite some time. Seems to be a load of BUY notes out from various brokers/newspapers.

[cupasoup2006] 10/9/2010 09:30
