Small snippet on the Daily Mail from a few days ago and I have added a few more today......GL S"Former cash shell Guscio edged up to 7p after announcing its Sportsdata Ltd company has signed a deal with the charitable arm of Charlton Athletic FC.Under the deal, Sportsdata, in which Guscio owns a 30 per cent stake, has agreed with the club's community trust to promote, market and deliver Skills2Achieve programmes to local schools.Backers of Guscio include chairman and 7.4 per cent shareholder Richard Thompson, and entrepreneur Nigel Wray, who owns 7.8 per cent."Read more:

Upon reflection I thought the heading of yesterday's RNS was very poor, with the heading of Sportsdata Loan and not heading up the Charlton Athletic agreement, which the funds are for, probably resulted in a number of prospective investors to pass the news by, it makes you wonder if things are being kept low profile at the moment?......GL S

yes very big. A licence to print money.

[solarno lopez] 04/6/2015 09:13

hahaha Concha is supposedly soon

[swizz] 04/6/2015 09:06

sl, good to see you posting and very much agreed on the potential, let's hope some of our Concha magic can migrate over to Guscio in the months ahead!......GL S

[solarno lopez] 04/6/2015 08:56

it could well be knowing the involvement of the Youth Sports Trust and Football clubs in general.

And there are an awful lot of schools who can utilise Sportsdata

[dosser2] 04/6/2015 08:52

Even bigger

[solarno lopez] 04/6/2015 08:21

Think of how many football clubs there are and virtually all are involved with local schools and communities to help with football.

This is going to be big, very big

[swizz] 04/6/2015 07:26

Good to see the new BOD producing a commercial agreement, albeit very early stage with Charlton Athletic, but IMHO it is a sign of things to come and how long before we see a similar announcement for the world of Rugby?.....GL S


Guscio PLC Loan to Sportsdata Limited

TIDMGUSC

4 June 2015

Guscio PLC

("Guscio" or the "Company")

Loan to Sportsdata Limited

Guscio PLC, the AIM quoted investment Company, is pleased to provide an update
on its investee company, Sportsdata Limited ("Sportsdata"), in which it holds a
30 per cent. interest.

The board of Sportsdata has announced today that it has signed an agreement
with the Charlton Athletic Community Trust ("CACT"), which is Charlton Athletic
Football Club's charitable arm, whereby CACT will promote, market and seek to
deliver the Skills2Achieve ("S2A") programme to local primary schools through
their community programme. In addition, CACT will seek to facilitate
introductions to other football clubs and related community projects.

This new business area within the football community has the potential to
rapidly accelerate the roll out of the Skills2Achieve programme. In order to
enable Sportsdata to pursue this opportunity, it requires further limited
working capital. Consequently, the Company has agreed to make a loan to
Sportsdata of GBP50,000. The loan is unsecured, repayable within 12 months and
attracts an interest rate of five per cent. per annum. The loan is not
convertible.

Related Party Transaction

Richard Thompson and Gail Ganney, both directors of the Company, are existing
shareholders in Sportsdata and are also on the board of Sportsdata.
Accordingly, the provision of the loan to Sportsdata constitutes a related
party transaction as defined by the AIM Rules for Companies.

John Steele, Marcus Yeoman and Tony Humphreys, all non-executive directors of
the Company, are neither shareholders in nor directors of Sportsdata and are
therefore deemed to be independent under the AIM Rules for the purposes of
considering the related party transaction (the "Independent Directors"). The
Independent Directors, having consulted with Sanlam Securities UK Limited, the
Company's nominated adviser, consider that the terms of the loan are fair and
reasonable insofar as shareholders are concerned.

Richard Thompson, Chairman of the Company, commented:

"The board of Guscio is extremely interested by the new relationship that
Sportsdata and Charlton Athletic Community Trust have developed. CACT has
recognised the immense potential and importance of the Skills2Achieve programme
for the primary school sector and will now seek to market and deliver S2A
through their extensive community school delivery system. CACT have committed
to sharing this delivery model with other key football clubs and community
programmes, giving Sportsdata access to the highly influential football sector
and its inherent delivery capability. This secondary sales channel alongside
Sportsdata's partner arrangements with the Youth Sport Trust should help create
a fast track to mass adoption of the S2A programme and build on the existing
momentum leading into the 2015/2016 academic school year.

D2, check out what some of the Sportsdata team are tweeting about, it will give you a good idea what they are up to and it linking to potential Guscio news......GL S

[dosser2] 29/5/2015 13:16

Ready for a push??? Watch this later. My prediction.

[granada7] 28/5/2015 17:23

amazing that there was hardly any volume and it went up 20%, the stock is very tightly held allied to being a MC of less than £600k means the rise could be huge if theres any buying interest.

[oilbuy] 28/5/2015 16:18

7.5 - 8. swizz.

[swizz] 28/5/2015 16:08

ob, Indeed and good to see.....GL S

[oilbuy] 28/5/2015 16:05

Ticking back up !

[granada7] 21/5/2015 11:52

solarno

i personally dont think it will break 6p. theres only 16m shares in issue, of which more than 50% are tightly held. This leaves 8m of which Dantee is looking for 25% (or therabouts) at a 35% discount to current share price Unless holders want to take a hit and fill his order, im not sure it will happen.

[granada7] 21/5/2015 11:38

dantee not sure setting a buy order at 5.2p, which roughly is around 35% below the current share price is going to get filled at all, especially bearing in mind it has never gone below 6.3p

[swizz] 21/5/2015 07:54

Dt, not a bad shout and it looks as if the mkt may try and get it filled for you, you may also clear out the stale warrant holders with that quantity,....GL S

[dantee] 20/5/2015 20:12

Guys i set a buy order here today at 5.2p to test the water and will continue to monitor.

[loverat] 20/5/2015 19:51

Nope D2. Cumbria is a lovely county but reckon the 300 mile commute would finish me off.

Just thought I would do some research on this one.

I have done O.K trading this for a while now but looking at keeping a few shares for medium/long term. If it is good enough for a long term investor like Nigel Wray then it might be a rewarding investment given time.

At just a shade under 7p this looks like a good entry point and looking to add.

[dosser2] 20/5/2015 19:37

Were you looking for a job LR?

[loverat] 20/5/2015 19:17

I see Sportsdata are advertising for jobs...
