Price briefly reached 280. Highest broker forecast is currently 297. Now looks likely to be achieved after the 6 month results and 2018 outlook. 75p on a 225p investment would be sweet.

Great Breakout, good for 300 after those sound results.

Hello! What are market expectations for turnover and earnings year to 30 September 2016?

[joseph moran] 28/2/2016 21:38

It is a bit lonely in here. I applied for £1000.00 and was scaled down so I only got 377 shares.

[tyranosaurus] 28/2/2016 11:46

Thank you for setting up this board. Hopefully one day it will get used.

[127tolmers] 12/2/2016 17:35

Pricing range was 225-275 and final offer was 225p. If the market recovers in general a 275 exit point will look achievable quite quickly. 50 on 275 or 22% would be nice. I got scaled back to 85% in the offer. Watch out for lock ins to end after 6 & 12 months.

Good start

Trading Statement RNS Number:9518V Crown Sports PLC 20 December 2005 Crown Sports plc Trading Update The management of Crown Sports plc provide a trading update as it approaches the end of its current trading year. We announced at our interim results in September that as a result of a slowdown in membership sales we were significantly increasing our marketing investment. As a result of the action taken we have seen several months of strong new joiner growth which, combined with a stabilising attrition rate, we anticipate will result in our overall membership levels being ahead at the end of the year. We also communicated that we were seeing significant increases in electricity, gas and business rates, that have continued to impact upon the business in the second half of the year. As a consequence we believe that it is prudent to continue to take a cautious view on the short-term outlook for the group. While we expect pre-tax profits for the year (before goodwill and exceptionals) to be ahead of 2003, they will be below the strong result achieved in 2004 and below current market forecasts. The company will announce its final results for the twelve months to 31 December 2005 on 4th April 2006.

likewise i am very interested in csp - nav above share price, small profit which a takeover could very much improve via stripping of some admin costs - it may take time but i see a 20p ish takeover in due course IMO . We have a dragons nearby and livingwell and d. Lloyd which all cater for differing groups of people

Hi recs., Thank for your observations. The turn-round story attracts me. Plus the property backed embedded value. [ 300k trade just printed]. rgds., H

we have a Dragons where I live, my wife & her friends belong to it, I looked at it but was not overly impressed. The competition within a 1 mile radius is fierce with a large David Lloyd & a Top Notch in walking distance. A further mega large David Lloyd is being built about 10 miles away.... On the positive side, they seem to have a hard-core contingent (including my wife) who would not leave there & go somewhere else... £60 per month for membership...seems average enough. Cant see how they will attract new members though as the club is relatively small compared to the David Lloyd - although parking is free, a major plus in the town area...

[nikesh4] 05/4/2005 07:23

i mean 17p

[nikesh4] 05/4/2005 07:23

net assets 27p per share why is this so low solid results

[konkel] 16/12/2004 10:35

LA Fitness deal surely further enhances buy case for Crown...50-100% cheap in my view...don't forget NAV is way above share price

[konkel] 04/11/2004 09:58

Hi Wonder Boy, Felt you were fighting a bit of a lone battle on this stock so have taken a position to join you!! I agree that, on the face of it, this is a prime candidate for takeover,VC,MBO etc...even if this is not the case co. seems to have dramatically turned around its fortunes and should be able to power on independently. The tight share register is, in my opinion, a positive as it keeps the punters away and makes any end game so much easier to deliver. Good luck WB and all other holders.

[wonder boy] 19/10/2004 13:01

Anyone else think this could be a takeover target? LA Fitness CEO is known to be on the acquisition trial. Loads of the other big players are now in the hands of the private equity houses & everyone knows their appetite for takeovers. NAV of £50 million (surely due an upward revision in light of property prices in recent years). Reliable and growing profit circa £2 million. Market cap of just £27million = BARGAIN!

[mufmitz] 16/4/2004 19:38

I picked this up --- The Company has announced that it is proceeding with the transfer to trading on AIM. It is expected that admission to trading on AIM and cancellation of listing will become effective on 6th May 2004.

[sportbilly1976] 15/4/2004 12:29

this stock, given the recent rise, the modest fall back yesterday pm, and the resurgent rise again this am looks to be one of the strongest prospects on small cap market...any one have a clue as to price target in 2-3 months (or weeks at this rate!!)..given NAV currently 16p
