Meat eating in the UK is DECLINING , hence what has happened to CRAW is no surprise


buywell3 - 29 Mar 2018 - 07:07:53 - 6097 of 6651 BEEF UP YOUR INVESTMENT - CRAW

The problem is as yesterday showed , the BIG holders of CRAW shares are now selling out at 2p


They do not see a future for their CRAW investment and have decided to sell , most likely at a BIG loss.


What message to other BIG investors does this send ?

We shall probably soon start to get RNS's about which Institutions have sold shares.

When such RNS's come , they hardly will generate positive traction for the share price.

If any newbe or investor is now looking at this ... then they must factor in the likelihood of a cash call coming within days to weeks ... with BIG sells at 2p , then when this happens the cash call is likely to be below 2p.

Heavily discounted to whatever the share price is on the day it gets announced by around 30%


Problem is ... the CFO has gone/going along with the CEO

So who and when will the cash call details be released ?



Meantime the share price is dropping and a load of work needs doing by these two who are now negotiating their compensation packages whilst some cash remains

The High Steet is now dead and daily press comment is not going to help CRAW but only exacerbate an already bad situation.

The high street shops of CRAW are basically worthless and a drag on the business any worth being attached to their resale value.

I assume they are all leased

6.5 mill shares bought this morning against 1.1 mill sold...it seems an awful lot of buyers after looking at the trading update!

[castleford tiger] 30/8/2018 14:19

raised 5.1m just 16 months ago by giving a 50% discount to sell 1/3rd of the company and..............the price was 30p we sold the shares at 15p

Tom, when a share price is low,it doesn't always mean it's cheap. Read the RNS.. any recovery will take time imo

[tomboyb] 30/8/2018 13:26

133k means 375k max now at 3p -

Could buy at 2.92 a minute ago -

High street "hit" significantly by online -

Look up major off town sites being taken up as "fulfillment centres" -

[tomboyb] 30/8/2018 13:22

2 v 1 -

[tomboyb] 30/8/2018 13:07

Share price from lows -

[meijiman] 30/8/2018 12:32

Thanks for that Dave. Been on the web page to have a look. Shop seems to think its in Cumbria! Broker needs to step up to the plate a bit. It's either going under or the new strategy will start to bear fruit in a few months time.........

[tomboyb] 30/8/2018 12:24

2.8p to buy -

Down already -

So clearly someone selling down -

Henderson's butchers

152 Roker Ave, Sunderland SR6 0HQ

[meijiman] 30/8/2018 12:14

And where is this ? some of us might want to try it out if its that good!
I agree that if you are serving a good product word of mouth will get you a good trade.

[dave4545] 30/8/2018 12:02

You need to be off the main town centre streets to have a chance.

There is a butchers up here on a housing estate, they serve up the best take away food and have contractors pulling up all day for food because they have built up a great reputation but more importantly they do not have the mental rent and rates the high streets charge.

It might be slow at first but if you are hidden away but serve excellent food and value for money people will make the effort to visit your shop. You have no chance
on the high streets up north now

[tomboyb] 30/8/2018 11:59

bottom fish at 3p? -

Punted a few although it could fall further-

[marmar80] 30/8/2018 10:49

Do they also have any debts to repay, loans?

[phowdo] 30/8/2018 10:18

This was almost inevitable when they got in a CEO who had been previously dismissed from ASDA for diddling his expenses.

We are now actively promoting our Botswana sourced meat (Biltong) you can just about make it out in the photo below taken by somebody in Leeds Market and posted to a job site 6 days ago.
According to Wikipedia you cannot import meat from South Africa.
Biltong produced in South Africa may not be imported into Britain, according to rules governing the importation of meat-based products from non-EU countries laid down by HM Customs and Excise and its successor HM Revenue and Customs,[22] thus it is made in the UK.

I thought food on the go was a good idea to reduce waste and so improve margins.obviously the problem here was lack of staff motivation and poor staffing levels. If you want to sell takeaway food the customers have to be served quickly.

[igbertsponk] 30/8/2018 09:42

I'd assume they've a few RPI linked leases, so that's the excuse for rising rents....

[horndean eagle] 30/8/2018 09:33

Absolute scumbag management. Rent increases? What planet are they living on. Given the absolutely dire numbers have to assume that factory shops doing terrible as well. Surprised shares holding up so well.

[s1zematters] 30/8/2018 09:00

There we have it folks! The reason for Dave buying Chal is, I quote "Cannot sit back and watch a potential spike again like Toop happen in front of my eyes"

LOL! straight from the book of how to go broke chasing spikes.
