13/2/2017 10:29	what does everyone think of the fact that Keith Rogers isn't on the board anymore? The Company also announces that Keith Rogers, an executive director, has stepped down from the Board. Mark Jones CEO said "On behalf of the Company I would like to acknowledge and express our sincere gratitude to Keith for his invaluable and constructive contribution to the Board over the years and we wish him well in the future" http://www.investegate.co.uk/goals-soccer-centres--goal-/rns/post-close-trading-update/201701160700101911U/ Asagi (no position)	asagi	Read Full Thread Reply
05/1/2017 22:56	I think Goal's need to listen to FIFA and the FA's message. FIFA and the FA are trying to promote FUTSAL to help develop young players. Pele, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Messi, Cotiniho(?) all played Futsal before they played football. I'm a football coach and I've seen players improve significantly having only played a few games of Futsal in the "correct" environment fast sports hall surface, heavy low bounce size 3/4 Futsal ball. Brazil, Chile, Peru, Spain, Protugal school chidren have to play Futsal until they are fourteen! Mandatory...at their schools. Goals need to partner drop or reduce the wierd 4G 5-aside and attract the premier league acadamies and or local clubs with a Futsal offering. They could also let the courts to Basketball, Netball or Hockey clubs too (Badminton, indoor tennis etc). The only Goals centres Ive been to look tired and unfit for purpose so suspect they will need more money for a refurb before they'll attract a new wave of customers and income.	praipus	Read Full Thread Reply

03/6/2016 07:44	When I saw the headline this morning, I was disappointed as I thought we were going to see details of a planned discounted placing. Instead, I see that we've already raised a gross £16.75m, that the cash is to be used to upgrade the stock etc., and that it was all done at £1 per share - not at an insiders' discount and higher than the price at which many of us bargain hunters bought recently. The fact that Chris Mills is a NED is also telling as it's probably him who was the main driver behind this move. I think it's excellent news and can easily see the shares being 50% higher by the end of the year.	value hound	Read Full Thread Reply

22/3/2016 17:33	These are now looking good value but momentum is against it at the moment , will be sitting on the sidelines to wait for the price to stabilise before potentially going in.	jimmywilson612	Read Full Thread Reply
14/3/2016 19:18	Yes but lfl sales declined by over 11% in the second half which is pretty serious. I'd agree that it's not a disaster, the price seems to reflect the new reality if indeed it is a new reality. As far as the grant funding goes I'm not sure it's coming from the taxpayer, it appears some of it may be coming from the Premier League and the like. I don't think i'll take the loss on these just yet, but if they suffer further big falls in lfl sales then i'll take this one on the chin.	arthur_lame_stocks	Read Full Thread Reply
14/3/2016 19:09	Like most businesses I guess competition will occur at some point, the question is how long the grant funded rivals will be grant funded given all the cuts that will need to take place, also how much are these really biting into the Goal Soccer model, UK LFL sales were down 6 - 7%, could this be due to weather etc, I don't know, US sales were up around 8% and that is where the future appears to lie, the update wasn't all negative imho and in the end the share price didn't dip too much so much of it appears to be in the price.	eastbourne1982	Read Full Thread Reply
14/3/2016 18:55	I'm just worried that it is not merely the ups and downs of business and that the increasing competition is going to permanently reduce earnings. Of course at this price they're not on a stupid multiple and there does still appear to be growth opportunities in the States.	arthur_lame_stocks	Read Full Thread Reply
14/3/2016 11:24	Strip out the asset write down and dropping the dividend are the results really horrid, look at the share price graph, this was all expected and could be viewed as the ups and downs of a business, the share price was double the figure a year ago, anyone who bought then is clearly in the brown stuff however anyone who bought then clearly didn't do much research as the business was way overvalued.	eastbourne1982	Read Full Thread Reply
14/3/2016 10:31	Most of that was what I expected apart from asset write down and the dividend cut, I'm not interested in a dividend in a share like this anyway, seems like the UK market is hard (we knew this) and the future lies in the US which offers much more potential, not many major surprises and a lot of this was already in the price.	eastbourne1982	Read Full Thread Reply
14/3/2016 08:32	I agree that the new guy looks interesting but the question is with that balance sheet and stated underinvestment in the product will there be a fund raising to allow him to do what he needs. Definitely watching this now.	harrogate	Read Full Thread Reply
14/3/2016 08:08	Well FWIW I've just bought; best of all worlds IMO, significant discount to TNAV, and P/E less than 10, new boss with inevitable plans to realise value - you couldn't ask for more in a share.	boystown	Read Full Thread Reply
14/3/2016 08:07	The underlying figures had already been forecast, but why didn't they mention the asset writedowns? I'm glad I didn't buy anymore now, after the statement that they are facing increasing competition from grant funded pitches.	arthur_lame_stocks	Read Full Thread Reply
14/3/2016 07:35	Looks as though my gut feel was right - Poor results. 2015 was a disappointing year for the Group. Group sales decreased by 4.9% to £33.0m and underlying profit before tax reduced by 21.7% to £8.3m. http://www.investegate.co.uk/goals-soccer-centres--goal-/rns/final-results-for-the-year-ended-31-december-2015/201603140700089156R/	pugugly	Read Full Thread Reply
09/3/2016 11:15	Is anyone still here? The price just keeps on falling. I'm tempted to buy some more at these levels. As far as I can see they are now on a p/e of about 10* this years expected profit (according to the most recent guidance) yet this year has not been great for them. Could be an opportunity.	arthur_lame_stocks	Read Full Thread Reply
26/1/2016 22:57	Well I've actually started buying these this week, bought yesterday and today, averaging around £1.15, happy to add a few more if the price heads towards £1, I've done my research and I'm happy to hold these for 6 - 18 months, pencilled in a target price of £1.60ish. The US is what could send this much higher at some point imho, could be a slow burn though. For the record I just think this is one of those shares that trades up and down between a range because it's profits are relatively stable it , i.e. £1 - £2.50, I think people read too much into volatility in shares, at the end of the day is the company 50% worse than it was in Feb / March 2015, certainly not imho, to get back up there it needs to rise circa 100%, I love the irrational moves of the stock market ! I find if you read too much into movements you miss a lot of opportunities.	eastbourne1982	Read Full Thread Reply
26/1/2016 19:25	I don't know what the reason for the fall is. It seems to me that even with no real growth these shares are not bad value, especially at this price. I just can't see their problems being structural, I mean they sell beer and football for god's sake. If that isn't a winning combination then I don't know what is. I would also hazard a guess that with a constant number of centres that profit is always going to fluctuate with the vagaries of the weather etc. As for the states, the first centre seems to have been a great success, hopefully they can repeat this with more centres it seems their best hope for growth as there can't be too many places in the UK for them to open. I could imagine the rate of growth slowing though. It seems with the current management resources they can open about two sites a year so about %5 growth in numbers at the moment but unless the rate of openings goes up the rate of growth will decrease over time. I'm still happy to hold, I expect them to continue making good profits for years to come, I just don't see any reason why they shouldn't. Arthur	arthur_lame_stocks	Read Full Thread Reply
25/1/2016 11:40	Down again today - Looks to be no buying support at the moment - If fall is not a result of a sell tip then (imo) possibly momentum driven by the fear of results and or current usage being below expectations - Recent weather conditions rain - fog - snow cannot be helping. At the rate of fall over the last few weeks could possibly break the 100p barrier. Could one of the reasons for the fall be that the marginal net contribution from each new centre may be arithmetic with very little gearing ? OR a worry about the planned expansion in the US which has been the graveyard of very many British coys eg: Tesco for 1 . I am sure readers of this thread can post many other examples -	pugugly	Read Full Thread Reply
