Excellent results. Good to see that the company continues to trade strongly. Plenty of upside from here IMO.

Another key difference between PWR and GOAL is that PWR are upgrading their existing sites to 3rd generation pitches, whilst all of GOAL's pitches are already 3rd generation, so this means higher short term capital expenditure for PWR (and therefore proportionately lower profits in the short term)

[chapman123] 05/9/2005 16:38

can see both goals and PWR being well up after the 8/9 PWR should be on similar rating to Goals so some catching up to be done

[billfisher98] 02/9/2005 12:39

So many people? A couple of small trades is all that has gone through today. Hardly anything to be concerned about. With the price at an all time high the concensus must be positive, otherwise the price would be moving in the other direction. Good news will send the shares shooting northwards.

[rajbeers] 02/9/2005 11:42

why are so many people selling stock with the interim results approaching?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
02 September 2005

Powerleague Group plc

Trading Update and Notice of Results

Powerleague Group plc ("the Company" or "Powerleague"), the market leading
operator of 5-a-side football centres in the United Kingdom, will be announcing
their maiden preliminary results for the 12 month period ended 30 June 2005 on
Wednesday 28 September 2005, which the Directors fully expect to demonstrate
encouraging trading in line with market expectations.

The Company joined the AIM market in May 2005 with the stated strategy of
expanding its existing portfolio of 26 5-a-side football centres. The
conditional acquisition from VIDA of four further centres that it announced at
the time of its flotation is now complete and have been integrated into the
Powerleague estate.

The Company is also delighted to announce that the new sites in Basingstoke and
Kilmarnock will be opening in mid September, on budget and slightly ahead of
schedule. A further five pitches will also open in October at centres where
demand is particularly strong.

By mid-September the company will be operating a total of 32 5-a-side centres
across the UK, representing substantial organic and acquisitive growth since
flotation.

Nice breakout past 140p so far today. To finish at this level or above would be very positive.

[chapman123] 25/8/2005 12:04

results due 09/09 can see further to go also PWR results due in sept too

[billfisher98] 05/8/2005 13:36

Goals by now has established a solid trend in an upwards direction. With excellent growth prospects in place and the trend moving in the right direction, the shares could have much further to go.

[cupasoup2006] 29/7/2005 09:00

Just checked Goals website, looks like they've started another 2 sites

[gucci] 28/7/2005 11:48

fantastic brekout - could go anywhere

If todays rise is purely down to this writeup then it's just crazy. There's nothing new in there, all the same information can be gleaned by reading through this thread. All I can hope is that the same people tip one or more of the other shares I have.
