I thought this was a goner - looks like someone's taken a fan-cy to them!

Don't worry about recovering your money.....not many will.

Read the rns

[tamdolan] 10/8/2010 10:06

45% up, wtf is going on here. i never thought I would recover my money. Anyone know the reason for this rocket?

[greengiant] 10/8/2010 10:01

TW believes 30p is the minimum break up figure.

Thanks useful link - last year they updated their website with transfers. For some reason thought the Transfer season was going to be a bumper one - guess there is still time yet. I merely mention it because they generally do every year and it usually creates a bit of interest (more exciting that theatres apparently).

Was hoping the summer would rescue the footie side a bit. Not surprising it has not been sold. Probably go for a song after a quiet one this year.

Don't disagree with anything you say so I guess we just wait for the Stoller influence to play out and hope it continues to be positive. I remember hoping for earning of 10-15p a year or so back. Will they be positive at all this year?

ToBack,

No idea how the football transfer season is currently going, although you would assume not so well seeing that the actual numbers of transfers seems to be dropping. This can be seen from here, but what % relates to FAN is anyone's guess.



Also from the Prelims, we have been told that the footie business would not be great

"However, as previously reported the January 2010 window was very
disappointing and will affect the current year's results."

Also there are the following points to consider
1) No sign of renegotiated facilities
2) No sale of footie business

On the plus side I woud expect the Dewynters business to perform well this year and the same for SpotCo.

Also recent buying by Stoller is a positive although nobody seems to know anything about

Interim Announcement due on 23/8 - I have no idea whether this will look good or bad.

Any idea how transfer season is going for these? As I suspect it could be good but have no facts to back it up.

[lionheart79] 05/8/2010 00:10

well i'm still down by over 80% but, well, maybe there is some hope?
actually id rather just continue to write it off and just be surprised...

[napoleon 14th] 28/7/2010 10:21

tara & GG - solid chaps! That pushed share price up 30%!!!

Anyone else want to joint this?
I'll do a 10% of profits if it moves the share price up 30% LOL!!!

[cammy3] 27/7/2010 20:10

Excellent - hopefully an exit at long last

[hh9] 27/7/2010 18:51

I'd love to know who the Stollers are. With what's going on in that business at the moment then they're either up to something or completely mad. I rather favour the former. I still remain faithful to the theatre business which is excellent. Events are on the back foot, but then it is a recession, but again it's a good business. Football is a disaster and with this management to boot (no pun intended) bringing the rest of the business down with it.

Same old story sort out football and the Smiths and the rest will fly. Cross fingers, maybe the Stollers will do it for us

[jamie62] 27/7/2010 11:10

GG = an honourable man. I applaud you.

[tara7] 27/7/2010 09:37

Thankyou, that = a WIN, WIN.

[greengiant] 27/7/2010 09:36

okay - I have no problem with that and will quite happily do it if I can sell my shares at a profit under the current management

[tara7] 27/7/2010 09:27

Now that is just fab,!!!!!!!!!! yes i will post here for you.

The Lee Smith research foundation Reg charity NO 258028.

I take my hat off to you.!!!!!!

[greengiant] 27/7/2010 09:19

tara - that would depend on what it is, if you care to expand. I would be willing (as I do every year) to give money to charity quite willingly. I would even post the receipt here.

[tara7] 27/7/2010 09:15

Greengiant, if it turns out, that infact you do make money with this stock , based on these directors, ie prior to any change in the directors would you then put by 10% of the gain for the good of others,[Linked to FAN]?

It would be a kind of thankyou.

[safman] 27/7/2010 09:07

Greengiant, a very admirable post here, i certainly respect that... i think Tara could learn a thing or two about it.. but i doubt it..

Best of luck ..

saffy..

[greengiant] 27/7/2010 09:03

tara,

I am honest, I do not believe in calling something good, when clearly it isn't.

This board have been hopeless in keeping abreast of its requirements (as can still be seen with its website which is still woefully out of date)

The board have been in the process of selling its sports business for 13 months now and have all along given unrealistic deadlines as to its completion

The board often reported good progress only to disappoint when results are released. (Dewynters in Feb).

Am I confident that this is a good management team - absolutely not.

Do I care as long as I make money? Absolutely not.

Would I invest here if I had my time again? - Absolutely not

[tara7] 27/7/2010 08:48

Greengaint, you have got large amounts in this stock, yet spent the last months running them into the ground.!!

I have not, you read accounts and moan at the directors like a drain.

I have not.

If you get you investment back, please contact me as i have a good project where 10% of that could be spent doing good[and its linked to FAN]

As you had written this investmrent off , 10% seems fair to me.

Good luck.
