I'd seen the twitter posts, as far as I can see the journo who tweeted it has yet to add anything other than his own idle speculation at this point. He cited the half million pound losses as though it was new information. It doesn't take an accountant to work out that our setup isn't funded by 3-4k crowds and Championship funding. So somebody has clearly made up the shortfall as I would assume no bank would be offering us much in the way of a loan! Now if that person or persons are no longer able to continue that support then perhaps we might be in bother but that is probably the same for almost every loss making club in RL.
I know our fans don't help themselves sometimes but it seems plenty in RL still want to put the boot in at any opportunity. Perhaps also in part to Chalmers being an outspoken that clearly ruffles a few feathers in SL.
I'm not losing any sleep over some twitter rumour without any real substance behind it. I expect Chalmers spends more in flights to NZ in a month than the alleged ccj amount. Nothing we can do about it, so little point getting worked up over it.

Not bothered by anything on twitter, to be honest.
Obviously, logic says there must be some sensible people on there but all you seem to hear of are idiotic barmpots parroting rubbish, from the lowest of the low, like Trump, upwards. I do believe that journos use the medium as a sounding board, just to see what they get back, but these are just low-rent hacks imo. Am I bovvered? Do I look bovvered? Meh..

If we go bust again then that's me done, forever.
I saw people making reference to them, but nothing in terms of actual evidence about where they've got the info from or who's claiming them and then they followed up their initial tweet by using the word "allegedly" which is internet speak for "my mate Dave down the pub reckons" and gives them an out when it turns out to be BS

Those two CCJs are relatively small amounts. Very small In the grand scheme of things. That usually means they are disputed invoices (which is true with both in this instance). It’s makes no sense for anyone to let a CCJ be put in place for such a small number unless it was a genuine dispute over whatever it is owed.
What is more disappointing is the comments and messages from Aaron Bower, Mark Wilson and Gary Schofield which are pathetic in every sense of the word.

Well I've said before his guff will catch up with him. Seems more and More people are calling him out on it (his latest post on here has annoyed some and they've rightly challenged him on it)
I've challenged him on here many times, I've made it clear I've never forgiven him for his false tweets and behaviour during our last admin.
However he's no longer a numpty who posts within these Forums. He's somehow got himself a platform to spout his drivel via a podcast and his commentary via Pulse2 makes him closely associated with the club now. Just because he gets overly excited over a Bulls try doesn't mean it's fair game for him to continue to spout false information and the crap he does.
The full CCJ value includes court costs and interest too so both are for really small amounts. They’ve also not been paid yet and have passed the deadline. The club’s credit file will now look like crap, it’s in the public domain which damages the club’s reputation and we now risk being taken to high court if they aren’t settled soon.
For the sake of avoiding all this for such small amounts it begs the question why didn’t they just pay whatever was owed? This is the end of the line not an invoice query you take people to court after you’ve answered invoice queries and made attempts to get it settled.
Something doesn’t sit right with me over this. I get that a Lot of people revel in our misfortune but given out recent history you can’t deny this is news worthy.

Not read it but apparently it's in the league express that some of our central funding has been withheld because we owed some clubs money from gate receipts taken during the challenge cup rounds.

He needs to stop it.
