Could be embarrasing if no one calls..

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

Will they have Dr Doolittle on hand to translate?

If there gates are any guide to intrest in a phone in he could be in the studio scratching arse and not a lot else

 

[MK Shrimper]

It's not a full moon is it? Colchester, where men are men, sisters are terrified and children have six toes.

 

[Hazey]

Colchester, a land of myth. Where the children give birth to their sisters and are fathered by their uncles. Full of absolute mothersisters. Every day they turn on CBBC and worship their king, Shaun the Sheep.

 

[Crawliano]

Well that won't be affecting the drive time listening then, they'll have to dig out some prog rock or something to fill the gaps up between calls.

 

[Hazey]

Although to be fair, their attendances are pretty good.

 

[Fairport]

Could be worth listening to, they are a small club like ourselves but with less potential. Will be interesting if financial issues are discussed to see how they compare to what is going on at Roots Hall.

Just listened to the phone-in to Cowling and Ward, some interesting points discussed. Cowling sounds like a typical 'ammers fan! However, he seems to have deeper pockets than Martin as he is currently subsidising the club and ensuring that it meets its costs (no court judgements etc!). The stadium is rented from the Council so they don't own it but, they do own 30 acres of land as an asset which makes the club viable given the equity in that , their assests exceed their liabilities it seems. They are planning to use the land to build a youth development area.
Interesting that Cowling reckons that although their gates are small they have a higher percentange than most clubs when it comes to filling their corporate facilities on match days.
If FossettsFarm ever gets built then the same would probably happen, businesses prefer decent modern facilities.
Overall, it seems that they are on a far better financial footing than we are, but that is no surprise!

To be fair, they only turn out for big games. That one was against Baaaarcelona
