Just back from the game.....

...I mean the AGM.

The usual number-crunching, fairly boring Q&A, yadayadayada....

The best bit of the night for me was the presentation from Ricky Martin: The board has approved plans to apply for Category 1 status in the new Academy system proposed by the Premier League, this means no longer having to work within the stupid 90-minute travel rule. They'll effectively be quadrupling the amount of money spent P/A on the academy, and hopefully we might be able to start producing some decent players again.

Oh, and we'll be clearing another ?6m off the debt by the end of this season, and will be debt-free by the end of the next one.
