unfortunately stat box went out of business nearly 3 years ago making me redundant from head office in the process

Balls my bet is they don't even pay you, just the council make you have it! LOL!

Stobart is enough that we don't have our shirt coated in sposnors on every inch anymore!

Of course your club has taken the descion not to have more
sponsorship money so your shirt isn't covered in sponsors!!

Indeed we have..

Not seen your finances for the last twelve months.. are they good enough to publish??
Do they feature a loss like ours being largely due to £1.8million pounds being invested into the infrastructure of the club to make sure that we will be irresistible for a Sooper Leek licence next time??...
Do they show revenue of close to a £1 million which wont be affected by the aforementioned investment??
Presumably some of any loss you may have will be caused by your world class accredited academy and youth structure that you have in place??

OR!

Are Stobart paying more to stop that happening?

Yes - that's exactly how I feel. All we can do is try to ensure that we are one of the chosen when the real decision for 2012 licenses is made (if it hasn't been made already !).
