Taff as we are talking accounting, (did some study to Manufacturing trading profit and loss) do you know The lad Price, was involved with Neath Rugby club, came from the Steel company background?
 
Dai....what you write is both insulting and complete bollocks.....it shows what a total tool you are......or should it be "you is", based upon your rather tenuous grasp of grammar. I am now wishing I HAD run over the bloke I saw on a bike as I drove through Penclawdd this summer.
However, it is also unfair to ask Taff whether the accounts are correct since he does not have access to the raw information. But for sure, he can draw conclusions from the accounts and the associated notes. Indeed, he can most surely also draw conclusions from what is NOT written in the accounts.
But, Dai, if you claim any sort of business acumen and experience, you should be ashamed of your statements above.
Happy fishing, by the way.
 
I cant stop laughing here with everyone thinking they know all about the clubs financial business.....Err I dont think so...<laugh> The club accounts is way over anyone of us heads and we should not be concerned at all about it. The club has made significant changes and they have every right to do that. You can either agree with those changes or not but it dont matter which way we choose it wont make any difference on the clubs policy........I myself are loving the new change as i see it as a massive improvement with the way we are doing things, It wont happen over night but the club is heading in the right direction that we all want.....When it comes to money then let the professionals deal with that as it is none of our business unless they say we are about to go into administration and there is no sign of that anywhere and getting rid of the mercenaries on high wages is a brilliant first step in making us a great club....

"It is plain to see that the policy of the club under this lot is to make as much profit as we can and living on a hope and a prayer what we will do in the premiership......If you are a passionate fan and most are you want to see an improvement season after season but that is not the case is it. Any good player we ever have that if it was not for them are sold for a huge profit and we replace them with a poor imitator...Huw once said we dont have to sell anyone ! Who is he trying to kid FFS......We should not sell our best players if we want to achieve anything in the premiership......It is a distant memory now when we were confident of beating every big club and we did that often and we were in every newspaper all around the world on how we went from rags to riches as one of the better sides in the world.......All the papers talk about now is how poor we are and look like relegation candidates season after season and while we have scraped home our fans have had nothing to shout about and have had to watch our team disintegrate in front of our own eyes......What a sad club we have become.......Not a selling club

We are the biggest selling club in the premiership and it is only a matter of time before we are relegated and it will be self inflicted........I dont care but many do and it wont be fair on them.....I have seen enough and cant support the current board and chairman as they know what it takes to be a good side but they do the opposite...."

Dai Rees lived in Beechwood Avenue. The old NatWest Manager in Neath bought the Struel house.



Lived the top end of Beachwood, next door to the tesco’s store branch manager, his wife also worked for tesco’s, it was handy for playing tennis and going for a swim, and walks up the Gnoll, fond memories of those days, drove past there last year, and it was full of traffic and speed bumps, just didn’t have the same look, shame........<ok>


By the way John grew up in Leonard street, he lived next door to the old post office, on the corner. Hot one today out here, sitting in a beach bar in Kalives at the minute.

Very handy for tennis & swimming!

John worked for Tata in Internal Audit - I know someone who worked with him

Enjoy the sun - it’s drizzling here in Neath!

Blimey you two are getting me all nostalgic. I lived in Leonard Street and my best mate in Grammar School lived on Cimla Road next door to the Struels
 
There was something quite amazing about walking over that bridge and then into the puddly fairground. Was thinking the other day, too, about that china auction stall. Even as a small kid I could watch that selling process go on all day.

I agree ss a little kid I would watch for ages the China stall as be banged the plates down on their edge and held up the cups to the light bulb and then ten pound notes being passed up the crowd. Probably more money was spent in that stall than the Swans spend in a transfer window :)
