Since when was an accountant a property valuation expert? 

The same way an estate agent is, you look at the market. It's just a guess on what is happening at the time. Don't forget they had forensic accountants employed to look at the mess and when you take all that into consideration you come up with a number

Well done Bolton fans. Thanks for the support, shows fan pressure works again.

I really wish you would disappear from this forum. Go back to Blackpool and build sandcastles or something.

Keep contributing Basil, experience is invaluable at this time. Your contributions are welcomed by the thinking majority.

Understand what you are saying but surely the Council can see the importance for the local economy of having a thriving football/rugby team as well as providing sporting facilities for the community as a whole.

Well if they do they haven't been making a very good fist of showing it. And are they commited to providing such a facility as they are having to develop X amount of new dwellings by whenever. New houses bring economic development to an area as well, 365 days a year and attract new business as well.

Agreed and knowing this surely this is where as fans our efforts should be aimed.

problem being that if they put a CPO on it, they can use it for whatever they have identified as priorities for the Borough. Would that be a sports complex or housing?

It's a good question.  I am in the financial world but that's not my area and it's too important to have an educated guess

I suggested in another thread that it may be set up as a CIC and looked at the tax situation, but it is all a bit vague, as charities and CICs  are all subject to tax, but these can be offset, not registered for tax, how the money is accrued, etc from my understanding. It's a tax accountant that needs to give the advice I think, or ask Rishis Mrs what is best.

Do referees nowadays not have fucking homes to go to

Well I gave that the kiss of death

Blame me

I'd take a 0-0

Hoping today’s loss won’t be too damaging. 

Mr Motivater being optimistic again, I see.

I never understood how the ROC was allowed to participate in the Olympics, If you are Russian and banned, what does it matter if you are seen as clean? Surely a ban is a ban. 

Whilst I don't really trust any high performing Olympic team, Russia is a govt sponsored doping project who have no respect for true competition,

I thought the humble pie after the failed strike was common knowledge. 

Correct. Thats why it is not common knowledge in Wigan and an obfuscation.

A Wigan Sheesh is four pies  as they have to  take a break because of the pie sweats and the word shit comes out that way. Wiganers dont care who the doner is as long as they get the pie.

I have posted before about how Wiganers calling themselves an pie eaters is just an obfuscation and nothing to do with the amount of pies they eat. If you want to know the real reason just ask.

Speaking of cuisine, first time I’ve seen a ‘Wigan Kebab’ sold at BP on Saturday. For those uneducated types, it’s a meat & potato pie and mushy peas inside of a muffin. Was tasty but pricey at £4.50 a go.

Sorry mate a Wigan Kebab is 3 meat and potato pies on a skewer. Thats a breakast barm you had, lol

As a side note I can remember going into their club nearly 50 years ago and after a few pints asked for a sandwich and was told they'd only baguettes left, a beef one of which I bought having no clue what one was ( being a simple Oldham lad ).

After consuming a really good beef and salad baguette ? I decided to purchase another for half time only to be told they only had ham ones left. I bought one after jokingly expressing my disappointment at there being no beef one's left.

 

The next season we returned to the midlands and on entering the social club went to order drinks to be greeted by a barmaid saying "We've done extra beef one's this year !".

Naturally I bought two, even though I'd brought butties on this occasion.

 

Sorry if I've bored you but it sticks in my memory as a thoughtful gesture and was indicative of the hospitality we received at many grounds in those days.  

Jeeez, that was Nouveau Cuisine back then. You were being a pioneer. When did you first spot a baguette in Oldham? Did you tell people it's the future

Just speculating, but there may be longer term plans if Mo pisses off and a DOF is required. As usual we don't know what's going on behind the scenes.

Or Shez is having a bigger influence, we will have to see who takes over his role.

I'm putting this to bed having given the correct information.

I was basing it on Dave's comment. I was only arsed to reply because of your inference that it could be deemed to be OK, when no one had said that. I couldn't give a toss about the drink driving laws in the IOM. I don't drink and having been there, I won't be returning any time soon. 

Well. Can I not provide correct information, or express an opinion on something that is incorrect and which you were happy to post about without knowing the facts.

It doesn't matter how far over the limit you are if you are over the limit. That we both agree on I think.

If I caused offence by being sarcastic, I apologise. It is something I feel strongly about.

Five times the two limits is approximately the difference between drinking four pints and drinking ten. Neither alright, but very different. 

At police headquarters, testing equipment gave a result of 131, where the legal limit is 35. Ref: https://www.three.fm/news/isle-of-man-news/former-footballer-handed-suspended-sentence/

The legal alcohol limit in England, Wales and Northern Ireland for driving is 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood or 35 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath. Ref: https://www.met.police.uk/advice/advice-and-information/rs/road-safety/alcohol-drug-driving

The drink drive limits are the same as on mainland UK. Ref: https://www.rhinocarhire.com/Drive-Smart-Blog/Drive-Smart-Isle-of-Man.aspx#speedlimits

Sounds the same to me as it says he tested on equipment at the police station and not that he took a blood test by a dr

Whatever

It's not quite as pissed as it sounds bearing in mind that the limit on IOM is less than half what it is here

Oh, thats alright then! Obviously he wasnt aware that he would be over the limit

Bear in mind he's in the IOM. They're a lot tougher on penalties than our courts.

See this https://www.three.fm/news/isle-of-man-news/former-footballer-handed-suspended-sentence/

 

Jesus, thats is pissed.

Maybe thats why he was asking for reminiscences for a new book. To give him something to do if he got sent down.

I hear Ricky got a five year driving ban on the IOM. At least he didn't get jail, they're pretty strict over there. Naughty boy.

5 years, how many times has he been done? Or doesit go on the reading?
