Registered in a way that doesn't link to his other appointments on Companies House. Am I being thick, genuinely what's the connect between corney, our clubs address of this company, the company itself and product/services it will supply?

Theoutsider Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I agree not uncommon to protect assets this way - an event centre for example. I've no idea what the cost might be but to protect pitch side advertising? How far is protecting of assets taken? Perhaps more about the income which presumably won't belong to the club - but then I guess the funding of the purchase was not done from the club either. I am newer to this than most but so much around the ownership and running of the club is smoke and mirrors and the lack of communication on so many levels is staggering. I've been to every home game since January buying tickets for each online and have never had one email from the club trying to market their services....

Is that because Corney said so or is the money being held by a third party, that money if it isn't already should be transferred into the Trusts bank account for safe keeping.

They both considered the fencing to be a replacement to what we would consider a scoreboard. Maybe you should take it up with them yourself?

GlossopLatic Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Can I ask a question here to the Trust people on this thread. When you started out with the Tifosy thing and set out to raise money for the scoreboard. Did you ever discuss what would happen if you didn't raise enough money to cover the cost of a scoreboard I.E. the situation we are in now? I think you did really well to raise as much as you did but getting a 6 figure sum always looked a tall order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also appears Corney has set up his own LED management company so he can flog it to other football clubs and retain ownership of the board at latics. </nutshell> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you did really well to raise as much as you did but getting a 6 figure sum always looked a tall order. It was the club who started it all. They asked the fans what we would want to raise money for then they set the target with Tifosy. When it was obvious that the target wasn't going to be reached, Simon Brooke agreed that the Trust would step in and help out. The target was lowered to a realistic amount which would still buy a scoreboard and it was reached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddySmoker Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Quite why the reps of the Trust have to explain the events in a timeline again and again is quite amazing. Read the thread people. The Trust should be praised for doing what all the moaners (including myself) want them to be doing. They seem to have 'achieved' protection of the monies. I have some of those scorecards from the cricket which will be fine so long as the score is 4-4. 6-4, 6-6 or 4-6 They will be free. Claim your monies back people. Its all been 'smoke and mirrors' from the club yet again. Will they ever learn? Probably Not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsLen Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I might be wrong here but isn't Corney a director of a LED lighting company rather than a LED management group? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the club have failed to deliver on a promise in the meantime we have had a winding up petition where a liability appears to have been paid at the very last minute. We then have flash new advertising boards which you would think would help bring in more sponsorship money but appear to be going to one if Corney's associated companies. They really do themselves no favours whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaticsLen - the company is called LED Media Ltd, it doesn't sound like a lighting company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be in profit in less than 2 years though. It doesn't sound too much when you break it down like that actually. I wonder if you can claim depreciation on it?

yarddog73 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I worked it out on roughly 30 games a season over the projected 12-15 year life of the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
