Financial Results Out

No I don't think so mate, happy posting

It's like North Korea having Ratty as a mod!

Please re-instate my thread and response(s).

Kim Jong Rat!

Chris logically, and as a sensible moderator would do, this should be locked. You do your self no favours with the members of this board by supporting Rattea. And using a winking smiley in the circumstances is just childish.

I'm not supporting rattea. If I was then why would I reopen a thread that he has seemingly closed

This thread despite the circumstances has a lot of replies and will remain open

I think this has become a lot of hot air over nothing.

As a former mod on this site over several years, the rule of thumb is to delete duplicate threads. There are quite a few 'rules of thumb' but what people should understand is that it is very easy to make snap decisions that others may not agree with and that, in hindsight, you may not agree with yourself (as a moderator) after further consideration.

It happened to me on quite a few occasions. The closed thread has been reopened in this case which I think was the correct thing to do so problem resolved. There is the matter of a missing post within that thread but that can only be checked on Bloomer, however perhaps the simplest solution (and considerably less painful for the rest of us) would be to just repost it now the thread is back open.

This isn't life or death and seems to be taking up far more of peoples time than it really warrants. Perhaps keep this to the refs room!

[quote="Gift_of_the_Gabb"]People are best advised to read the statement rather than Rattea's untruthful spin.

About half the statement is about the results up to June 2013 and the rest is looking forward. So why Rattea, do you say " 'ALL' the comments are about now" ?.
Suppose it allows you to miss out reporting the near 10% drop in turnover 2012-2013, for which drop in TV receipts ( which can be linked to performance on the field presumably - my comment)is given as a main cause.

Its quite legitimate for a board to point out promising things that have happened since June 2013 to give confidence. Given we are 2/3 way through the next financial year its quite OK for them to say they expect the turnover to increase significantly in the next set of accounts cos it will be based on FACTS.
Its good news tha

Gabb, there's no talent to moderating this andi know you didn't suggest this but I don't consider myself any better/ different to anyone else.

First I'm a normal poster like everyone else. 24 years supporting the rams.
I'm moderated aswell as everyone else and as moderators we all have to follow the rules the board is told to abide by

Should the board need another moderator then all posters will be offered the opportunity to apply

I must have missed that! when did you stop modding ray? any reasons? I'm sure I speak for the majority when I say you were very good. always very fair and used common sense.
