-- Another turnover increase sees us eclipse the 150 million pound barrier but expenses continue to climb and we needed a very recent £16.3 million chairman investment to get us close to break even on the year. We’re back to a manageable pre-transfer window bank balance and average attendance continues to inch closer to capacity. Still, no new stadium coming.
Contract Extension
-- We extend the contract of reserves goalkeeper
Steven Potter for another three years. He started 16 reserves games for us last year and only gave up 8 goals, with 10 clean sheets. Pretty impressive and he’s starting right now for England’s U21 team as well. He’s only a 1.0/2.0 prospect but worth keeping around.
