Is this place still funded by Smudge with some of his Oatcake millions loose change? Well over 20 years ago now but the best conversation I ever heard on an away coach came from two young supporters trying to calculate how much money The Oatcake made. Something along the lines of 14000 (average attendance) x 80p (per issue) x 23 league games a season = £257,000 a year not including cup games x 10(? however many years it had been running at the time) = £2,576,000 in the bank. |

Then we got into the Premier League with crowds of 27,000 and charged two quid an issue. |

What happened on the weird day in 2007 where Rivals decided to totally overhaul their entire system, erasing all past posts and leaving a peculiar hollow shell of a messageboard system behind? It seemed to come totally out of the blue with the only warning being a post on another team's board. It also killed Rivals stone dead by the end of that week.

Corks you're right OS, my start: Jan 18, 2004 at 6:36pm
After rivals went down for the first time. I think we gave it a further go, but this just seemed much better and Rivals was given the boot.

Yeah but there's still a fair amount of overheads to take off and paying for those tax accountants isn't going to be cheap  |

A slight flaw, not all of those 14,000 bought the magazine, probably only a small percentage did. |

We did consider leaning over the seats and telling them this but didn't want to spoil the entertainment In hindsight I should have chipped in with a "Smudge also rakes in £5000 for every Radio Stoke interview" |

The glory days. Funnier and far, far less toxic.

Did those kids add in the massive profits from 'With Chayze'? I did hear on the 'grapevine' that Smudge and Dave spent a month in Disneyland in the US after that was published... AND they took GD and Bonkolina with them!  OS. |
