The property sale in 2002 seems the most likely cause of the dramatic drop in turnover and costs, but as property is not the company's main business it is not normal accounting practice to show it this way. Rather the profit on disposal should be a separately identifiable line which impacts neither turnover or costs.

If the club has been turned into a profitable business, then it has joined a rare group indeed - not many profesional sports clubs do so in any sport.

Agreed Alex. But I can't see any exceptional items listed anywhere. Very difficult to spot the property effect on any of the figures. Maybe as LI is not a public company it can do its accounting info differently.

Well; thank you for the clear and informed comments on the subject. Compare and contrast with the comments in 'the other place', as they say in Westminster.

James
I am sure you, of all people, would understand that the young gentlemen of St Malachy' were never keen on those from Barrack Street getting above themselves. Clearly talking about annual accounts is such a tetchy subject. I could understand it if it was on principled grounds such as shareholders are exploiters of the working masses and growing fat on the profits made by the labours of others. But I haven't seen any sign of profits at LI and sometimes there doesn't appear to be much productive labour. Our last three lineouts of the season were clearly a last ditch revolt of the workers against the capitalist lackies in Peter's Patch.

Gabriel,

Oh I agree that one belongs with their own, so that is the beauty of LI.

We are one group who SHOULD all be singing from the same hymnsheet but as always the minority try to bu99er it all up.

Still, we shall remain loyal to the badge and to Peters Patch.

Quite so James. I'm thinking we should christen May 11th on the Craic as "Rattle and Pram" day. I think it has quite a ring to it. ;)
