Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-06-30 vs 2024-06-30

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Going concern
Affirmed

“Notwithstanding the fact the company made a loss for the year of £5,522,579 (2024 - £2,390,790) and had net liabilities of £39,248,265 (2024 - £33,725,686), also net current liabilities at the year end, the directors have continued to adopt the going concern basis of preparation for the following reasons: Pula Sport Limited invests in the group of which the company is part by making available borrowing facilities which confirms the long term commitment that they, and Mr & Mrs SP Lansdown, have to the company and the group. - The Company is trading on a day to day basis within its own cash flow. It was provided with additional funding from the Company's intermediate parent Company, Pula Sport Limited, during the year, which is shown the balance sheet. Subsequent to the year end, no additional funding has been required, however an agreement is in place for Pula to provide funding throughout the coming financial year. The funding requirements in the year was as a result of the pause in the ground share agreement with the clubs which impacted on working capital cash flows. The directors recognise that the Company remains dependent on the support of Pula Sport Limited, a Company owned and controlled by Mr & Mrs SP Lansdown, in ensuring the ongoing, and long-term, availability of intra-group and bank loan finance. There have been no changes to the loan terms in the 2025 financial year. - Pula Sport Limited has confirmed its ongoing support for the company and group. In forming their opinion as to the going concern status the directors have also considered the uncertain economic environment and some weakness in demand for some sports related ticketing events and the principal risks and uncertanties described in the strategic report. The directors are satisfied that, whilst there can be no certainty as to the specific implications for the Company, there are no material uncertainties in respect of the going concern status of the Company. The directors are confident that, taking into account the trading performance post year end, the performance of fellow group companies and their respective sports teams, the forecasts prepared to 30 June 2026 and the commitment by Pula Sport Limited, that the Company (and the group of which it is part) will have sufficient working capital for the foreseeable future, being not less than 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.”
