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

Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“The director has formed a judgement that the club has adequate resources available to continue operating and to discharge all financial obligations as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. Based upon current expectations and with the continued support of the club's parent undertaking, the club are forecast to have sufficient resources to meet their liabilities for the period to 31 December 2026. As such, the director does not consider there to be a material uncertainty in relation to the ability of the club to continue as a going concern and believes that preparing the financial statements on the going concern basis is appropriate.”
