Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Deloitte LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have concluded that the going concern basis of accounting continues to be appropriate. Critical to this is ongoing support from funding partners, who have confirmed financial support for at least one year from the approval of these financial statements, including funding for the Season 2024/25 deficit.”
Significant events
- “The legal case regarding the employment status of National Group referees remains ongoing. A new hearing was held in November 2025 and the Tribunal reserved its decision. Following the year-end, the Board formally approved funding arrangements to cover the Season 2024/25 deficit.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
