Going concern

Affirmed

“On the basis of their assessment of the company's financial position and resources, the Directors believe that the company is well placed to manage its business risks. Therefore, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approving these financial statements. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”

Significant events

• “One particularly eye-catching event came in the form of a highly impressive trek, when a group of Foundation fundraisers took on the mammoth feat of scaling Mount Kilimanjaro. (...) an amazing profit of over £125,000.”
• “The stand-out event was, of course, our Legends match against Celtic, bringing in over £350,000.”
• “The 24/25 season saw some notable successes on the pitch, as our U14s reached the final of both the PGA Cup and the Nike Super Cup, while our U12s secured league title success in the Timperley District Junior Football League.”
• “With the women's first team qualifying for the Champions League and reaching a third successive FA Cup final, featuring Academy graduates such as Ella Toone and Millie Turner, it is evident that our talent pathway is strong and what we do is working well.”
• “Away from the football pitch, ex-players once again showed their support at our annual Charity Golf Day. A brilliant event and a staple of our fundraising calendar, (...) helped us to raise £54,218.”
• “At each and every match, our fundraising team host the matchday lottery which always proves popular amongst our fans and this season generated nearly £290,000.”
• “online auctions via Match Worn Shirt added an additional £49,115 to that impressive total.”
• “our Skills Lab - located in the club's museum and now entering its third year of operation - continues to offer a unique learning experience for fans visiting the ground from all over the world. (...) raising over £76,000 illustrating its success and popularity.”
• “During the 2024/25 season, we held two Dream Days. The first took place in November 2024 and the second in May 2025. Fans with serious and life-limiting illnesses had the opportunity to meet the men's first-team squad, receiving autographs, taking photos and watching them training.”

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
