This company is the next 5-a-side generation which are generally located in urban areas of the country. At the moment there a only few centres opened throughout the UK, however it is growing. I think they are proposing to build 7 new centres in year 2007 and 5 centres this year alone.
I believe GOAL will be a potential bagger in terms of cash it will generate. I myself play at one of these centres at least twice a month. It costs about 60 to hire a pitch for one hour. It may sound alot but when divide by 10 players its 5.00 its good value and you get fit as well! At my centre there are 20 pitches at my local centre.thats already 1200 in one hour!! The good thing about these centres is that they are open virtually all year round 7 days a week. So cash generated is going to be considerable as it open more centres.The cost of maintenance is next to nothing, just simple and easy things are used nothing fancy or complicated like you see at the fitness centres. The number of staff at my centres are only small so company expenditure must be low as well.
Last Monday 6 March 2006 they announced their impressive results and is continuing to grow and already started paying dividends. They have announced new deal with Umbro for sponsorship.
As you know us Brits love football and now that there is World Cup coming up god knows what cup fever will bring to us...Play football of course!
I think the share price have the potential to grow considerably in the coming months and after the World cup

In fact, looking through the last year RNS statements, the Directors have have been incrediably poor in timing share purchases. Range from 150p - 125p.

OK, they couldn't have forecast the snow which will hinder their profits but nevertheless they don't have a massive amount of headroom with their debt pile.

Doesn't really inspire that much confidence in the company.

All IMO

Disappointing interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2015.

With the UK market not looking terribly encouraging, despite management’s considerable marketing efforts, the Group’s future success appears to be dependent on growth in the United States, a traditionally tough market for UK businesses.
