Going concern: noted by the trustees or auditor

“The principal risk going forward is the poor condition of the stadium roof and surrounding cladding, which has been deteriorating for at least five years. While responsibility for roof and cladding repairs rests with the landlords, incoming rainwater threatens the ongoing condition of the bowls carpet, which would have to be replaced at significant cost to the charity.”

Per its FY2025 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
