Going concern: noted by the trustees or auditor
“The Stadium continues to provide support whenever required and for whatever reason. The Stadium supports the rehoming of the Greyhounds as a moral duty and a thank you to the service the Greyhounds have provided them with. There is a debt outstanding to the Stadium but there is no requirement or date to payback outside of our means and there is no interest or penalties attached.” — page 5
