Davkaus Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 (edited) There are precisely 2 search results for footballroadtrips on the entire site, which could be an unfortunate coincidence. Bloody weird to go and promote an unaffiliated local company in a thread that's had no activity for the last 2 months though.

VillaAlex Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 (edited) New article in the Birmingham Mail announcing liquidation and customers will be getting refunds (yeah yeah...). Also seemed to change company name at some point once the bad reviews started coming in. Funny that if you look at their Facebook multiple people have been waiting years for thousands of pounds. Probably funded a lavish lifestyle globally though. Makes me so angry the more I read. Edited June 25 by VillaAlex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 (edited) What a sad story and hope them fans get the money back but doubt it. Some of them posts in the City thread are very ironic now calling them financial cheats Edited June 25 by Zatman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 There was that time they took Zach Braff on his stag do though... It did seem like they operated as advertised until Covid. They must have spent the money they'd received for all the trips they'd had to postpone then downhill from there at a guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The business was £300k in debt in July 2019 according to Companies House end of year accounts, and had £0 cash in the bank. Covid coming along won't have helped, but it looks like the business was already functionally insolvent before the pandemic. I have some sympathy in that I run a small company, and I know you are often just one or two (un)lucky events away from success or failure. But dragging it out for several years and continuing to accept money from ordinary punters does not look good at all. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Stevo985 Posted June 25 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted June 25 Yeah I have nothing but respect for people who go out on a limb and start a business on their own. And I have a lot of sympathy for those small companies that end up in trouble, it must be horiffic. But when that results in scamming innocent people out of their hard earned money, they can get to **** 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Also that video is from 4 years ago and it's 240p. That's just so lazy and amateur it's untrue, horrific look for a business even if it is being broadcast to 300 people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume that involved some form of dealing with their representatives. But yes, clearly someone trying to act bigger than their station, and a con artist at the same time.

icouldtelltheworld Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Revisiting that Tripadvisor page, I've found it quite funny that they're rated 25/26 of things to do in Tamworth. Whichever company has achieved a lower rating should probably just pack up and call it a day now 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's basically the equivalent of someone claiming to 'work in the film industry' who's a bellhop in an LA hotel. Having met a few footballers, even having dealt with them in their role as footballers, does not equal 'working in the industry'. Football walting at its finest.
