Rudolf Hucker Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 I accept that there is a different formula for sharing gate receipts in Cup matches but for League matches, these days, the home team keeps all of the attendance revenue. Having good away attendances for League matches thus adds not a jot to their team's finances. If the 15'ers don't do something to address their piss poor home attendances, to at least reach break-even, then those ever so "loyal and true" supporters won't have a team to watch away from home before too much longer ... well, until a phoenix rises from the ashes in a park somewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly for them, I believe break even is beyond them, a full Mem won't cover the running costs so they will be trading at a loss. Still, work is about to start on their new stadium soon...... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attendances is all they have got left to cling on to. My god they are so dead and buried it's unreal. All their loyal supporters who only ever bother to turnout when they play anyone any good must have felt the agony knowing that The Snake was putting in a man of the match performance in a red shirt. We know that they are the gift that keeps on giving, but the gift of Taylor for just a mere £300k was an exceptionally kind donation from the ragbag squatters. Tick tock.

Granted, they scraped out of non league, then instant leapfrog of L2, just, was a good recovery. However, they sit 3 Pts above the relegation zone, in a piss poor League 1. They regularly get hammered and their discipline appears to be going down the pan, faster than my morning clearout..! Last season they did ok. This season COULD turn into a bit of a struggle, if they aren't careful. Maybe Matty Taylor's goals really were worth £10million to them!

If Taylor's goals were worth 10mil, then maybe, at the end of the season and we have got promoted (and won the cup), we could offer him back to Rovers Ask SL nicely if he would write a cheque for a million quid, give them Taylor back and then take the Mem off them. We seem to have too much going on at the Gate to stage car boot sales, which appears to be the Mems 'golden ticket'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realise that spastic is a term so often used (incorrectly) in the past to put down/belittle someone who is disabled or of limited cognitive ability, spastic is relative to muscle, nothing to do with mental ability, then again I wouldn't expect you to know that afterall this isn't the first time you have used a term that is insulting to those less able as a put down to gas heads!

Midlands Robin Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 (edited) I did a back of a fag packet calculation the other day based on our commercial revenue. If we say the sags have an average home gate of 8000 a match and we say they have an average ticket price of £25 per head, according to a figure posted on OTIB recently we are making 2.5 million a year from commercial use of the stadium (meetings, conferences, exhibitions etc), all this means that the sags would need the revenue from 12.5 of their home games just to equal what we make from the commercial use of our stadium. That's half a season. Their new commercial manager is going to have to be bloody good to close that gap.
