How else would 'Arry be able to recruit the normal army of players?. On the bright side I suspect Dopey would be happy with 'Arry's dog becoming the gas's new tax consultant.

I will be 56 soon and I have learned what is acceptable and what is not acceptable as the years have gone by, to say something like "you can't teach an old dog new tricks", is tantamount to saying I am too lazy to moderate the way I speak or that I actually don't care whom I offend by using outmoded language. I have no doubt that it is beyond them to change the way they think, but I hope their moderators do their duty in censoring how they express themselves. It annoys me because I feel like all people of a certain age get lumped in with this stereotype, as someone who grew up with Rock Against Racism, bands of mixed ethnicity and supporting a team that contained black players, I have never looked on someones skin colour as being a defining reason for whether I like them or not.

Bar BS3 Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 1 hour ago, Midlands Robin said: 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. £25 average ticket price at the Mem..?! You can take a third off of that before you even start getting close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgetting season ticket rates, early bird discounts etc. Based on 75% adult & 25% concession (probably a higher proportion of that should be concession) works out at £17 average. Based on their reported season ticket sales of 5,500, at an average per game of around £13 per adult. You could guestimate that their average, 8k attendance, matchday ticket sales being in the region of £90k That would mean them needing 27/28 home games per season, just to match our commercial income.
