North Stand Construction Discussion

I was basing on current crowd.

Thank you.

Of course its viable. You could knock £20 off every single matchday ticket sold for league games and it would reduce our turnover by about 0.6% and reduce our profit by 10%.

I think that would be closer to 100% of the profits we’ve made in all but one of the seasons.

Forget turnover it just pays the bills,without the match day income we would be making a loss and failing FFP every year We may be able to reduce ticket income slightly or shift the income from matchday to other tickets but the wiggle room is nothing like some people are suggesting

As i said reducing league matchday tickets by £20 would drop our profit by 10%.

10000 tickets x £20 x 19 games = £3.8m

We made £41.7m last year. We'll be looking to make similar each year too so there is no need for the sky high prices to cream such an insignificant amount to the club when its counter productive In the long run.

We made more profit last year because of money carried over from covid years in which we lost a lot of money. We have never made anything like £41 mill profit before. Think up to covid we were making around £11 mill. Lets see no we are back to normal what our profits are.

We made profit in the covid year when we had one game at home with an attendance of 10k. If we can make money with virtually no fans we can reduce the ticket to more affordable levels.

Is there any indication as to when the expansion is likly to happen if at all? seems like its been rumours for a long time.

The Rags have also reduced food and drink prices, including alcohol in the singing sections to encourage fans to arrive earlier.

That is actually a smart idea. The problem in my East Stand Upper block is that you have no chance of getting a beer because there are not enough outlets.

I thought we would have seen the plans now as I fail to believe they aren’t already done

Perhaps we could stop spunking 50 million a year on agents in future?

It was basically officially confirmed via a club statement in December.

Perhaps the players and their reps say no, do you think we spend that just for a laugh, or do bluemoon posters know the business better than Khaldoun and Sorano

Just reads as more fluff and no real information.

Sounds like a big old corporate addition rather than atmosphere building amendments

 

[Academica]

Kids tickets should never be more than their age. We'll regret it in the future but by then, the excel spreadsheet geniuses who are setting current prices to gain an extra 0.8% on the P&L will be long gone by then and the damage will be done.

That could be the way to go, to attract a younger fan base. Everybody pays whatever their age is.

This is a great idea imho

It doesn’t really doesn’t it? It’s nowt to do with corporate.

I think its just me reading into the "best in class fan experience"

Everyone interperates it differently and I read it thinking it was catering for the elite (very wealthy) fan, it could certainly eat the best fan experience for everyone.
