Fine for the Levybots though.

We're just walking ATM machines as far as the club owners are concerned, NOT fans.

You just realised that now?

Where are you watching step 5 for £5? I'm interested to know.
I imagine Wealdstone to be one of the cheapest NL teams...



I'm going to a couple of their pre season home friendlies against MK Dons (tomorrow) and Charlton on Saturday week. I get into both those for a fiver, but only because I have a Spurs ST, the Mrs has to pay a tenner. The away friendly game at Farnborough this Sat is £10 each with a £1 admin fee, the wankers.
Actual NL games are around double the price.

It was £20 and £21 respectively up at Notts County and Wrexham last season.

Newport Pagnell. But it’s a friendly.

In fairness looking at other places locally for league matches it’s going to be a tenner.

Stotfold and Biggleswade FC both charging that.

Edit Hitchin are £13 a bit higher up the ladder.
 
I’ve said it before in my posts that my parents were working class when growing up yet my old man could still take us to football , that’s not the case anymore is it, how many working class families can afford to go to football now a days?
Just because I’m lucky enough to be able to afford to go doesn’t mean I forfeit my right to be annoyed when the club increases prices!
Also a lot of People defending the price increases are also the ones saying we can’t afford to compete with the “bigger clubs” well if that’s the case then charge accordingly for the product!
And the reason I’m discussing it now is because we are in a cost of living crisis and the club decides to charge its fans more to watch the team when it doesn’t need to , the extra revenue generated from events more than covers the loss of European revenue this year!

Does the extra revenue from events cover CL football revenue? I’m not sure about that.

We made a loss last 2x financial results and it was stated without Europe we would need to tighten our belts. Or words to that effect.


That was with ECL football on the 22 results.

We are also going to be paying more interest on a sizeable amount of money.

Past year we had CL football so should have made more.
Be interesting to see the next two years are like as we will then have a season with no European football so we can do the full comparison.

And I get to you it’s only say £4-5m quid we are going to make by changing the prices.
But it’s still needed. We’ve been running at a loss. That’s the bottom line.

So yes I think that holding prices for ST holders was a huge bonus this season. And yeah it probably signals more price rises on the horizon.

Something had to give. 8k members tickets being that something.

But the crazy point is the government is trying to curb our spending but nobody wants to or seemingly is. It’s fucking weird!
 
Over 90% of our financial borrowings of £852.6m, are at fixed rates, with an average interest rate of 2.81%. The average maturity of all our borrowings is 20.4 years, some of which stretch until 2051, ensuring limited impact on the Club’s ability to invest in the playing squad.
2051!
That's a sobering thought. A good number of our regular contributors will be in the ground by then.

Yeah so what’s say £50m - £60m now variable rates of 6% - still at least a couple of million to be found from somewhere. Think I read they refinanced the debts in the US where interest rates have been higher too.

We are still having to pay off £15m of interest every year. That probably swallows up a lot of money generated by non football stuff.

But like I say. Next 2 years we get a picture of CL money and no European money. This is all guesswork.

The ENIC model has always been to run a tight ship. I see nothing changing. Something gets removed from the balance sheet. Replaced somewhere else.

Time for them to build more hotels maybe.
 
Trix on SC in the 'takeover' thread.

👀

Might be worth keeping an eye on this thread, all a bit confusing right now but the murmurings are starting to resurface.


So that's tottenham never being sold then.
 
He's actually right on this.

Despite fools like NotThatTedHughes NotThatTedHughes continually running us down, we are indeed a sleeping giant.




We just need new owners to release our potential

Wealdstone are not step 5, they are step 2 or 1

Step 5 is semi pro and 5 divs below football league
