However, on the back of a virtual fag packet (ie employing all the data and graphs used by the Government at the moment)*, I calculate that our income from attendances per home match equates roughly to £20,000 (taking season ticket payments into account, and discounting for concessions and juniors), so £36,000 doesn't even cover two lost home matches. * Attendance say a conservative (small c) 1,600 x average £12.50 = £20,000. (OK, I didn't actually take season ticket payments into account, and discount for concessions and juniors, because I would have had to adjust my graph after publishing it on the forum). Tricky, slippery, buggers stats, aren't they?! But I think you're broadly right - the money we're getting is a drop in the ocean. We're going to be relying on T&O to bail us out this season. Let's hope the 'why aren't we in the EFL already - the owners are so tight' brigade finally wake up and realise how lucky we are to have such good owners. |

Agree with you JDL Financial survival is the name of the game this season T&O astute & realistic money management will get us through till normality resumes Money will be the main factor in promotions, relegations & club folding for this season and several beyond

And presumably Oliver isn't allowed to come over here, as he's based in France. Lucky we have these Zoomy things so he can speak to his team!

You are making a huge presumption JDL, when it comes to Terry and Oliver bailing the club out.
At no time have either said they will do that or indeed are able to do that.
It may cost them a figure approaching £250,000 and perhaps more.
Great owners they are but I suspect their business are under the cosh too
I agree we are lucky to have them, but I don't think they have bottomless wallets.
Everything I have heard suggests that funding revenue losses is not on the agenda
So what then ? |
