Harrysgame Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Really do not know why so many on here are getting all stressed by the price of a Box that costs 40k, if CC lowered the price to 20K would you all rush out and buy one? Are some of you writing letters to complain about the price of Bentley cars .. No. Just like anything else if you can afford it buy one if not what does it matter! Should just close the thread getting boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animis Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 2 minutes ago, StudentOwl said: Very good point... but surely it's already pretty obvious for anyone who wants to check that these boxes are standing empty? In my mind raffling them (or even just one a week) off is no more flagging the issue than just the simple fact that they sit abandoned every home game... but if it is true you're probably right It's a shame to see the boxes empty - it was quite eerie last season sat in a largely full South stand with lines of boxes with the lights off behind us. DC will no doubt have a plan, but alienating the corporate side of the business seems to go against the normal footballing community approach.

Should just close the thread getting boring. A Bentley has a market price and yes, you then take it or leave it. Boxes also have a market price based on our competitors - say United, Derby, Forest, Brum, Middlesborough etc. If we are there and there abouts on price, and he still can't shift them then we would have a problem - double the (market) price and leaving empty isn't a good approach IMO.

Bing Cosby Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 At current count Owlstalk has 30369 members. Neil could put a statutory £2 charge on everyone to raise the funds for an Owlstalk box. They'd still be 10k + left for hookers, streamers and balloons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nero Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 58 minutes ago, steelowl said: sorry don't agree that the income will make any significant difference and challenge anyone to show me in the accounts where it does There are probably 20 plus major incomes streams. Its a 60% increase in income on the boxes (if sold). Do that on all income streams and etc etc. 2015.16 Turnover rose by £1.1m to £14.9m during the period, an increase attributed to a three per cent rise in average league attendance to 21,997 plus improved revenue from commercial activities. 2016.17 Since then attendance has risen to 27,129 including play off game. That's around a 25% attendance increase while prices have risen so income from the gate has risen too. Business expertise innit. Sorry but the evidence is clear. The DC regime is bringing success.

I'd say other businesses linked with Chansiri will be legally listed as box owners. Nothing wrong with that if indeed it's the case, the club has to look at every viable option available for increasing revenue streams that doesn't break Football League rules. How is it a way round FFP if no f**ker buys one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
