Sometimes they can’t afford to fight those with deep pockets. Fare enough I didn't see the posts but it's hard to see DC has done anything wrong without evidence to the contrary.

I don't know why we have sold all the boxes.

Indoor Owl Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) 1 hour ago, @owlstalk said: Thing that I cant get my head around is this If corporate boxes don't generate significant profit then why do football clubs fall over themselves to build as many of them into their stadiums as possible? Sometimes they even redevelop whole stands purely in order to accomodate more of them They do generate money at the higher end, but more importantly, it tends to be steady revenue: Corporate boxes typically sell at the same rate regardless of team performance, and often times are paid for and go unused. That, and even outside of game time they can be used for events: When my company looked at possible event venues, a corporate room in Yankee stadium was $7000 USD for a night - even though the baseball season was over. Madison Square Garden for a night when the Rangers were actually playing was around $18 000. Serious cash to be made if you have the venues, even if there is no actual sporting event to be had. The boxes are at 60% occupancy now, but if (when) we get promoted I'll bet it's not going to stay that way for long. Or at least, that is the lure of them.

Every one of his ask the chairman had made like he knows what he is doing but it is anything but. We have an aging under performing squad, good young players not tied down to long contracts meaning they can leave for nought no sponsorship, no corporate sponsors as the prices are just too high, no 150th anniversary as no one bothered to do anything, club shirts still not all available, a manager who thinks two wins means he's a world beater but still we play the boring dier rubbish. All in all give it 6 months if we are not promoted i see DC selling us before he has to put his hand in his pocket. Instead of using the cash cow fans and the FFP excuse Every time someone says why are you not putting any money in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtawnyowl Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 2 hours ago, HirstWhoScoredIt said: i must have told this story 20 times. Box holders sign contracts. Return to club. Wednesday reach play offs. Box holders told £5K increase and change in payment terms. Contracts not being honoured. Wednesday lose at Wembley and tell Box holders actually we’ve changed our mind again, you can have it for original agreed price but on different payment terms. At that point, Wednesday lost Box holders not because of the price but because that’s just not the way most of us do business. Loads of us have told you the same story. Nothing more to say on it - so I won’t be. Is it only 20 times ? It seems many more than that to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
