@owlstalk Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Does anyone know the answer to this one? When the big wage players have gone and their wages are off the wage bill, does the high ticket prices therefore mean we'll be rolling in it or will we still be losing money?

ChinaOwl Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 The high prices are aimed at Pay On The Gate supporters. The answer to your question, thinking logically, is it depends on the number of POTG supporters that attend. Surely, if the quality of the football is poor and the results remain negative, the situation will remain the same or get worse. If POTG numbers stay the same or increase but the costs reduce, then the net impact will be increased revenue (but the latter case is unlikely unless substantial investment is made in strengthening the squad).

vulva Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I thought it was a rolling 3 year average. I may be wrong on that one. The marketing of the renewal 3 year season tickets in February will take some considerable thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mkowl Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 You have to understand that DC is bankrolling the high wages. He has put in 10's of millions to do this so far. Possible the answer is that all that will happen is DC just reduces the amount he puts in quid pro quo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 The losses will be reduced to what extent will depend on revenue into the club. If players are released and one or two sold then there might not be any losses until we build again. I think the need is to try and break even this season, which would allow a bit more room next season over a 3 year period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrickyTrev Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 When the big wage players have gone we can all expect a reduction in ticket prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latemodelchild Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Depends on how much we lose this year. Its a 3 year thing for FFP innit? So it'll depend on whether we've got any wiggle room. Either way though we have a rebuilding job to do. Just a case of what we can afford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is because he is bankrolling high earners with his cash and not with earned income from the club that we are in breach of FFP. That is why it was introduced. It is his fault we are in a mess.

A function of being "a successful businessman" is being able to foresee potential threats and make contingency to deal with them. Being fleeced in football by agents and all manner of parties with vested interests is as highly predictable as day following night. If you cannot even plan for that, you certainly are in the wrong line of business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animis Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I doubt whether we'll see POTD prices come down - maybe a freeze, or reduction in categories to take the top cat down in price. The pricing strategy only had credibility in the period when you're 'going for it' - essentially watching the U23s and league one players won't attract anyone.

Mr Farrell Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 When they are gone, we'll still have someone in charge who doesn't know what he's doing. He is the root cause of all our issues, and until that is fixed, we will continue to regress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
