Club 1867 Launch


Recommended Posts

The problem with the 1867 plan it won't help the profit and sustainability one bit.

 

You pay money to the club for a season ticket on promotion of the side, as well as this you get a discount on your season tickets until promotion from next season. This is the gist of the deal.

 

So in order for the club to release any money from the sale of this they would have to achieve promotion so any money that comes in will be classed as deferred income i.e. cannot be released as additional revenue until the stipulation of the deal are realised i.e. promotion.

 

Even if they argue that they are giving discounts on season tickets that does not start till next season so just covers the cost of lost season ticket money.

 

Other than putting some money in the bank to pay the bill the whole scheme is a complete farce.

 

I would suggest the club get a proper trained advisor in before wasting anymore time on a scheme that on the face of it will in no way help FFP or Profit and Sustainability as it will be a balance sheet item not profit and loss to those accounts people out there.

Leaving aside the future lost revenue from Prem ticket sales and the admin costs of running the scheme and assuming:
1) a ratio of full to concession tickets of 3:1
2) equal take-up across the 3 stands
For every 1000 subscribers (750 full, 250 over 65) the club would receive:
1 year: £490,000
2 years: £980,000
3 years: £1,469,167
4 years: £1,959,167
5 years: £2,449,167
So if you take the median of 3 years as average the club would get £1.47m per 1000 joining the scheme
That equates to £28,253 per week. Less than the pay of 1 of our top earners.
As a solution to our P&S difficulties you'd have to be aiming for a take-up of several thousand. 
Realistically, how many people can you see taking the plunge?

These figures are a bit more refined than I've been thinking but thereabouts. I've been negative about all this, I see that now, and if folk want to buy into it then please go ahead and do it, but I don't see how it will make a big enough difference. The figures are just so far apart as regards what it will raise vs our wage bill. 

 

I know Abdi etc are players that could have worked out, but when I think about the money that's been wasted it makes me sick when we're asked to pay more. 

 

Sell. Some. Players. 

 

Reduce. The. Wage. Bill.

The way Dc is managing the club I would be checking if you could pass it to your grand kids.

By the end of his contract including the fee we paid we will have wasted in the region of £7m on one playing in Abdi who made 16 appearances scoring 1 goal putting that into perspective that's about 1/3 of the clubs turnover last season on 1 player, this of course does not include the amount of money spent on not getting him fit for the last 3 years that could make the £7m a lot higher.

You talk some reyt ballacks....

Let me explain what i was originally saying, As people are picking up on chosen posts and trying to be comedians. 

 

I was initially reacting to posts claiming the club are in financial trouble. In my opinion the club is effectively debt free but not free from potential FFP sanctions.. 

 

1-The club has no external loans or debts to any banks meaning any future sale would mean potential new owners would have no external debt to manage. See part 16 of financial statement posted @Rickygoo. 

 

As an example: if Chansiri had taken a 20 million loan against SWFC from a bank (as did Dave Richards) Then any future owner would inherit that debt. DC hasn't done this and has funded himself. 

 

2- Chansiri has put in 38million of his own money which is Part 17 of same statement. Should he decide to sell he would try and recoup most of his outlay with an inflated valuation of the club. 

 

Example : if Chansiri valued the club at 80 million and a potential new owner valued it at 50 million. 

They would agree a deal to sell say 65million and that sale would include Chansiri's 38 million. Meaning DC would  get (65million sale - 38 million loan) = 27 million 

 

So effectively SWFC as a club are debt free while  DC (owner) will be the one that will lose money. 

 

I would start to worry if DC took a loan from a bank as this would mean he has stopped funding the clubs debt himself.

We already have an expert on P&S at the club. DC told us at the forum he knew more about it than anybody.

 

Sure Willow will back me up on this.

John Redgate actually helped to write the legislation for FFP

DC is debt free

SWFC would not be should DC decide to pull it 

So it's hardly risk free for Wednesday and the supporters

So given that according to mardiola we have players on 40k a week 

we will have to sell 20 Kop x 5 year 1867 packages to cover one week's wages  is that right ?

 

so to cover one player's wages for 3 months we need 240 people 

 

just how many thousand people does he seriously think will take this up tor will be able to take this up to be of any use whatsoever?

 

have i misread this ?

thanks so I am right this is a seemingly pointless exercise   unless taken up by almost every ST holder  I really think DC thinks people can afford it and cannot understand why not 

 

granted this scheme is only for people who can afford it  or I hope so  i would hate people to get into loaning cash to buy into neverland

We are not debt free...

 

Think the bigger point is Chansiri has and will seemingly continue to squander the sizeable sums he has and is pumping in. 

 

His management of the club is all about the short term.

Oh, I forgot. 

 

Yes, we spent 30 million (in transfer fees) just to keep us in the second tier. Nothing to do with promotion.

We have without doubt one of the most patient and loyal fan bases, and yes if you buy a season ticket it's good value, this year I am out of the country more so I can't justify buying one. I bought my old man one and my nephew for their Xmas gifts but when I come over I rarely go as I refuse to pay on the gate the prices, Birmingham apart as that was a excellent price. I subscribe to I follow... I feel I do my bit.

How's about the club doing something for the fans for once? 

 

This latest idea is just embarrassing and to be quite frank, laughable.

 

Like many, I feel absolutely disconnected from my CLUB and it pains me that I can't come over and spend a day out at the footy with my old man without thinking I am ripped off.

There is no one to blame but DC for our situation, good intentions maybe but now it's gone tiits up, the fans are expected to try and bail us out.

 

Some of the posts on here should be sent to the club as the ideas I read regarding generating money are 1000 times better than some hair brained idea called 1867 .

Playing to an audience now. Must be a first for you.

This is just so bizarre. I read it several times, then read this thread through to try and understand it. I cannot see why anyone would buy this, anyone at all.  You can buy a season ticket next month or you can use the same money to bet on us getting to the PL next year in a brilliant unbeaten season when we finish top and promoted by Easter (which you will miss because you spent the money on the bet instead of a season ticket). Have I got that right ?  Surely not.

 

I have argued for innovation and initiative at the club but this is so unrealistic it's ridiculous. And, as others have indicated it would need a massive take up to make any difference. The wages bill has to be trimmed quickly, anything else is tinkering.
