Just so you know, I'm not trying to say that Chansiri is infallible or perfect, rather that our prices are a necessary part of trying to fund the club.

bobness Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 3 hours ago, 0114 said: He had us paying high prices before he overspent though. He didn’t put prices up once we overspent. He openly said in one of those fan forums “your ticket prices barely cover anything”. This has always bothered me. If our ticket sales don't make much of a difference anyway, why not make tickets more affordable? Done right, it might even see an uptick of sales in other areas. It's as if the club's ethos has very little to do with thinking about the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really wrong is he 21000 season tickets at say average £550 is roughly 11 million. 1 player on £20000pw takes out over a million a season. We have numerous. Plus day to day running costs all add up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got over it quickly enough when I saw what Ron was doing with the money. Ditto, Harkes, Warhurst, Palmer etc. I soon moved on as I am sure was the case with most other supporters. For the life of me I can't remember Ditto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room0035 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 4 hours ago, @owlstalk said: If anyone can explain why we have the highest ticket prices that would be great Without reading the rest of the thread it is very simple other than tv money the only income for the club is the fans. Most of the sponsors have gone because of the prices charged, the only revenue is from companies with no employees, we don't have much in the way of corporate income and the stadium is barely used outside of match days oh and we don't sell players either. Revenue from tickets and matchdays is about £18m a season, revenue from the tv money is about £7m (as per the 2018 accounts), Compare this to Notts Forest just next to us in your table their income of £25m (same as ours comes from) Sponsorship £1.7m, Catering £1.3m, Grants & Royalties £8m, TV and radio £0.8m, tickets and membership £7.2m, Commercial £1.1m, Programme and other MD income £0.4m, Players 1.6m, retail sales £2.6m. But they made £11m from the sale of players as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you get the brain dead’s who defend him saying we have to pay more to cope with FFP... when he’s openly said it makes little to no difference.

All good ideas in principle the reality is very different. a lot of excuses for poor management there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
