If the club has no boxes used and pays £2,000 a month in electric but when it is using all the boxes it pays £2,500 a month then the cost of the boxes per month is £500. They should be able to make probably at least 50% profit selling the boxes at £22,500 each year and this is based on the quality of the food and drink being what you expect in a top restaurant. Not sure the pie and peas approach will work for a corporate entity. Its a good idea if you are down at the dog track though. That's one way of looking at it...but. If you borrowed money to build/develop the boxes then that has to be paid back so you've got to add that in. Any business asset is written down in value over a set period or over it's lifetime. If you don't add a bit on (quite a bit) you get to the end of the life of the asset when it becomes useless and you've got no money to replace it. Nothing is ever simple.

Absolutely spot on Grandad. It seems that somewhere in the deepest recesses of our once great club, things are changing; and changing for the better. It's a paradigm shift I honestly didn't think would happen. Why it is happening, and from where the change is emanating, remains to be seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRADDO Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 So basically, when DC previously told us he hiked prices to 40k to make a profit, he was talking utter bobbar. Who'd have thought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And shame on all those who were sycophantically siding with the chairman and slagging off the “10 Bob millionaires”. Funny how now we’re back in the pub league and money is tight that opinions have changed and we are begging them to come back. Yep - even tried it again in this thread. All gone a bit quiet now though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest timrud Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Really liking the positive moves made by the new COO - credit has to go to the chairman for finding the right candidate and giving him the space to operate. So far, as a club, we've bounced back as well as possible - lets hope it continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelowl Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 What isn't factored in by many to the pricing and profit or not on the boxes, is the increased connection to the community and local business via corporate guests and the goodwill it generates now and in the future. That is the tack that should've been employed from the start; as should an affordable ticket pricing policy, but we are where we are, hopefully starting on a new course so supporting it is important. I'd like to see interaction with schools and clubs again, trying to get those kids engaged with the club it's incredibly important for the future. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlinexile Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 It's increasingly clear that Chansiri is off somewhere licking his wounds and is allowing people who aren't morons to actually run the club for once. I don't think anyone really ever bought that the costs of heating and lighting a small room for a few hours and providing a five course dinner for a dozen people and a pie are in excess of £20,000, did they? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every other club you see that does hospitality tells you how much the package is and you can pay for it there and then. Does this mean some bargaining will take place? As in they might say £75 per person for the Dooley restaurant but if I said £140 for 2 they might say deal? Would be interested if someone who has worked in hospitality has views on this approach, I don’t get it, or do you tend to make money getting people to email in for a price? I used to take guests to Dooley’s quite often. Then they tried to pull my pants down for the play off against Udders. I have never been back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually a pricing strategy like this means if you have to ask you can’t afford it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
