1. When the price was set we were 4 points away from being safe with 6 games to go. DA flipped that right up but the club set the price.
2. It is reported we made a loss last year with our relatively large average gates. That tells me the wages the chimps were on exceeded our income targets.
3. We don't have a sugar daddy so the money we have available has to come from corporate, retail, sponsorship and the gates. The more money through the door the better the signings
4 ST price for price per game is still very good value in my eyes.
Now I know some will come out with dull maths and give it yea but if we sell a thousand more STs at a reduced rate of last seasons prices we will have more money. Unfortunately that won't happen. We have a solid core of ST holders which won't go up tremendously and probably won't drop off that much. Maybe a few 100 who will just turn up on a Saturday anyway and pay higher prices .
A lot of fans were having a go at the budget last season. I don't believe the budget was the issue but the man spending it was however we can't have it both ways. More money in will mean higher budget and as fans we need to help the cause.
Have one less pint before the game it will soon make up the difference
Personally I don't think paying around 19 pound per game, which I am, is great value as a ST holder, I think it is about where it should be anyway imo.
That is only if you have the fortune to have the cash up front, as there is no interest free option this year so if you get it on finance it increases further.
