Biskitman The point is, what's happened to all the Premiership money? We KNOW it hasn't gone on transfer fees. And while we don't know the hard facts about the wage structure, we do know enough to say that it hasn't gone on hugely inflated wages for the players.
On that basis, it's simply unfair to expect supporters to pay any more than when we were last in the Championship, plus a modest increase to cover inflation since then.
Unless JM and his fellow directors can make a convincing case - and that would have to include complete transparency about income and expenditure over the last couple of years - no other approach to ticket pricing can be justified!
according to the figures we made 6 million profit last year after making losses every year previous to that for ten seasons
alot of that profit will have gone on improvements, new players who mainly flopped and increased wages for people who then flopped.
its hard to see us being profitable at all in the championship without a full ground, theyll have to judge what price will get the most through the door without giving them away
get rid of hunt and shorey as high earners for 10million if we are lucky, and buy 6 new players with that cash
the probable 15-20 million profit we make on this year will probably be kept by madejski to pay his money back for all the years he bailed us out and built our ground
instead of using it to get us back up,
and its his money he can do what he likes with it
wish it was otherwise, but it aint
Not a chance. They'll lose too many ST holders. It will be commercial suicide.
You're a funny guy!
