Quote Highlander="Highlander"The important thing in getting to SL is that we would get an upgrade in central funding from £450k to £1.8m. So not counting any guarantees from Provident which may or may not be there, there's a funding uplift of £1.35m, which covers a lot of tickets'"
I was waiting for someone to point this out about the massive income lift from getting into SL.
Along with Provident and extra gates it will easily cover the loss of 2k tickets.
5% cut is also nothing to worry about when the starting figure is so high for a championship club.
Don't compare this deal to the idiotic £60 ST sales. We will still be paying over £200 which is still a decent price for the club - and we all feel like we have been given something.
Well done Mr Green for giving these incentives and generating interest - but knowing the clubs back is covered if he has to pay out on them. It feels like something a "proper" businessman would think of - a win - win situation.
