Quote: ScouseViking "They will struggle to make it to the end of the season without entering administration IMO, will MK step back in and bankroll them once again at that point? Or has that shipped sailed once and for all?'"
He would be silly to get involved again, As soon as he took the club over It was only going to go one way for me and that has proved to be the case in the end.

£20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000.
The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.
There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them. :d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_76030.jpg
Quote: wrencat1873 "Once you start factoring kids tickets into the equation, your average of £20 ticket is down to pan.
Kids season tickets are for "nothing" and usually they give admission both home and away ??'"
Corporate tickets, Kids tickets, season tickets, beer, food, replica kit etc....each fan is worth approximately a score per visit...the maths do work
Quote: wrencat1873 "Without Sky, most clubs would be screwed and some, have become over reliant/ lazy due to the TV cash that they receive.'"
agree......it's been criminal, but what the money men at the lesser clubs need is licensing so they can spend to grow rather than spend to not go down....
Quote: rollin thunder "its laughable to compare Salford to Hull, like comparing Arsenal to Stoke city, Liverpool to Burnley. Salford have never been a big club, had a bit ov a run in the early 70's but that's it.'"
That’s not it at all. Salford have won seven major honours and only two of those were in the early ‘70s.
The Willows used to see crowds of 15-25000 back in the 1930s, and in that one decade Salford won more major trophies than Saints did in their first nine decades and just one less major honour than Hull did in their first eleven decades!

The trouble is when you say 15-25000 back in 1930s they then had nothing better to do same has other clubs now it is totally different with loads of different ways to spend their money

Preston north end were one of the biggest clubs in soccer back in the day, there not anymore or likely to be, 7 major trophies in 100 plus years, yeah massive club they should be saved at any cost to ensure there 2000 fans can keep there little club. This may seem harsh but its just the truth of it.
