einstien said insanity is when a person does the same thing over and over again but expects a different result: |
|
| At the beginning of the season when we offered decent money for Lui it was turned down flat with them saying they are in a good place financially most clubs would struggle without a benefactor so when koucash left it was only going one way

I don’t - it’s a sad day when any team goes under - that by the way is more a dig at the fake than at you.

If you wanted a dig at the fake, why didn't you? instead of using my post to do so.

Black Backgrounds/Zoot.gif Freedom for supporters of the government, only for members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. freedom is always and exclusively for one who thinks differently.

| If Salford did drop out of SL, where would they play as the A.J. Bell is already unsuitable for them? Getting to a ground where they have access to more revenue streams is a good idea - North Wales Crusaders are better off playing in front of 300 people at the Queensway athletic stadium where the rental's lower and they get to keep all the bar and catering receipts than they were playing in front of 1k at the Racecourse - but is such a stadium available in a suitable area? There's an argument here for ditching Salford for Manchester Rangers!

| Quote: Call Me God "10,000 tickets a game at £20 a pop x 11 games is £2,200,000...add the SKY money and you have a £4,000,000 turn over, which I believe Hudgel at HKR said was the break even figure. The £20 a ticket is an average of Season tickets and more expensive walk ups.......Leeds, Wigan, Saints, Hull FC and Wire are the successful clubs by this measure with these 5 occupying the top 6 spots on a regular basis.......HKR, Castleford and Catalans aren't far away, but the other 4 clubs are nowhere near where they need to be and as such they are propped up by a minimum investment of £1,000,000 from benefactors......we're about to see what happens when a benefactor walks away as I suspect Salford are destined for the Championship or worse.....without Beaumont, Hughes, Davy, O'Connor, Argyle, Carter, Marwan et al, these "smaller clubs" wouldn't exist as a viable professional entity.....that's the flawed model.......it's fine so long as they continue, but when Hughes wavered at the end of 2013 he essentially condemned London to relegation.....what will happen to Huddersfield if Davy stopped bankrolling them?'"
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 ??
Without Sky, most clubs would be screwed and some, have become over reliant/ lazy due to the TV cash that they receive.

Corporate tickets, Kids tickets, season tickets, beer, food, replica kit etc....each fan is worth approximately a score per visit...the maths do work

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....

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.
