Quote: Alan "The LSV costs have to have gone down, given that we pay a set percentage of the gate money, despite what the owner said about costs being higher when we were in the Championship last season. Say 10% of a 6000 crowd in SL, had to be higher than 10% of a 3000 crowd in the Championship. However, he may have been referring to stewarding costs or the cost of training facilities, office space etc. - I don't know about them.'"
It was stated that an average of 5,500 was required to break even in SL. I would assume that was taking into account opening up all stands.
If those costs continued back into Championship,then the cost would be more given a 2,500 shortfall.
We have seen that South stand opened for no apparent reason. Thats just bad management, not even down to segregation. Thats costly decisions, because it wont be cheap to open that up.
