Because the East stand isn’t open yet so it’s not making money yet, whilst the stand it replaced is also gone. The main money earner simply isn’t there.
It’s not just the East stand, or the general disturbance with the ground renovations but I’d say they have tipped us over the edge this season. No other club is currently struggling with such disruption.
I can give you an even better example. The deal with Wakefield AFC is worth one extra quality player a season. Problem is that deal kicked in this September not now. It has no impact on this years budget.'"
What your saying makes sense and I'm asking these as genuine questions and not because I'm being negative.
But I would have thought those in the East stand normally are just relocated in the rest of the stadium? So what's the actual here and now loss so to speak?
Future potential earnings I get and the AFC is a good example.
