Like I said on the other thread Martin, you can think what you want

wow, you know my name, how very clever of you, you must be amongst a group of only THE ENTIRE READERSHIP OF RLFANS

you really are a muppet of the very highest order,scuttle off back to your own forum and discuss your world class signin....oh, hang on.

Great comeback, no really.

muppets dont scuttle.........

Paying around £1/2m a year currently aren't we?

It'll be roughly about that. Attendance of ~12k is about 60k over and above the 7.5k threshold, over 13 games. Say very roughly £15 quid a ticket, including concessions and season ticket 'discount', £7.50 of that to the SMC, by 60k is £450k + £170k ground rent. Yep, Half a mill, give or take.

£629,909. From the SMC accounts for 2010

Feck me, that's a lot considering we don't make anything on non match days and get peanuts out of the catering

if we are paying that much no wonder the council didnt want to sell up and have us kicked out , out of intrest what do city pay

This is partly why I thought Kath couldn't be taking loads out of the club. Paying this amount of service charge, supposedly spending the full cap, transfer fees, and making a profit when so few other clubs were.

You have to remember that the rent includes office space/club shop, a staffed ticket office, maintenance and stewarding etc

I'm not saying its the best deal out there (the 7,500 attendance cap in particular is now a hindrance to growing the club) but i'm sure other clubs will be spending more just keeping their grounds maintained.

If you checked them all it would be roughly same, think it has been 500k+ every year
