Quote: The_Mighty_F90 "Not enough. That is why we are in the position we are in.
Hull FC could be in a similar position if the 14,500 don't turn up.
You would need a fan base of around 13,600 and a derby gate of 19,000.
A tough ask in the current climate.'"
Not really, that is just based on league game revenues.
It doesnt include any play off revenue, cup game revenue and prize money which over the next few years based on the squad being built and kicking on again from improvement this year isnt out of the question.
An average of 13000 with some of the above on a regular basis will be enough and AP knows.
Actually FC will be just fine if they get it right on the pitch - and it seems they are....
That was NH plan, get a winning side and then get 10000 through the gate every game and the model then worked. Unfortunately if failed on both fronts.
I won't deny that if we fail on the pitch and we dont get to 13000/14000 we might be in the same boat, but early signs suggest that isnt goingto be the case.
But hey, let's roll with it and enjoy the ride, you did for 5 years.
