Breaking News Support The Team Not The Regime! New update 24/11

[MisterStubbs]

And yet, there has been nothing but silence from Ron for months all whilst our club continues to crumble under his ****ing stewardship. Enough was enough a long time ago, now the blokes just taking the ****ing **** out of us.

 

[WestyReturns]

The search for external investment is going well!

Best the 'Trust' say Ron's naughty man then loan him more money to make disappear in a magic hat.

 

[SeldomSeenShrimper]

There is a real dark cloud hanging over the club atm, not enjoyed following the club lately.

I'm usually quite pessimistic ... but I'm generally not too far off

 

[hlane17]

If the protest moratorium doesn't end now then I don't know when it will.

I'm very close to walking away from this toxic **** mess for good and never looking back.

****ing joke club we are, all the fans, players and staff are being taken for total mugs.

Roll on the phoenix club if nobody wants to do something about Ron in the meantime. No more loaning money, no more fan fundraisers, his position is untenable.

RM out or bust.

 

[Holy Joe]

I bet they'll be a mass exodus of them in the transfer window...and you couldn't blame them

NL doesn't have a transfer window

The football part of the football club is now just an inconvenience to Ron. This is ****ing tragic.

 

[Supershrimper]

13 home games league between now and the end of the season which has somehow got to generate sufficient match day income to pay for players, backroom staff, non-playing staff, bills and utilities, HMRC obligations.

You would think that any sponsors will have paid for this year already or we may be lucky and have a monthly income from there a pay over the season agreement might be in place whereby sponsors can spreads the cost of the payment over the playing season rather than pay it all up front at once.

Going to need to shift a fair few burgers etc to even try to generate the sales required. Bumper crowd on Boxing Day might help to alleviate the coffers, but they won't exactly be creaking with the amount of money stashed within them.

just a mass exodus, then

FL does though. And you would imagine that if Ron doesn’t sort this out, Lopata, Kensdale, Hobson, Miley etc. will be jumping at the chance to join one of their many admirers in January.

But the income from the game receipts is a pittance to how much we need each month. Of course it helps, but most of it is season ticket money that has already been received and probably spent.

 

[shrimperjon]

lets hope tickets sales are good for the FA Trophy then. Ive seen people saying they wont go, tin pot trophy etc. For me its another first team game that needs our support. Staying home wont help the financials. Its like the youth cup games. Great to have them at home but we had 181 in attendance at the last game. Its costing the club more money to put the games on than they are getting through the gate. I get peoples frustrations but staying away isnt going to help. I went on line to book 5 tickets last night and hardly any had been sold. Its still a first team fixture and a chance to get to Wembley etc

And who is going to stup up the money for this mass exodus .Just rember all these players are under contract .So one moneys have to change hands and two the club can ask what they want for these players you say will be leacving .

Season ticket money is money in advance which helps the club through the non-playing season but its the walk ins and ad-hoc ticket purchases that helps the club make the money. If there was 3,000 adult season tickets all purchasing at the full amount then the most we would have from season tickets is £885,000. However, how many are concessions at £185 and then there is the Young person (17-22) and Junior (9-16) at £110 and £65 each for the season. The true amount made from season tickets i would imagine is closer to £500k

I paid £295 for my season ticket to watch 23 games of football. Thats £12.83 for each game. Someone turning up on the day will pay £20 upwards assuming adult ticket?

I'm under no illusions that my paltry contribution of a season ticket doesn't pay any of the first team or reserve teams weekly wage. This is why i try and top up my contribution with the purchase of food from the club kiosks, a beer or two before the game as well. Only an extra £5-£10 or so but it feels like i've made more of a contribution then as well.

Problem is, if players aren't being paid can they just leave on a free due to breach of contract?

 

[mattytheshrimper]

This is not unexpected, I've actually been waiting for it but none the less, it's literally gutting. Just to the point where I'm not even angry, I'm just sad.

 

[Shrimper]

But he loves the ****ing club?

Sure he loves the club all the time he's in control and waiting for a pot of gold from FF to come in.After that.....?

No first team players (nor any staff) have been paid for November as of this afternoon Tommy. As tweeted by CP.
