Trust the trust.

Such disregard for the people who saved the club and got us to where we are now.

Are we still at this stage then?


If we get the players to play for nothing and sell out the stadium completely every week we still wouldn’t break even?


The obvious caveat is that we also need an FA Cup run, no one stealing from the lounges and additional unbudgeted play off income

I’m sure on the we are sailing it said we were on course to break even?…. I wonder if that’s going be in the 23/24 accounts

That always makes me laugh. It’s said every year but then when next years accounts come it’ll the year afters that will be interesting.

Anyone who said that was misguided at best.

No, just can’t see it. Example: Crowds up 10%, wages down 10% will earn us all of say £550k, which hardly dents a loss of £2.1M. And no £265k in transfer fees this time around.

I suspect an announcement of 24/25 season ticket prices is ready to go as soon as promotion is confirmed with not insignificant price rises.

Anybody know average ticket prices in League 2?

Well it is true to some extent. We will start to see the effects of the KIrk’s business acumen that many are pinning their hopes on

I doubt we still budget for crowds of 4k, but given the good cup run, the increased gates, and maybe a few extra quid from the playoff games/final, I'm surprised the debts were still so high..

Because we need the players to play for nothing and sell the stadium to capacity to get close to break even


Just like with Allen

Well paying off half the squad that Rowe assembled to have one that could do the job wont have helped for starters....

This year doesn’t even include the payoffs given to Asante and Rowe. Chris knows what these two were on. Rowe really did pack the squad full of duds and crocks.

Sooner we are back in the EFL producing young players for sale such as Cooper and Clucas at huge profits the better.

Looking at half a dozen clubs roughly our geographical location it looks like between £22 and £25 for advanced mayday tickets. I can see ours being similar. Possibly the differential between the areas of the ground closing a little. Still that would be a hefty price increase. Maybe they’ll introduce game categorisation.
