Bluedell 5,691 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I'd also add that I'm surprised the level of renewals is that high. I can instantly think of 8 seats that won't be renewed and another 2 that haven't got round to it yet, and that's out of a fairly small pool of people. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC 150 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Hang on a minute here; if the ST money is all going to be invested in the squad, where are we going to get money to run the club and pay wages week by week? When are we going to see the next tranche of the £30 million? Surely if the season ticket money is going on the squad then someone is paying the bills and running costs............ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When are we going to see the next tranche of the £30 million? Match day income, sponsorship , hospitality ,individual tickets sales, TV money, prize money ........... Expected season ticket income has always been used to estimate acceptable squad expenditure. Should be 10-12m from season tickets so 8-9m on wages leaves 1-3m for transfers plus whatever other funds are added with the extra euro money available. Just a very difficult matter of balancing risk and reward to determine the full budgets now they know ST sales are on target. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When are we going to see the next tranche of the £30 million? You know as well as I do that if they are saying it is all going on the squad then the rest of the money comes from corporate sponsorhip, advertising and soft loans. Has the 30 million not already been "invested". I bet a large sum of it has. It still isn't enough, we need more. Personally I think we need to have even more high net worth individuals prepared to invest in us to spread the financial load. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,777 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I'm surprised that some are surprised by the ST up take!, we need the money for the club to continue to move forward!, not renewing would only delay that! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
union 0 Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 Soft loans ? there will be no equity left at this rate, plenty of dilution though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 How does this "realistic prospect of exceeding the record sales of more than 43,000 achieved this season" from the most recent statement reconcile with "CLUB Chairman Dave King has again thanked fans for the exceptional support this season that saw a record of more than 43,000 season tickets purchased. This is the maximum amount of season tickets that can be sold to supporters given the need to reserve a complete section of the stadium for away supporters." from last years statement. Is the club looking at changing the allocation/location of away fans ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Question for all you guys : My son is moving up north this summer (12 yrs old) and the wife is moving back to Scotland to be with him whilst I stay here in Bermuda by myself - don't all be getting jealous at the same time I am looking to get season tickets for them - I always liked the Govan but where would you recommend ? I'm not sure I want to try to get them tickets in the Family Stand as I prefer to watch a game side-on. Thanks 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to sit in the club deck and loved it, if you get near to the half way line up there then its a great view to watch - the stairs are a bit if a hike mind! Congrats on becoming a batchelor haha. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
