Quote ="isaac1"We need to look at with pragmatism. Each year BCFC sell their season tickets to a deadline, then the BOd meet with the manager to discuss player budget wne costs have been taken into account. The publicity is basically, you want a squad with a chance of doing well, so show us your money. Thats how BCFC have managed to put prices up by 50% this year and still sell 8000 tickets.
if we start afresh as a newco, having been thru admin, we need to learn to cut our cloth accordingly. If that means losing some people along the way, so be it. We've bounced back before and we will again.
And would we swap the trophies between 97-05 for being more stable now? almost certainly not. Just like as a City fan, I would not swap our two years in the prem for the last 10 years as a lower end, but financially stable championship club!'"
the only problem with that , is our season tickets are sold in oct/nov time whereas most clubs have done there shopping in july and august when the anti tamper deadline ends. so unless they were a) sold early or b) sold with the fans made aware the money raised would be affective from the 2nd season following, if you know what i mean, the ticket sales wouldnt reflect that years budget . Another problem is the player pool, 500 professional footballers were released into the pool this year at the end of their contracts, if you consider the make up of rugby league and the lack of under contract signings then even if you say 5 out of contract players per club then we'd still only have 55 players to chose from of whom maybe ten to fifteen would be any good
