Yes because that's really going to last isn't it.

Their early good crowds will have been boosted by:

- Novelty
- Freebies/promotions/discounts etc
- Good away support from you guys
- Good away support from Leeds

It'll all wear off in good time.

Does that explain the fall in your crowds?

Presumably



Neither us, Leeds, nor Crusaders have been there yet.

So we will be losing £1.8 million quid this year will we?

Don't make things up

Hudgill "we need 10,000 to break even"

8,000 crowds, a shortfall of 2,000. Average price £18,

2,000 x 18 = £36,000

So we play at home every week for 52 weeks then do we?

Is your stadium busy 52 weeks a year?

could have car boot sales for 30 odd weeks

Philb is quite right your calculations are way off HKC.

Times the £36k by 13 home games, it comes to £468,000 which is what they have lost each year for the last 2

So thats not losing 35K a week is it

Anyway, fantastic support from your lot. Both home and away

Nothing we didn't know already well except at CP on derby day

Sorry misread the various quotes and attributed you with the wrong one.

To be fair you were right anyway - the figures are all wrong.

You're right. The loss is only almost half a million per year further increasing the clubs debt!

Reckon we'll get a tidy sum for Cookie Lad though?

You wont get a penny, in fact you will be paying him to play for another club.

Yeah cos wakey have pots of cash following their recent publicised financial issues

Oh well, positive thinking and all that.

About as far from getting a fee isnt it? Giving someone away free and paying half his wages.

We won't be paying anywhere near half his wages

Wont be going at the minute according to what i hear. I've heard though that you'd be paying approximately 30% of his current wage. (which is still a huge amount for Rovers to cover)

This seems to have wandered way off topic and become a Rovers thread, so...
