    December Stadium Deadline

    All fair points CCFC Average last season for Wasps was 19000 and until we know different then I think you have to assume similar this coming season especially if the expected RWC boost happens. There are 15 home games listed without including the LV cup fixtures. That puts attendances at very...

    December Stadium Deadline

    I understand where you are coming from sbw but then you need to factor in the level of secondary spend going on. Empty seats give you no income but get two taken by a dad and his lad and there is a good chance they will spend £6, £7 or more at the kiosk. Its a well tried tactic and something is...

    December Stadium Deadline

    I think waiting for the Wasps bubble to burst because of falling attendances to get ownership is a forlorn hope. I would not be surprised to see them fall away after this coming season to some degree. But they are going to need to fall a long way to match the CCFC hoped for attendance average...

    December Stadium Deadline

    I think until SISU/CCFC set out the business case properly then we will continue to have these arguments/discussions that go round and round with no real answer Yes income is important but not important enough to stop it being sold off to third parties. Will that continue in any new stadium...

    You would think that FIFA would take a good look at that tackle but apparently not planning on taking further action

    Just sums up what is wrong with English football

    I assume that's just the transfer window just gone ? Not only does it highlight the madness of transfer fees in the Championship (and above) but it also highlights the gulf in financial resource that any L1 team has to bridge when getting promoted. It can not be sustainable can it ? and yet...

    Suggest you contact the following member of the SCG who apparently has the school contact duties for the club PAT ABEL launched Tickets for Schools. Over the last five years, 150 schools, 35 junior clubs and 23,000 children have taken part in the scheme which enables families to taste the...

    Was not confident before the game but we controlled most of the match without being in top form. I think the difference between this season and last under Pressley is that Mowbray understands what he is doing, how to achieve it and how to change things if necessary...... that in turns feeds in...

    city miss out - what a load of rubbish

    Wasn't complicated at all ..... we couldn't afford to do a deal with him/Leeds. Doubt we were ever that close to a deal. We enquired found it was too expensive , moved on I would imagine given our budget and funds available that there have been a number of less public occasions where we...

    Is the Premier League Out of reach

    Also found this http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/jun/02/parachute-payments-clubs-relegated-premier-league So a premiership team relegated could end up with £24m parachute payment and still create £15m in losses in the year it seems in their attempt to get back in to the promised land...

    Is the Premier League Out of reach

    found this http://www.football-league.co.uk/news/article/2014/20141106-championship-financial-fair-play-rules-rg-2066799.aspx At an EGM at Derby County, Championship clubs have agreed a new set of ‘Profitability and Sustainability’ Regulations that will bring the division’s approach to...

    Is the Premier League Out of reach

    it still talks about maximum permitted losses though doesn't it ....... losses mean turnover is not enough to cover costs, that extra must be found from owners or debt to finance operations not checked but what are the new rules that are coming in next season Next season will see the...

    Is the Premier League Out of reach

    Personally I think without someone willing to put in extra money, probably £10m pa (that they are prepared to lose) over several seasons I do not see how CCFC competes at the top of the Championship with or without a new ground. The argument seems to be owning their own ground will make the...

    Millwall (Away) Match Thread

    Well done CCFC & TM Had to pinch myself on Saturday when I got the half time score. Sounded a great performance by the team & the twelfth man (fans) Makes a change to be looking down at the rest rather than looking up, even if it is early days or short lived. There seems to be hope at last...

    We can't afford to be a Championship club?

    I think it might be an idea to ask the club what the additional "match day" costs they actually pay to ACL/Wasps are. Perhaps a question at the next SCG meeting? Or even do they pay any? What I would expect if they do pay is it would be made up of the things like following - cost of staff...

    We can't afford to be a Championship club?

    all companies must have share capital (unless limited by guarantee) it is the item that denotes ownership and yes is in effect money put in to the company if the company issues those shares. A sale between two shareholders in the company would not change the figure on the company balance sheet
