    The truth, you can't handle the truth

    SISU will sell if they get an offer they deem acceptable. Trying to force them to sell by cutting off income is a very dangerous tactic. The first thing that will happen is the budget will be massively cut. Then consider that the Ricoh deal ends this year. If we're getting 5K or less then it...

    Without spoiling it for anyone does anyone believe that's it for Car Share? As there's only 4 in this series I reckon they've shot 6 (or 5 and a longer special) and we'll get a final episode at Xmas. They do keep mentioning the Xmas team.

    But we dont have any other income.......

    Personally I just assume its used as a shorthand. He doesn't explain everything in detail at the best of times so he's not going to drill down on the finances in a statement like the one he made yesterday. If you look at what he said: then what is the better, more accurate, term for him to use...

    Clearly you do struggle as I can't recall expressing outrage at the price of football survey.

    But we dont have any other income.......

    Would be no different to now would it. Wasps own it and ACL operate the stadium and associated facilities. AEG would be ideal, they're the worlds largest operator of sports stadiums and the worlds second largest operator of live music and events.

    But we dont have any other income.......

    But then you would offset those costs against what we pay in rent wouldn't you? How much are other teams paying annually on maintenance. The only one I'm aware of is Pompey having to pay out £400K when the trust took over but that's a 120 year old stadium that didn't have any maintenance done...

    Just work on the basis that if his lips are moving he's talking shit.

    But we dont have any other income.......

    That's my point! Factor in the difference in attendance and that margin for Scunthorpe would equate to £360K for us based on the same 30% margin.

    But we dont have any other income.......

    Wouldn't you have to look at each agreement? Its not like ACL do the F&B themselves, they outsource it in the first place as I would imagine most clubs do. They key is what you get back in return and looking at the information on this thread we get a fraction of what Scunthorpe get even when...

    But we dont have any other income.......

    Which illustrates another issue with our situation. We are paying retail for the F&B in hospitality so struggle to make anything on it. In fact as we have to purchase for every game on the basis of hospitality being at capacity it wouldn't be at all surprising if we actually make a loss on this...

    But we dont have any other income.......

    Margin should generally run 25-35% for stadium catering. However if you also factor in that our prices are the highest in the league (according to the BBC's price of football survey) then it is reasonable to suggest the margin should be higher. But even if it isn't you'd be looking at £360K...

    But we dont have any other income.......

    So Scunthorpe generate £369,501 F&B revenues on average crowds of 3.907 and we generated £75,000 on average crowds of 12,570. If they had similar crowds to us they'd be looking at in the region of £1.2m. Am I missing something as this kind of backs up what Fisher says doesn't it? That in L1 and...
