Yes exactly, but in the form of a money making business where you need a stadium, to rent a stadium and never have an option to buy a stake in order to maintain profit, your best bet is to move elsewhere

The most important thing for the business is to make money.

11k ticket sales will make far more money than 3k ticket sales + 500 pie sales.

It doesn't matter where the money comes from as long as its coming into the club.

A 6 year old could work this one out.

You're completely right, but you consider £1.2m immediately deducted off the profit of those 11,000 tickets, compared with say £200k on 4000-5000 sales at Birmingham, and suddenly the pendulum has swung

Your best bet is to move away from your customers?

You sure about that? :thinking about::thinking about:

Brandon or ryton, that's hardly moving away from your customers, it's a temporary thing until the new ground is built, like Rotherham did

Temporary?

3 years minimum. Possibly a lot longer.

Anything but a smart move any rational person would surely say.

Yeah we don't want it, but the council arent willing to negotiate a deal to allow us to feasibly play at the Ricoh, so what other choice do we have but to look elsewhere?

No, the "proposed" deal was £400k, plus a £24m bond. The actual current rent is £1-£1.2m

If, and that's a big if, we were to build a new stadium it would take 5 years minimum. This is a total wind up.

They probably think SISU is a Chinese company. They seem to have got a general feeling for Tim Fisher being useless correct though.

So, lets get this straight; do we all believe that the, "new ground", is Brandon? If that is the case, what happens to the Bees? Do they still ride there as well? Will there be a track outside the playing field? How much will it cost to upgrade the stands?..........How many of us consider this to be a serious plan?

No it doesn't . A five year old could work it out.
Lets enlighten you.
23 games a season at home (Not going to include cup games)
Say on average £20 a ticket. So that works out on an 11k gate at £5 million roughly
Deduct 1.2mill and even 250k match day costs and it leaves lets say 3.5million

Now 5k gate at 20 a ticket x 23 equals 2.3million plus 100k profit for pies etc we are still over a million short.And then take the rent money off.

Yes smart arse I know what the current rent is, you turned down £400k pa. The £24m bond is a separate issue.

Its down to Tim Fisher to find somewhere suitable for the fans. The how's and whys are down to him to sort out.

Just got back -- waste of time going. It's quite obvious SISU don't give a monkey's bum about what we supporters want. They are going to carry on regardless. I fear the worst.. SISU will be the preferred bidder and carry on regardless.

Thought you may feel that way.

Still you did what you thought was right and timmie knows 80% of the fans will not be following him

Nobody with an ounce of Planning experience thinks that this is the least bit credible.
Wouldn't get past the preliminary stage.

So why the fuck did you just try correcting me by saying that the current rent is £400k?
And no, I'm not a SISU employee, I didn't turn down a deal, smart arse

I'm a supporter. I travel to as many away games as I can afford on a mediocre wage, and go to as many home games as I practically can, all financial wise. Sorry that I'm not 70 years old and can remember when we were in the premier league, I'm 20, and because I've not been a season ticket holder for 30 years, does not make me any less of a fan than you or anyone else
