8) The Alan Higgs swimming-pool development. How would this affect the Academy?
CA looking to extend the lease at the Alan Higgs Centre beyond June 2017, but is also looking elsewhere. The club is very concerned about this. Coventry Sports Foundation will likely favour Wasps over the club’s academy.
The Family Zone is included in sponsorship package proposals. There is talk of a fan zone in the Jaguar Hall.
The playing budget, which includes player salaries, appearances and bonuses, loan players where applicable, hotel expenses etc, but which excludes management and coaching staff wages and expenses, will remain at roughly the same levels for 2016/17. The playing budget is less than, for instance, Sheffield United, Millwall and Wigan – around or in excess of £4Mio but more than, for instance, Burton, Walsall and Gillingham – all around £1.5Mio.
Overall, we work on 58 projects with 17,336 participants all under the brand of CCFC and ensure the club is seen in a good light.

That's a lot of stuff in the community, should get more exposure!
Ticket booking fee will be £1, so not bad!
According to Anderson, the club is thriving.Anderson was in the phone ind, Friday night (around 25 mins in), only caught thr last couple of minutes but he mentioned that they have told highs they want to stay long term, he was also very non committal about the stadium situation.

So ticket prices increased but playing budget remains the same
In other words, the increase in attendance (volume) - while great for filling the stands and creating a wonderful atmosphere - has not completely made up for the drop in price, as had been hoped for, and we have missed important financial targets. This has made it more difficult to compete financially in the league than anticipated. While the drop in prices was popular - maybe too popular - we simply can't sustain it in light of the fact that 45% of our revenues come from ticket sales and if we wish to field a competitive team.
What about player sales? where is that money going?
He should of expanded what he meant on financial targets too, who's targets are they?

A couple of interesting points:
Interesting how it is thought Wasps are going to be to do with the 50m pool is it a comment on the pool or the use of the site in general?
Good news!
Interesting we were higher than those 3. would have to ask who got better value for money wouldn't you. For example in 2015 our total wages were 5.2m Walsall's was 3.1m CCFC total number of employees 414 (105 players & management) Walsall 131 (81 players & management)
per ticket - do we know what match day tickets are going to beOverall, we work on 58 projects with 17,336 participants all under the brand of CCFC and ensure the club is seen in a good light.

Very thorough minutes because of the SBT, SBITC & safety officer briefings but as always not much tangible news on the important things and still some contradictions.
I know that some of the bigger PL clubs have swimming pools for general fitness conditioning etc, so assume Wasps will take the same approach. It's commonly used by players as low-impact fitness training when they're coming back from long-term injuries.

how the hell do we end up with over 400 employees? Does this include stewards? Are there any other matchday employees? What's the playing staff around 40/50 including the academy? How do we end up employing nearly 300 people more than Walsall?
Crowds went up 35% assuming the same sales mix then that should mean the average ticket price could drop 25% and still get the same ticket income because of the increase in attendances. Roughly takes it down from £8 per head per match to £6. How much did ST and match ticket prices drop?

For that amount of difference I reckon something like stewards. Could other clubs put that somewhere apart from staff costs? Maybe if they don't employ them directly?
Sounds about right. Use taxpayer money to build a pool for wasps.
It is hard nosed exploitation of the fan base made harsher because of the discounting of tickets 2015/16. The club of course does need the money to compete. But then Walsall ended up 3rd with apparently £1m less wage budget. Such is football and football finance :thinking about:
Just like taxpayer's money was spend on building the Ricoh when the club needed a lender of last resort, only for Sisu to renege unilaterally and shamefully when they had what they wanted and paying the council back no longer suited them?
What drivel. SISU / CCFC had a rental agreement. The club itself didn't lend any money from the council. The council took on the stadium project as their own venture, taking the freehold of the land and issuing a 50 year lease to the company that became ACL. The council had a 50/50 share in ACL with CCFC. Then CCFC's directors at the time (not SISU) sold their share in the company to the Higgs Charity. CCFC subsequently agreed to rent the stadium at circa £1.3m per annum.
If it was 'paying the council back' for their just under £10m investment, they had done that by 2013.
Hopefully it will help tm, will soon find out I guess!didn't say there was anything wrong with being hard nosed in business. Ask Man Utd if they worry about exploiting their fan base. If that means that the finances work properly then so be it. But exploiting the resource is what is going on, and it is an easy one to pick on
Not sure where we will be in terms of cheapest or not. To a degree I don't really care.
I do care that if the price has gone up significantly that the extra money is spent well and that if the owners/directors say the club is self sustaining and that's the only way, that they actually stick to the budgets, stay at least cash flow neutral, have control and a plan - then communicate it properly to their most important resource or asset, the fans. So far they still have a long way to go before convincing me of that

They will give you the line that they fucked up the budget this year so the increase in ticket revenue will make up for the shortfall. Bullshit if you ask me.So ticket prices increased but playing budget remains the same
Check your own drivel. If the council hadn't taken the project over, where would the club be playing? £10m - try £30m. It never suited the club to pay the rent once the stadium was built - the way the lease was ripped up as the club continued to trade was unforgivable.
I'll try the figures from the council's own document which shows a net investment of £10m:£10m try £30m
If the council hadn't taken the project over, where would the club be playing?
