The club just hires the the ground out to an events company and switch the lights on. Pretty sure the events company will sort the food stalls too? The smaller events my pal runs sort everything out bar the food and drink, which is then sub-contracted to heathcotes or similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly people on here amaze me. one minute kicking off people don't get paid then next saying a revenue stream isnt worth it. Aye but £40k, is it worth fucking the pitch up?

Aye, we did a Derby and Villa and sold the ground to the owner to try and offset FFP, which in turn pissed off Steve Gibson which is hilarious. Given his history and Boros. Not to mention the failure payments they got, and when they run out, he cries. But, yeah, pretty much we are gonna have to sell some players or we will end up in the same situation in a year or 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a couple of concerts, a community BBQ, an agricultural show, a stunt motor bike display, a car boot sale, a monster trucks event and a gymkhana would help. It's fairly clear that the new potential owners haven't got money to throw around so presumably part of "the plan" is to work every asset to death so there's little point in folk complaining about the potential condition of the pitch - or the team for that matter - when liquidation is the alternative. Maybe they've been to too many Polo matches and "the plan" is to invite the fans on to the pitch at half time to stomp the divots? It ain't gonna be pretty whatever happens.

I guess, if £40k an event washes its face Must be some variable costs to consider Then you still have to land 6-8 concerts a summer Let’s face it, Ken has made himself out to be some sort of deal broker, bad mouthing all the deals he inherited, yet £40k for the Rod Stewart concert seems very underwhelming Edited July 12, 2019 by birch-chorley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
