Lostock Whites Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) Kenny has come out with another one of his columns. Again he’s asking for 20k crowds. This time, he says it can help add 3 million to our budget, for the transfer window. A bit bonkers isn’t it ? http://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/wanderers/15701428.Ken_Anderson_asks_for_fans__39__help_to_add___3million_to_Wanderers__39__January_spending/ Edited January 7, 2019 by Horwich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Carlos Posted December 5, 2017 Moderators Share Posted December 5, 2017 3,000,000 % 13 games = £230,000 230,000 % 5,000 people = £46 I guess that's ambitious but it takes into account a certain percentage going corporate and increased spending on parking/merch etc. Please inform us what exactly you think is bonkers about that?

bwfcfan5 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Business needs to increase sales to be able to re-invest in better products....how is that bonkers? Fact is the town of Bolton does not support its football club very well. Ken has a point. 20K plus on for a league one promotion decider. Go up and back to 13K fans.

Moderators Casino Posted December 5, 2017 Moderators Share Posted December 5, 2017 its interesting that we all agreed we should only spend what we have got KA explains what that means and hes bonkers??? all id take issue with is his expectation (in fact, he probably doesn't expect it) that we will get 20k through the gates for lower division 2 football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escobarp Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Vela will be off if it benefits the wider team and only then in my opinion. By that I mean we get a chunk of cash which is the reinvested into the squad thus increasing our chance of survival. We do that and then the extra tv money etc for next season will again assist to keep our losses lower than in a long time and a championship club is going to be more attractive to any investors than league one. Whilst this is all going on the club is looking at all ways to increase revenue to make our operating model more sustainable It’s absolutely bonkers.

tomski Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 until we spend less than comes in, thats where we are at its not difficult I'd say getting 23k a week is quite difficult. Especially when you've done nothing to help the numbers and just started moaning about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomski Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 They've not let us down in a window yet.A Fair comment. I'd say the clough fee and sale was the only let down. I think it's a lot harder to pull a team of free transfers in this league than league 1 but certainly not impossible. Let's hope they pull it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Zico Posted December 5, 2017 Moderators Share Posted December 5, 2017 it doesn't add up, he's saying we'll get 3M to spend in Jan if we get good crowds for the rest of the season he won't spend the money before he's got it, so how does he spend 3M in Jan if he's on about getting good crowds in Feb-May to fund it unless he's been misquoted, or he's on about Jan 2019, but there's no way he's spending in the hope it means 5-7k fans return - that would be bonkers he's lining up the excuses for a sale in Jan no doubt about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radcliffe white Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Love ken for his work and the poor guy has his hands tied He owns a club what’s losing money and he can’t continue to fund himself His team probably thought after the embargo situation a buyer would come forward especially with the turn around in results But it hasn’t so sale of best players will happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big E Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I'd say getting 23k a week is quite difficult. Especially when you've done nothing to help the numbers and just started moaning about it. we signed ALF and Ameobi to please fans. he is trying like. we are not a 23k club but unless people accept this and stop believing we should be in the Prem etc by right what is he supposed to do. Hes not gonna win fans by coming out with the truth that we are an average small club with a core 13k support which goes up on big occasssions.

Moderators Casino Posted December 5, 2017 Moderators Share Posted December 5, 2017 turned a club heading downwards to one that is (tentatively) looking up the next development here, once hes failed to get the so called fans (cunts as mounts delicately put it) to put as much effort into our success as he is, will be to increase the price of our tickets and us mugs will pay it until things get better and the cunts come back seen it all before, more than once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radcliffe white Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 chesterfield was the highest in years at 23400 2nd in league and £5 How possibly are we going to get anywhere near 20k we ain’t, not even if ken picked and dropped every fucker off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwfcfan5 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 What have they done to get bums on seats other than spit the dummy out half a season too late Got us promoted against all the odds. Got us out of a transfer embargo. Stabilised the club. Made a dent in the losses. Apart from that...nothing at all..... If people in Bolton want a successful team they need to back them in numbers...especially as we are "living in our means". Thats what everyone wanted. So time for everyone to get down the stadium and support instead of being moaning, whinging, stay at home armchair fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomski Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) Played a major role in getting us into a higher leagueCorrect and we got a few more bums on seats off the back of this! Our crowds hold up well. Been done to death this but the folk that support us aren't the problem. Edited December 5, 2017 by tomski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
