The club might have some money if the supporters actually went to the fucking games. Pretty much nail on head for me. i know of at least 10 st holders who are currently choosing not to go, due to a combination of Apathy, shit football and bad atmosphere. Season tickets are paid for but there's £100-£150 on ale, pies etc that ain't getting spent. 17.5k on Saturday my arse. Leeds had 4.5k granted, I'd hazard a guess at 10k Bolton tops... so the missing ST holders must be into 000's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Zico Posted December 17, 2018 Moderators Share Posted December 17, 2018 didn't make Wigan (3rd game missed this season), but was there v Leeds, was definitely looking sparse I'm not boycotting it or anything and my preference is to go, but these days, if something else comes up, then I resist missing the footy far less than I used to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Take Hunt Off Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Dont get the going missing metality fair enough if your on a promise or being showered in free ale but heyho shopping or watching 'come dine with me 'repeats isnt viable competition for having an angry ninety minute rant.

I was there Saturday but after 20 minutes I'd have swapped for pretty much anything. It was shite. And cold. And dull. But I'll be there next time. It is just what we do. However, I do wonder if younger fans will eventually get fed up and abandon it. The past few home games haven't exactly had much to get excited about and overall the club is not exactly a vibrant exciting place. The 80s were grim but it feels like we're back there.

It sure how much the club gets of it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Approx 10% of the profit apparently, thanks to the great deal the previous regime did. Lump sum "facility" fee up front and a small cut of profits.

Kane57 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 If popular rumour be believed, our hero has borrowed £1.5m secured against EFL's January money due to Wanderers at what has been described as 'massive' interest rates to cover November and December's wage payments to staff and players.
