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 ?

People kicking off about us charging Wigan £35 then kicking off that we haven’t got any actual money. Numb as piss stones.

And Latics have sold 1,800 so not many less than they would have done if it were £20. Just hope they pay up quickly and then the staff can get what they’re owed.

No chance, they only had 8,000 on at home last night at £25 a ticket. Even if they did bring that many, the policing and stewarding costs for 4,000 of those knobheads would be astronomical.

KA is quite rightly getting stick on the wages situation, but he’s bang on in the price charged for Latics. 

Would also add he’d have got slated if it was only £20 on Saturday and then we get charged £30 at their place.

Home support is irrelevant 

they took 3900 to pne at £24 

they would’ve been all over it 

We're going into admin sooner or later

The club has no money, KA isn't putting any in, there's no one interested in buying the club, there'll soon be more unpaid bills and ED is dead

January will be interesting if Forest Green are due something for Doidge

4000 X £20 = £80k

1800 X £35 = £63k

As mentioned above, the cost to manage 2,200 more probably erodes that margin quite a bit, so take out the fact that £35 is a ridiculous amount for the quality on offer, the logic and net result probably isn't that misplaced.

Why would he get slated on what Wigan charge? Nought to do with him?

Aye, feels like we’re a dieing dog waiting to be put down.

When do we start getting the Heathcoat millions back?

The most effective protest has already begun, folk are not going to the game and the fault lies at King Kens door.

Always

Just read about the wages not being paid Administration looks likely now KA doesn't have the money and taking away the points doesn't make much difference because we are going down anyway.

Some good away days if we go down.

Because then it would be “fucking hell Ken, no wonder we’re skint when we’re charging less than Wigan”. I think it’s a fair point though that they should have been allowed to sell the lower tier first which would have been £30 a head and therefore exactly the same as we’re being charged there.

Meanwhile warburtons are set to spunk more money on shit adverts. De niro rumoured to be next 

Never bought their bread all through the eighties ate Rathbones cardboard instead

The great Nat himself (when running the 'excutive suite' ) once sent out one of his staff to Normid to get bread for the excutive butties .They came back with a shed load of Rathbones .One of the Warburton clan got wind of this & summond the Lion to explain .He pointed out that Warburtons refused to deliver to the club so heyho you get what you get.No sandwiches were eaten by the Warburtons all the staff took them home .

I genuinely don't think anyone would say that but again it's all hypothetical 

Iles isn’t fucking about

, half the squad weren’t registered at 9am on the day of the game. He could have written that story but didn’t.

You sure about this?

It's normally noon on the day before a game.

Usual question

Who replaces Ken if he walks? (Not that it's that easy to just walk, but you get my meaning)

Looking at it purely as a business, it's utterly untouchable. Income is shit, wages are high, cost of running it is high, performance of the product is terrible.

Take away the passion, and BWFC is going under. No doubt whatsoever.

Blaming Ken is easy, but this will happen for many more reasons than him.

The facts are very simple.

We have been on borrowed time for three years.

Through astute but unspectacular management we have somehow regained and then retained our place in the championship.

Sadly it can't go on and we will have to re-group in league 1 and start properly living within our means. It won't be pretty.

Many fans don't like this reality and crowds will go sub 10K very soon.

They will blame KA and PP but in truth they have done remarkably well to keep us going at this level.

The damage was done before they both arrived at the club.

 

In all of this, the people that matter are the staff of our club so it’s certainly a good thing that they’ve been sorted. It certainly shouldn’t have been allowed to get to this stage though and definitely can’t be allowed to happen again (again).  

So

To summarise

The staff have all been paid on the day they were supposed to get paid?

That's not news.
