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 ?

Nothing to do with ken or us but some might find interesting

Ken's latest statement says nearly 100 half season tickets have been sold, the funds from which which will be used in the transfer window.

£15,000 warchest!

£15,000 warchest!

Indeed. Might get us a £3k/week loan signing for the rest of the season. Better than nothing I suppose.

Nearly 100. That's piss poor. I would have thought some of the 23k he keeps papping on about would have wanted to get involved now we are getting the odd result.

????????

Got to admire Ken though keeps plugging away regardless .

Burnley had 19k on yesterday and are 7th and establishing themselves in the premier league

 

I’m sure they will have had higher this season, probably around the figure Ken is thinking of at times but they’ve not just been promoted from league one and spent most of the season in the bottom three

Ground doesn't hold 23 thou

Imagine us in the Prem, if we didn’t get just under 29k week in week out.

He’d be livid!

 

I like his ambition though aha

Establishing themselves in the Premier League means balls all. We were once an established PL side.

Change of manager also changes the whole set up. Dyche was being touted not long ago for the Everton job. The press aren't usually that far away from the truth. It wouldn't surprise me if they ended up with a new manager later on in the season and then we'll see how established they were.

Only a few hundred short, so it was still under capacity

 

My point is that there are teams in more fortunate positions than us that don’t get the type of attendances being sought

 

I’m also not knocking KA for wanting higher figures but just think a bit of realism is needed

Course it does, if you are establishing yourselves it means things are going well

 

Last time I checked Dyche is still manager so it doesn’t alter the here and now

it was, but was that not due to watford not selling out?

 

 

either way, with a 30k stadium, burnley would be averaging a few thou more - more away fans and more home fans on the day united come to town

Ken asking for a big crowd against Burton firstly they will bring next too fuck all on what is the worst weekend for crowds in the whole football calender a crowd over 15k would be a suprise. Secondly the upper tiers against huddersfield are closed while I agree with the North and south stand shutting are we not missing out on corporate money by shutting the east and west stand upper tiers?

Do you think the corporates will fill a tier?

There'll be thousands of empty seats in the open tiers.

This could easily be our lowest crowd of the season, we'll do well to get over 12K through the turnstyles for this

They wont fill the tiers but surely a good corporate deal say £40 in the Lion of Vienna would get a couple of hundred in offer the deal to Huddersfield as well. 200 at £40 is 8 grand.

£8,000?

How much profit do you think they'll make from £8,000?

After hiring additional staff and security and the extra food etc...

previous times upper tier has been shut LOV seats have still been in use

 

im sure if theres a butty to be made, ken will have it in hand

The league's fixture planning isn't helping us this year. Home games on both pre Christmas Saturdays that traditionally attract the lowest crowds of the season then 2 aways over the holiday period.

Yes, Hull at home on new years day is not much consolation.

Still we will be gripped by FA Cup fever on 6th Jan.

They are charging £80 for the Burton match in Hall of Fame suite

The trouble with these offers is people think it’s common to be discounted. It then has to be even cheaper
