To be honest I thought 40k was a bit shit, but looking on web London O2 charge 80k - so I suppose - taking into account North/South divide, 40k not far off the mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may not be £1million but its money in we need. going forward we need additional revenue streams and this is a good start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not profit though, there will be some additional costs of course, energy, pitch repairs, insurance etc I get how it could be worthwhile if we rented it out 10 or 20 times a year but I imagine the odd event here and there will barely wash its Face Our council tax is through the roof based on rateable value as we hire out for concerts etc - I’m not sure if we would be better off knocking all the events on the head and going to the council / government with a change of use argument to reduce our business rates right down Hard to tell without seeing the books but it certainly doesn’t look like the stadium can generate enough additional income to pay for itself or the current situation wouldn’t be as bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Zico Posted July 12, 2019 Moderators Share Posted July 12, 2019 40k in any event is not to be sniffed at given our predicament though I think it was Smiley who heard that the day after the event management paid the deposit, KA whacked in an invoice for the same amount (presumably for consultancy) not that I'd spread such a rumour like, you'd have to ask @Smiley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrelli Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Why would O'Sullivan pay £25 M to essentially get a loss making hotel and a deeply in debt L1 club ? I think the administrators have wisely given that one a swerve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwfcfan5 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 This was Bassini who pre-admin said he had 30M ready to go. Now says he needs to borrow 25M from Sullivan. And that he has maybe "7M" of his own money ready. Absolutely utter tripe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a deposit was paid it would show in last years accounts so arguing about the £40k is pointless because it’s not known what the total cost was.

Okocha10 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 David Sullivan is another scumbag he wanted to own the stadium then loan it back to the club, we're never going to get rid off Bassini are we, why can't he fuck off & go buy Bury or something instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same principle applies though. It would seem reasonable to assume that some sort of deposit or stage payment was paid when the contract was agreed.
