Why didn't we think of this:-

Desparation

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

"The club’s comfortable, easily accessible, and notoriously noisy 25,000 plus capacity stadium, is a short dribble from Selhurst and Thornton Heath stations and provides bars, a restaurant, and typical ground fare for half time refueling"

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

That is f***ing classic.

 

[Billy the Fish]

What will the crowd be, less than 15,000 again? They can't even give them away

"The club’s comfortable, easily accessible, and notoriously noisy 25,000 plus capacity stadium, is a short dribble from Selhurst and Thornton Heath stations and provides bars, a restaurant, and typical ground fare for half time refueling"

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

When they say dribble...

 

[Albion Dan]

DESPERATE!

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

That is f***ing hilarious

Still, I guess:

"The Club's decrepit and falling down Stadium propped up by a Sainsbury's on one side with a 10,000 average attendance of window lickers is just a short jog through the rioting in Selhurst so you don't get injured, half time refreshments include beer that gives you the farts and a rat burger."

Rings the same bell.

 

[Rookie]

Hahaha

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Good spot. As said above, desperate.

 

[beorhthelm]

is that genuine? all thats going to do is cannabalise their existing POTG tickets wanting a cheaper (is it?) or better seat than normal. who other than a regular is going to be to be tempted by game thats on TV

 

[Cian]

Groupon deals are generally the last croak of a dying firm, desperate for a small amount of cashflow.

They're all too busy shopping in Sainsburys to go to the match

 

[Albion Dan]

Seriously, Palace must be heading toward financial problems again on the crowds that that they are getting.

I know they have a few kids on low money but must have an average wage of about £9k pw, considering that they paid Murray more than that and have quite a few players left from the Jordan days.

If just 14 of their players are earning that on average then thats £6.5m a year. Average crowd of 13k paying £20 avg x 24 games = £6.24m over 24 league games.

That means just the TV money, sponsorship and on the day revenue keeping their heads above water and thats not even considering all the other business overheads and non playing staff costs. best starting selling those youngsters!!!!

Compare this to the Amex, 20k average paying customers x lets say £22 comes to a very tasty sum of £10.5m per year gate money alone.

 

[fly high]

Er!!! Which South London rivals are they actually soaring high above? Dulwich Hamlets maybe!!!

 

[Common as Mook]

Tin. Pot.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

They rent their training grounds as well at high cost.

Our matchday revenue is about 5m p/a at the moment I reckon.

When they say dribble...

Credit to them for being aware of where their support comes from - although they could also have pointed out how many windows were on the way too.

 

[Albion Dan]

Er!!! Which South London rivals are they actually soaring high above? Dulwich Hamlets maybe!!!

I guess they mean Charlton, which is only going to last another season, who are struggling along with gates of 16.5k in Div 1

.......Our matchday revenue is about 5m p/a at the moment I reckon.

do you mean profit? I would have thought it was at least £15-20M in revenue as we must be taking almost £1M per game.
