Even though every game sells out, it's a shame that there isn't a full attendance at every game. Shame to think of those unusued tickets sitting in a plastic wallet somewhere.

95 more of them and the stadium is paid off, well you know what I mean!
Gutted to be missing the Liverpool and Leeds games due to holiday, but my seat has been filled for both.

Was it Southampton bender that suggested we will average no more than 12,000?

Does anyone know how many you need to get through your gates to break even? I know ours is currently circa 16,000 through the turnstiles which means we are making a nice profit each week, but we do make a lot of money away from matchdays.
Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!
Primary data is fact
Neither do we.

No idea. The original suggestion was 12,000, but that was before the price and funding method of the stadium altered.
I suppose we will have a better idea once accounts are released. However, there are going to be expensive start up costs and I don't expect us to spend £4m+ on players every season.
Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!

Profit? Making money? The Saints last set of published accounts (2009/10) show a loss of £7M+.

Yes, this is taking into account the money spent on transfers, re-developing the training ground and maintanence/redesign to the interior of the stadium concourse. A lot of money spent. This years accounts will be a loss I suspect, but not as bad as £7million, next year we will make profit.

We also have someone in charge who knows what he's doing with money.
TV it is then.
That in itself is quite amazing too!

These figures/accounts relate only to Southampton Football Club which, like BHA, is a subsidary of a holding company - in SFC's case DMWSL 613.
Saints' training ground is also a subsidary company of DMWSL 613 so the costs associated with its expansion etc do not show in these SFC accounts. OK, losses on player transfers etc were up by about £1M but so was turnover by £5.4M; interestingly the annual losses only reduced from £9M to £7.7M. Operational costs up by £3M+ but I guess that'll include the concourse refurb.
ees complicated no?

Pretty sure Staplewood is not a seperate subsidary, like jackson's farm, I believe it's an asset of the football club. (If you don't know, Jackson's farm is an area of land north east of the city worth about £15-20million). The thing with these figures, is that they are not wholly reflective of the current administration as the time period the figure were taken from include the period before the Mr. Liebherr bought the club where we were heamoraging in excess of £1million/month. So in reality, these figures arn't that bad. Just wait until the next figures come out and i'm sure it will show a completely different picture.
Anyway, this is massively off topic.

Very true! Twice in one week! Can't wait.
I think he said 14,000. But worth pointing out that plenty of Albion fans came up with similarly lame predictions at around that time.
