The commercial side of things is certainly something that will eventually be a big earner for us. I think it will take a couple of years to grow this side of the business to its full potential, but with naming rights, sponsorship, a large store at the ground, conferences, meetings, weddings...

Assuming we go up my guess is £12M matchday, £3M TV, £3M commercial, in total £18M.

Different people appear to have been told different things. I asked at my presentation what the dress code would be and was told that replica shirts would not be allowed, except possibly for children. I asked if what I was wearing at the time would be ok and was told yes. I was wearing trainers...

Claridge's viewpoint is just typical of the attitude in this country that has prevailed for years. He has leapt of one result as proof of his opinion, whilst ignoring the wealth of evidence that suggests if you have faith in your players' abilities you will achieve more success than by playing...

I have a vague memory of someone playing for us who was also a Bulgarian international.

But, at the risk of repeating what someone else has said, how is that a valid criticism of the club? They don't have any say in the matter, other than presumably providing the opposing club an estimate of how high demand is likely to be. The decision to make away games is not theirs to make...

Great soundtrack by Roy Budd too.

He's probably earned more money in his short career than every poster on this thread will earn in their lifetime combined. I dare say he has enough money to give up his job tomorrow and go skiing with his beautiful girlfriend 10 times a year for the rest of his life. And people will have...

At the moment. Disability can happen to anyone at anytime. Through old age, accident or illness many currently able-bodied supporters will encounter disablility in their lives. You could therefore argue it's in ALL our interests that Falmer has the very best facilities and so it's not rich at...

Looking at a cross section rather than a plan to take account of the hypotenuse: The red line is the distance from the back of the West to the pitch. The blue is the same length line at pitch level. Assuming the ends of the sight lines mark the width of the pitch, the distance to the back of the...

Another thing is that the first couple of rows could still get wet if it's raining and the wind is in the wrong direction.

Not to mention the season ticket holders who have already opted for the 1901 club. That's several hundred more out of the equation.

Ah ok. I got the impression from your post that you weren't aware of this. Judging by other posts I don't everyone does know this. I take your point though. I think the clubs line was that they didn't want to penalise younger supporters. In my opinion the number of people exercising the option...

I think there are over 2000 people who have had a season ticket for 9 or more years. They are only getting through 160 people a day so it would take around three weeks to get through everyone in this group. As they decided to allocate the appointments by Withdean block number, rather than first...

4 (10:00 12:30 15:30 18:00)

Now I guess, but I thought I read that they were being done in block order within this group.

Could have sworn we had a goal disallowed and hit the bar! Never mind. At least you get to see some of the bookings.

Unlikely? Impossible more like. Some of those attending will be under 16 and they are not entitled to +3. I'd be surprised if on average each season ticket holder purchases more than around one extra. I know a group of around 12 people who are all current season ticket holders who want to sit...

Judging by how many people say they want to sit in the North Stand I think there is a case to be made for putting home fans in the South Stand too. There are only around 2500 seats in the North and it looks likely many more people would prefer to be behind a goal. That said a lot of the South...
