well a 2k drop turns 8 million loss into 9 million loss
That depends if the sponsorship deal doesn't cancel it out. Sponsors contribute more than tickets as does tv money.

I think if sponsorship can cover the running cost of the lancing training centre we will be very lucky

You still wouldn't go and neither would RotR.

20's plenty but £19.99 and i'm back in!
You'll be ok when you're an OAP then.

The cheapest adult season tickets are £465.00. £20.21 per game, including travel. So unless the travel element is worth less than 22p to you, why are you not 'back in' now?

I was looking at the match by match prices,plus after all the wait for falmer why sit in inferior seats,probably only sit in the esu as the view and backdrop cannot be beaten!

Goodness me. That's almost a positive![emoji33]I was looking at the match by match prices,plus after all the wait for falmer why sit in inferior seats,probably only sit in the esu as the view and backdrop cannot be beaten!
With the amount of money from TV, prices should certainly be lower as it does price some people out of going. But that's not the same argument as the sort RotR was whinging about, and is as relevant to every football club as it is to us.
Crowds are clearly going to be nowhere near 15,000 unless we have a disastrous season. Here's the analysis:
The implication of saying "15,000 crowds" is that these will be a regular occurrence - a bit like the reasonable view that we have dipped to 20,000 crowds this season, or 87% of our total STH count. So if we have a similarly disappointing campaign next season, and crowds dip to 87% of STH count, that would suggest our STH count was 17,250 next season. So here's the thing - does anyone seriously believe we are going to lose nearly 6,000 (25%) of total STHs over the summer? Because that is what this tiresome moron is suggesting.
And regardless, after a shocking season this time round, bums on seats only went as low as 16,500 for the Wigan game on a Champions League night. And that was ONE game against a team who brought no fans FFS. It wasn't an average and nobody is talking about "16,500 crowds" because we had ONE, maybe two ALL season!

Well we had 16k-17k in the ground at times this season when we had 21k sth so if we lose 3000 then we could well have 14k in the ground for some games.

You continue to struggle. Even basic reading of a post you quoted seems beyond you.
To repeat, we had 16-17k once, maybe twice. And that's based on STH count of 23k, not 21k (which may or may not be right).
IF we lose 3,000 people (or 13%, which is unlikely I think), there is a very SLIM chance that one or two games have gates that low. But sadly for you, that remains only a slim chance because it's fair to assume that of the 3,000 not renewing, some (most) of them weren't turning up for Wigan at home on Champions league night anyway.

At last some clarity. So effectively you're now saying that there might be 1-2 matches in a 23 game season where unofficially on A Tuesday night about 15k (not tickets sold which you agree will be far higher) will attend a match. (Cos season ticket holders might think it's unattractive opposition and don't show and stay at home)
So effectively like this season then when the average tickets sold for each game will probably be c26k at season end and close to that in terms of attendance especially for 3pm KOffs. And The highest in the championship bar Norwich and Derby.
Healthy stuff given our position in the league.
Agreed ?
