how much would relegation cost the club........

[oldboyroy]

Not so much tv revenues as well as less season ticket sales, advertising income etc etc it would run into millions I imagine!! It doesnt bear thinking about but a realistic possibility though

 

[DavePage]

Not if we were on a promotion run, maybe

 

[The Wizard]

A lot, a helluva lot

 

[tommynockers]

Have no fear we are going to change Grounds with Bournemouth. Problem solved. They for prem. Us in 1st.

 

[Bry Nylon]

Don't forget to add back in the £74.19 sales revenue from the Christmas jumpers.

A lot more than it would to pay off the clueless Fin.

I think the away end would sell out every week if we got relegated as its a new ground for most of them and lower league fans are more hardcore. We won't go down anyway.

 

[oldboyroy]

I could be way off the mark pure guess that it would be about what? 10 million

It is a big end Foz, can you see Colchester, Walsall , Barnsley etc all filling the away end.
Fulham were given 3000 last week and if we were to go down then the allocation for away fans would increase.
Plus, what would Barber charge ?
They are used to paying £20 a game in league 1,that is a big drop in what we charge now.

 

[El Turi]

I doubt the club could afford to maintain category 1 academy status, which would be a blow so soon after opening the new training ground.

 

[Ernest]

AMEX would want to renegotiate I'd think and other corporates would SCARPER

 

[Bozza]

£5m. Maybe more.

Most commercial deals the club would have would reduce as a result of relegation. Solidarity payments from the PL reduce massively between the Championship and Football League too.

Gate receipts may be relatively stable, as...

1. Season ticket holders have to make the renew/don't renew decision quite early on, almost certainly before the club's fate is known.
2. Although far from guaranteed, obviously, the club would expect to be pushing for an immediate promotion and a winning team gets bums on seats.

 

[oldboyroy]

only a handful of league 1 clubs would fill the away end even a promotion push would see an average of 20k some midweek winter games will be around 15k and maybe the last few home games to clinch promotion/championship would the amex be full

 

[J2 DOG]

About the same amount we have wasted on mediocre players and staff! ****ing shambles! Cannot believe someone supposedly astute(Bloom) is allowing this shit to happen!

 

[TomandJerry]

The reduced prices of tickets

 

[oldboyroy]

I imagine Bozza that season ticket sales will drop considerably anyway due to this season and that will be a huge loss if things dont improve

I will get to Dicks at 1pm instead of 12.30 pm so £8.40

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

Putting it in 'Barber Terms', it's a great thing to build a customer base.

It's an absolute crime to lose one.

 

[Titanic]

If wages are such an issue in the Championship... perhaps playing in League One, maybe we can break even?

 

[Icy Gull]

Not as much as sacking Hyypia and funding a replacement it would seem, otherwise we'd have sacked him wouldn't we? There is no way he is going to keep us up.
