I thought the original 12k or 14k was when we thought we were going to have to borrow a shed load of money from the banks and pay bags of interest. As we didn't and got an intrest free loan, the breakeven figure might have been less.
However I think our outgoings have soared, (wages, staff numbers, security, ground upkeep, etc, etc), and I think that even on 20k we might not turn much of a profit.
It will be fun to see the first years accounts when there produced in a few months time.

I think the original 12k/14k breakeven figure was to cover all outgoings including the mortgage repayments with a view to paying off the mortgage early when revenue streams from the Premier League flowed in. Now that TB has given us an interest free loan all the figures are meaningless.

I wasn't just talking about Palace's previous owners. How many other chairmen communicate with the fans in the way that ours do? How many of them respond to the feedback given by dickheads and actually scrap fantasy stadiums? How many chairmen are as tight, mediocre and uninspiring as Steve Parish? How many of them are as financially sensible by not wasting a penny in a potless trainwreck like Palace? ooh, ooh - None.

Are they making a stadium out of scrap metal? Sounds about right

CPFC2010's Steve Parrish has said that they may have to use this place while work is done on the stadium... role reversal anyone!

To be fair, that is probably an improvement on Selhurst Park.

...also interesting to see that the plans are not to 'redevelop' SP but to knock it down and build a brand new stadium on the site.
Sort of, but not really comparable. Its just up the road from their current ground, and seats 15,000. Its a better stadium than Selhurst, frankly.

At least they might sell it out.
In relation to any profit from our Stadium, to balance us being above the break even number given by MP it is my understanding that the costs of running the stadium especially electricity have been quite a bit more then expected, although like has been said I'm sure it has all be factored in, and if it was a significant issue we probably would have seen a season ticket price increase.

This would be brilliant. What excuses would they serve up when getting 7k crowds

In terms of bricks and mortar, or in terms of running it?
Nike (under the Just Sport brand) run the club shop on their behalf. It is I believe a condition of having Nike supply your kit these days that they run your club shop from top to bottom. See the likes of Barnsley, Oxford, York, Stockport, Doncaster, Lincoln, Palace, etc. Charlton handed over running of our club shop to them a couple of weeks ago.
Can't say I like the idea, but there must be financial benefits to it, and clubs presumably get their shop back when their shirt deal with Nike ends.
ees complicated no?

They should just move there, looks better & cleaner and more their size.
Their kit is not Nike, though.

We had a Nike kit up to the end of the season. As fataddick rightly states, Nike run th,e club shops for the clubs, I don't know if the club take over the running of it next season.

Maybe you'll get Sainsbury's to run it?
