Season Tickets

It's a nightmare of an argument tbf, and tbh everyone with different views/takes on the situation are all correct. Despite the recent history of poor spending of budgets etc we shouldn't really hold that against the new manager. I think we should come to a point of backing our man with a slight increase alongside Rupp showing an interest and dipping in his pocket to slightly push the boat out. The annoying thing is in L2 it would be a tiny amount of his wealth he'd have to speculate to make a huge difference is miniscule, with huge rewards in L1 for revenue.

 

So we Sack Adams, who cost money to aquire and get rid off. Bring in Mark Hughes , more than likely at a cost.
Where has the money come from.
Inflation is running at 7% , How do the club cover that. No increase in ticket price means it all comes out of the playing budget, or we try to increase commercial income.
Fans want better football and players,but dont seem to want to pay for it.

 

You neglected to include the option where the owner puts his hands in his pockets and speculates to accumulate. The fans shouldn't need to pay for it. Promotion increases the value on the club. That's his return.

 

It's a fair question but I still agree with Andy. The budget to compete was actually there (if you believe Sparks ..... yeah I know) so with an extra little boost I suppose we just have to trust Hughes and the club to spend it better.

£10 a game for an adult isn't a price people should be complaining about to watch professional football.

 

I believe that the budget to compete was there...
The wherewithal to spend it wisely on the other hand was and has been sadly lacking....

 

They pay less than half of what we pay

According to documentation obtained by the BBC, the club is spending some £17,000-a-month on renting the town centre stadium. The County Ground, which has a capacity of 15,700, has been the club's home since 1896.

 

No. Its Mike Smith, I think he was another associate director

 

That search result, I believe, is from nearly ten years ago.

There's also claims the ground costs nearly the same again in terms of upkeep because it's so old.

So about the same.

 

It’s not ours is bigger probably a bigger rates electric staffing bill and we pay ours

 

The very same!

I believe they're trying to buy the stadium now.

 

It's definitely claimed publicly that the annual upkeep costs 200-300k.

I don't know what our upkeep is.

 

When Lawn owned the club he ran it on a shoestring basis to give every penny saved to the manager for the playing budget, At the moment our off field employees seem to have bloomed to quite a big staff maybe more staff than players, Now we may need those staff but the simple rule that a member of staff ( non football ) should bring in more than his own salary should be applied to see if they are really needed or are just taking money out of the club that could be spent on the players

 

It’s fairly straightforward in my eyes, raise them a steady amount when we have a successful season(definitely promotion only at this level). Keep them the same if we don’t(like now). This allows us to capitalise on a successful product, or not drive fans(customers) away when it’s not successful.

 

Raise them if the manager completes the season. Keep them the same or lower if he is sacked. In other words reward the club for stable decision-making or have a tangible sanction in place for mistakes higher up. That'd get Ryan focussing on his due-diligence a bit more.

 

They’d be about £20 in a few years happy days!

 

How do you know the owner has not promised Mark extra funds for next season. I can not see him taking the job without some sort of commitment from the owner.
With the economy and the world heading like it is , holding your prices, may be very noble, but eats into any profit you make and reduces your spending capacity.
I have just had an e-mail from my skip suppliers saying the cost will rise by 12% from the first of April.
I would love to be in the position to not be bothered by that hike, unfortunately it will be passed onto my customers.
Bradford city is no different. Business rates , fuel cost, water rates are all rising at an alarming rate. Do city absorb all these so we can have cheap football. if the answer is yes , then expect reduced playing budgets and poorer squads.
Business owners can not keep dipping into their own pockets to prop up company's, it is a sure way to bankruptcy.
Rupp might be worth £100 million, but how much of that is cash at hand and how much is assets. Good idea Stephan, sell your profit making business to pump the money into a league 2 football club with no guarantee of a return.
