Relegation

My god. this almost made my eyes bleed.
With no money coming in from the premier league and a stadium that cost £8000+ per week to rent,
Reduced income from the turnstiles and corporate, we would be gone.
Non league is not for this club , they only way out is upwards, which looks a long way off under the ownership of Rupp, so for now we have to just maintain the status quo and hope that we achieve a miracle, either promotion or new owners who have a lot more interest.

 

Is it 1st April already

 

Ok if the guarantee was that we would be straight out but how many seasons have we been at this level ????

And we are no nearer leaving this league

 

Whilst promotion is unlikely, we are as close to the playoffs as we are relegation. Come back with your mad theories when/ if we are in real danger of it being a reality. In the meantime, get behind Alexander and trust him to "dust down and go again", destroying and rebuilding over the next two windows to put us in contention for promotion in 24/25.

 

You have to be having a laugh. Have you seen what happens to clubs who fall through the trap door? Scunthorpe, Oldham etc., Stop watching that Disney crap and wake up. It is bad enough being in this league, how much of a fan base would hang around?

 

Relegation would be the end of the club as we know it.

 

Hush now child
And don't you cry
Your folks might understand you
By and by
JUST MOVE ON UP
Towards your destination
Though you may find from
Time to time
Complication...................

Romagna time cheers all

 

Too many assumptions made there mate.

 

The logic of our fan base we would probably gain more supporters

 

16,500 all paying 25p for a season ticket.

 

If we went into the NL it’d be years until we came back. Fiercely competitive league.

our FL status is one of our few actual assets.

 

And there lies the problem. Too many cheapskate fans who want instant success for £8 a game.
Time for fans to decide if we want to progress or regress, pay more or accept mediocracy and possibly relegation because it’s clear Rupp won’t be funding any promotion push.

 

But if the price of a season ticket goes up to the league average, and everyone renews, what’s to say that the increase in income heads to improving the squad?

 

Well then in those circumstances we have every right to complain and protest as a whole fanbase that will have been lied to and deceived.
Paying £8 a game is great if you’re just happy to get out of the house on a Saturday and don’t care about mediocracy.
In reality if prices go up , the fanbase drops and so we are no better off. Just less people paying more for mediocracy.

 

Are you for real? Jesus wept I think you need to bang your head against a wall 20 times to get your 1 and only brain cell rebooted pal.

 

But we're told we already have a competitive budget so what confidence would any of us have that additional revenue from season ticket sales would be put to good use? Assuming prices go up by £50 and 15000 renew (implausible I know) that's £750,000 extra in the manager's budget, but from everything we've seen over the last few years the money would be wasted on yet another has been player, or one who fails to live up to expectations. Your argument would be compelling if we were told we had a crap Morecambe like budget but that simply isn't the case.

 

Not this one wouldn’t

 

Instant success!!! Really we are now into our 5th season of this league. Increasing the ST price will actually mean less money as fans are already fed up and will probably not renew. Our fans have been incredibly patient and I am beginning to think taken for granted.
