    According to todays T&A Rupp has loaned the club £1.76m in the last 4 years. I suspect this will rise to over £2 million some time in the near future.

    Also in the article is Ryan Sparks talking about the split season ticket idea. First part of the season on Ifollow and the second when we are allowed to mass gather again (hopefully). I think that is a good idea and its being run via the EFL. Its inventive at least. That way the club can still sell ST's but with a new slant.

    A certain German chairman called Wilhelm Norbert Pollack who took us into the first division and won the FA Cup under him. He later kept us afloat during World War 1

    I would also say Mark Lawn. Enjoyed success under him, without bankrupting us

    Richmond was a good salesman, I will give him that, but a terrible chairman, as evidenced by the huge debts he built up and left us with

    Interesting on the I follow /season ticket split... Has credentials Imo.

    However, its gonna be interesting if the I follow option is more expensive than the actual cost per match of a season ticket at around £6.30 a game. Currently a tenner on ifollow, would the fanbase accept (using an example of say 10 games on ifollow and 13 live at Valley Parade) a combined season ticket cost of c£185???

    It’s not as for a normal season ticket you only get home games and away games usually cost around £20+ per game, where as you’d get to see all games on ifollow home and away so if you look at it like that it’s cheaper.

    Its cheaper if you factor in travel cost's , drinks - food etc matchdays , bit off the dial i suppose . If you take kids etc with you that also increasing your match day cost's .

    I'm not in anyway doubting that but I have a feeling it could be hard sell for some of our declining fanbase. Let's be honest, look at the attendances when ita a tenner for a cup game.

    For UK subscribers but could that be relaxed under the circumstances, with sky inevitably getting a slice of the cake?

    So you had to go back to a chairman who ran the club before either of us were born?

    I'll take that as point proven.

    Not convinced.

    Sky, ifollow don't know what the product looks like as a whole. Think the Pl getting up and running will be for the best interest of the game.

    Surely if EFL games do go on behind closed doors its is in the interests of either or both to generate an income from it

    I think all rules are ripped up and a new arrangement could easily be set in place.

    If Ifollow offered this deal to ALL qualifying clubs then their revenues would go through the roof as significantly more people would be viewing, who would not have otherwise.

    They could easily reduce match fee's to £6.30 and still make a huge increase in overall income for virtually no extra outlay maybe except buy more bandwith, if thats how it works?

    My point was actually proven. You asked me to name a more successful or better chairman than Richmond, I just did mate

    I am really surprised the figure was not higher. How much did you think he had put in?

    Maybe you should define what you mean by better?
