6,500 season tickets sold as of 1pm today (according to lady in the box office)

OK have an opinion all you want on the press conference - but I've seen multiple comments about him wearing a scarf, a club scarf.

Jeeze, it might not be your personal cup of tea but the amount of focus this has drawn is just stupid. Bigger things to focus on.

 

But as we are loss making .....

 

You still have to pay your VAT regardless of profitability

 

That i never knew. I always thought it was rolled into the "tax bill" overall.

Good to know that

So yeah, he has a point then

 

Not too sure.. 7k is decent after last season

 

7000 season tickets will broadly meet the loan instalment due to the EFL. If anyone is in any doubt of the financial hole the club is in just stop for a moment and think about that.

The majority of gate income is already spoken for. Without sales of players there is no cash to meet salaries however big the cuts to the payroll are. The £1m from the owners is an operational necessity.

 

We are absolutely skint that's a definite . From what I've seen from the new board they don't fill me with optimism hence why I have not renewed . They have to pull something out of the bag regarding the manager for me to reconsider

 

The payments will be deducted from the central distribution amounts. Loans only applied to championship clubs and were capped at £8.3m or roughly 1 years distribution.

First and second division clubs received grants that are not repayable subject to adhering to spending caps.

So the only clubs in trouble are those relegated from the championship. That’ll be us.

 

Everyone’s entitled to spend their money the way they want but I find this attitude strange.
We are absolutely skint so as a supporter I have withheld further funds leading to us being more skint. Which results in us being more rubbish. Of course you can’t say this without being accused of being a “better supporter” but this attitude doesn’t seem supportive.
Everyone has different financial circumstances and it’s everyone choice how they spend their money but I don’t get the logic.

 

My 400 quid aint going to help is it?
we are skint because of the owners and the boards own stupidity. They had 11'000 season ticket holders last year and wasted the entire lot. We had cash on the bank now we are in debt. The money they have had to put in is to keep us going in the short term.
I think the owners should be ecstatic that they have fooled so many so far .

 

Again I don’t understand. First is £400 better for the club in your bank or in the club (for the club)? Well (for the club) the club obviously. Regardless of the insignificance of it, every little helps surely?

Second, you surely support the club, not the owners and so the thing that matters is the club. At the end of the day you’re watching the players in the barnsley shirt not the owners so I still don’t agree but I guess we will have to agree to disagree.

 

I'm
Not thinking any to be honest . N

well I have been stumping up the cash for more years than I care to remember . From what I know the owners have put nothing in apart from the 1million the other day . Let's not forget about the missing 750 grand eh!

 

All those blue dots.
Let's assume that, come the opening day those are still unsold seats. I think that will be fairly near the case but it's not entirely relevant to my point.
There are loads of blue dots in central areas of our seating that afford a good view of the action.
My experience as a pay on the day attendee over the past 15 years is that I will inevitably be allocated one of the seats in the very top corner of the East Stand upper or at the very front of the Ponty. In fact it made me stop even contemplating going in the Ponty despite the fact that it's cheaper because I hate a pitch level view. Most people do.
My point is why cant the tickets in central areas be sold first to pay on the day customers thus making their matchday experience better. I've always seen empty seats in better areas available during games while I've been stuck in the top corner getting neck ache.
Maybe I should write to Khaled.
