As stated many times on previous posts, all clubs, in all (most) sports, report attendances, including ALL season tickets, even if not in attendance. It’s not a BFC conspiracy.
We have around 30 pros on the books that's a fair old chunk in wages alone. It's said we don't pay decent wages we were openly trying to move people on in January we didn't get many out the door. That tells me nobody wanted to pay similar money to play for them nobody stayed for the love of BFC. Football needs a reality check I Googled the average wage of a skilled manual labour worker it's around 35/40K I dare say non of the pros will be on anywhere near that little. Is that a fair comparison I'm not sure but clubs of our size can't afford to pay wages of say 5k pw thats 260k per year it's total madness. I fully understand if we don't pay the wages we don't get the player but as a business this is unsustainable. It's not hard to see why the short fall is 8m in any other business the shutters would have been down in 5mins.
