1000 walk ons ( the low side of Stanleys home fans but easier to calculate  ) @ £13 = £13,000 per match. If you sold 1,000 season tickets at £99 your'e going to have to attract a hell of a lot of walk ons to make up the deficit. I know the £99,000 would be up front but even putting that in a bank account and letting it gain interest wouldn't make up the shortfall. I think Eric may stick with the current situation unless somebody can guarantee him a couple of thousand walk ons per game. |
That's spot on. Or to put it another way, we'd have to sell 3000 season tickets at £99 to bring in the same matchday income as we get at the moment from the faithful 1000. The faithful would be bound to go for it (after 7 and a half games your footy would be free for the rest of the season) but it just doesn't add up to a sensible strategy for us.
