Re: Season Tickets - 2011/12
The club has to find £32K per month to pay the tax man. After we have paid them we can start paying every body else. if the average gate receipt per person is £10 (takes into account consessions) the club takes £32000 at the gate on a reasonable average game. Do the maths we can't afford to give away entry to the gronud . We play 23 home games during a nine month period and then there is a 3 month lull where there are no revenue opportunities people still need paying during this period.
The only thing that suprises me about the season ticket prices is that people are suprised at the increase. It isn't like getting a season ticket in April/May is a new idea, surely most of you knew you would have to have a couple of hundred quid put aside around this time in anticipation of season tickets coming up for sale?
In my experience of following the club away, many other clubs make a charge to go in their sports bars. Unless I am mistaken the Crown is still run by the club isn't it that will still bee free entry I assume.
I am glad I am not involved in running or financing the club because after reading this it would appear that the majority of people in Accy think the place is a charity. Especially all the free loaders who turned up on Tuesday night and who won't be seen again until the next freebie.
We nearly went bust 18 months ago because people will not pay the going rate to see Accy play, it is tragic.
I would pay to see this group of players playing 5 a-side on Highams. Get real everyone and get ypuour hands in your pockets and support the club you love (its only the oprice of a few pints)
