We will only be out of the woods, financially speaking, when we get a commercial department up and running. I mean our shirt deal and other so-called merchandising activities are less than pathetic.

We have to run to stand still in this league. It is not just our commercial revenues which lag behind the bigger clubs. Our matchday revenue is three to four times below the top clubs. The only solution to that in the short term is to put the prices up and/or reduce the discounts for kids and pensioners.

I hope someone is going to produce a report of the meeting?

Sounds like a Conservative plan, John (3) pick on kids and pensioners, any more ideas like that.

John Raftery (3) – "The only solution to that in the short term is to put the prices up and/or reduce the discounts for kids and pensioners."
It’s no solution (short-term or otherwise) at all if prices go up and thousands (including kids and pensioners) immediately respond with "Fuck that – too much for me!"
IÂ’ve no doubt (as a group of supporters) weÂ’re already amongst the PLs least affluent and I personally know many blues who, for financial reasons, think it wiser to go for a few pints and watch the game free.
Any significant rise in ticket prices could see a big drop in match-going supporters.
