Whose of to Curzon Ashton on Saturday? Great bargain of £15 return. Let's get behind OUR team.
:bus: :bus: :cup2: :cup2: :comeon: :comeon:
Inexpensive admission as well. Saturday was myself, son and grandson cost for admission £52. If the 3 of us go to Curzon Saturday the admission will be £33. That's a staggering 58% more expensive to watch Lynn at home than away.
How does Cleeve truly justify that ?

He can't, although I'm sure he would try.
Maybe it's down to having an overseas investor. :dontknow:
Well it can't be down to rent he pays.

Not great for paying fans, but I guess he might say:
Cost of a full time squad
Cost of training facilities at Ely.
Cost of best manager in league and his assistant including traveling down from Manchester regularly
Cost of being based in Norfolk in a Northern League with travel and overnight stay costs
Whether all the above costs are necessary, is I guess, a different argument
It's the chairman's choice on what MO he runs his club on. Seems though he expects the fans and now Joe to continue to fund his hobby.
On a Personal level we had decided to go to every home game we could. We have since had a re-think and will at most now do every other home game.

Yes I can well understand that Mall. The M O at the moment seems to be if you have a successful team then that gets a reasonable crowd paying high admission fees. However, this only works if the club continues to be evermore successful IMO......if it doesn't achieve that then another and another investor are required to prop it up.
The alternative is something that is priced in a way that builds the crowd base and is not totally dependent on on field performance , so that for example it encourages families including grandchildren to come every week.
If the club are serious about "building" they surely need to find a middle ground.

A community club?
Chairman's Club Chairman's choice. I seem to recall SC tried a cheap admission deal but it turned out the extra people who attended didn't make up for the drop in admission cost. So the revenue for the game was less.
Think the interesting time will come on the lead up to Christmas then the gates in January. That's a good litmus test of people's spare cash.
I wonder if the new Commercial Director can pull in enough extra revenue to allow SC to charge a 'reasonable' admission fee or will he see that as it will be less him and Joe have to put in. Then again if SC isn't their to fund the Club what is he actually bringing to the party ? Let's hope this Commercial person does what all those who came before him failed to do.
I always buy a season ticket it's a bit cheaper that way,the cost of running a club like ours must be enormous with the likes of Electricity and other odds and sods taken into the equation.The chairman has poured thousands off his own money into running the club .i do appreciate the ticket is but what's the alternative,

His Club, his choice.
And of course the Elephant in the room........what happens when he decides to stop pouring thousands of pounds of his own money into the Club? Who services the debt then?
Most people have a hobby.

Yep this is where it gets circular.....the only way to service it is for someone else with big money to take over and so it goes on........... unless of course it all starts again lower down the pyramid.

Football Chairmen tend to want to lose their own money when they buy Clubs, not take on the debts from the previous one.
Some Hobby's don't come cheap.
This discussion has again drifted into talking about how the club is run. The original heading is Curzon On Saturday. Could we change the conversation to how the team may perform and the subsidised coach and things to do with Saturday. Please start another thread up if you wish to talk about how good or bad you think the club is run.

This has been covered previously.
Subject matters evolve, just as verbal conversations do. It's perfectly normal for this to happen.
What I would suggest you do is to now make a post on the subject of Curzon on Saturday, that hopefully others will respond to.
:scarf:
I did at the beginning of this thread
Has the coach for Saturday been filled now. Think it had a poor initial response despite it being subsided.
As for the game. Will be interesting to see what line up and formation AL goes with. Seems there will be a good few players missing. Hopefully we can pull a surprise off and be in with a chance of pulling a biggie on Monday.

Sorry, but that's the way it is.
Thought I would join the 100 guests on here! and give my prediction. Lynn will win. It might take a replay and a penalty shoot out. The last away game I went to was at Alfreton. If they play like they did that day they won't win.
Hello Chaps
Hope you are all well
Great to see some of you on a Saturday. Bit of a long journey for me tomorrow so will be listening on the radio.
Think there is over 34 something on the bus the boss tells me (Julia)
Funny how times change and I don't see my wife much anymore as she is always at the club ha ha
I'm going for a 2-1 win to Lynn
