foreverarover Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Which absolutely zero of went towards the playing budget. FactSo the club played for a full season with no crowds and didn't touch the £500000 to pay wages. What are they paid, jelly totts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverarover Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 They were long ball merchants every time we played them and Devine and Broadfoot had the cigars out every time. They were the most direct in the league.Every time I've seen them as a Raith fan the tactic is to kick the best players off the part with a succession of players doing it to try to stop them being booked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverarover Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I had decided not to go on Saturday due to how bad other supporters have said Meadowbank is so I forked out for Falkirk TV but theyve just tweeted saying they can't broadcast the game either. Bloody hell! Clubs are no longer allowed to stream games live unless you live abroad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we've sold circa 2200 STs at, let's say an average price of £200, that equates to £440,000, meaning that our total income would be close to £3,000,000. I can't see where we're getting that sort of income from, unless they're referring to the years where we got big transfer fees and add-ons? It would be interesting to see a breakdown of previous year's income. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long ball or not, they still scored the most amount of goals in the Championship last season and conceded the second least. Wouldn’t mind that! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie Perrin Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 46 minutes ago, LatapyBairn. said: We had money for one more loan signing, McGlynn had intended on using it on another attacking player until PJ’s injury. Obviously that changed the priority and the funds had to be spent on a goalkeeper. Squad is still carrying a lot of dross and is far to big, we must have the biggest playing budget in the league and the only way to utilise it now is by forcing some of the shite from last season out one way or another to free up wages. Must be a really frustrating position to be in for the manager. Shite they may be but they also have a contract of employment which has to be honoured by the club unless the player and club come to an agreement on a pay off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 10 minutes ago, Caractacus Potts said: Yeh that is surprising. Thinking of it, it shows how well the commercial side does or that the season ticket sales are possibly made up of more child tickets than we would think? 2300 STs x £190 (rough average) so 15% is around £430K ? More puzzling……… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would imagine any parent who has kids U12 would purchase one on the off chance the kids want to go. If they were included then maybe the average is a bit lower. Even then it still makes for a lot of money coming elsewhere. What do the concerts bring in? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't think it would be a massive figure though once all of the associated expenditure is taken into account? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it’s just the previous incumbents, but this statement from the FSS throws more questions than answers. Still can’t get my head around 15%. Throws a hellava lot more questions about the revenue etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m enjoying that McGlynns style is a bit more direct. Hopefully we can start to find something that is a bit more effective for us. Passing from the back clearly isn’t it.

You'd like to think they'll be keeping a low profile to all things connected with the club the mess they've left us in and the way they treated fans.

I was merely suggesting that Campbell has done a good job building Arbroath up into the position they are in which may have helped them sign Scott Allan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being the best part time team in the leagues certainly gives them an advantage. He has been doing more and more media work recently so playing for Arbroath will suit him down to the ground I'd think and probably pay him more overall than anything he'd get elsewhere in the championship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it can also go the other way as we seen with the Kenny Miller appointment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's no electrical outlets within 45m of filming position in a brand new stadium they should be relegated on principle now. Madness when you consider the Falkirk Stadium was made to satisfy crazy stadium requirements. Now it's the wild west where anything goes. Feel like we've possibly swung too far the other way. Been thinking of getting one of these. If that's indeed the case with them that'll expedite that purchase. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-Portable-Station-Generator-Outdoor/dp/B09Q5DJV71?ref_=ast_sto_dp 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
