Anyone know how many steps are in the #KM7? Dunno but apparently they've split it into levels. Where I wanted mine around Row N is in the 4th level and they're still selling steps in the 3rd level so I think they must be selling fast. To be honest, £50 for 5 years is cheap. Maybe do it per season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shafted is commonly used on here, be good to know what we actually contribute? It’s predominantly the main stand that’s the issue, the club only own the pitch and external part (the seated bit). We have use of the changing rooms ect but all the cash generating facilities within the stand I.e. office space, catering facilities, corporate boxes, function lounges ect the council own and run so we now need to pay them a service charge every time we use these facilities. The north stand is the clubs and SA ownes the south stand which he rents back to the club. I’ve no idea how much these council service charges actually are for the main stand but have heard repeatedly over the years it costs us a significant amount.

Bairney The Dinosaur Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I'm genuinely struggling to distinguish what is a serious post in here. Dead wife one had me in stitches until about half way through. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They never actually asked me where I wanted it tbh, I subsequently sent in an email just requesting which stairway I wanted so I can show it to the wean before we take our usual(ish) seats, since il undoubtedly be forced to check on it every week to confirm its still there.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cba working the exact numbers but that leaves roughly between £100k and £150k for the FSS. I’ve no idea where the 4,000 FSS members from. I’ve never heard it mentioned anywhere except here. I doubt they banked on the Rawlins. Would be naive if it was the case. They left before the board came in. No way were they going to put any more money in to the club.

I heard it was in the region of £250k a year which wasn't an issue when we were in the top league and turning over £3 million. However, the club 'forgot' to add a clause with a sliding scale linking the amount paid to our league position. Hence we continue to pay in League 1 what we would be paying if we were still in the Premier League. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water, Electricity, Cleaning etc all will have a nice% surcharge added on. The stadium situation has been discussed and debated on the forum before. The club are screwed and there is no get out unless the club buys out and that ain't going to happen. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The get out would be to vacate the main stand and only use the seating areas/changing rooms which would cut the council out all together financially. There must be scope to have corporate hospitality and office space in the south stand. Ideally if we had a magic money tree building another stand on the east side with cash generating facilities would be the ideal solution.

Suggested that option a while ago and was advised the terms of the lease dictate that we are charged whether we use it or not. In other words FFC are committed to the whole package 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that time the club were actively considering moving everything to the south stand. Edited December 3, 2022 by LatapyBairn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
