HibeeJibee Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 How much does running USH cost? Presumably it'd decrease chances of postponement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 There is no point in me speculating but im sure they have a contingency plan for all possibilities. Amazing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islay Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 How much does running USH cost? Presumably it'd decrease chances of postponement. Allegedly the Purvis Group will be fronting the cost of the USH so we don't need to worry about that aspect. Allegedly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Lanarkshire Jag Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 How much does running USH cost? Presumably it'd decrease chances of postponement. £3.5K for two days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da_no_1 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Noticed they're already selling tickets for the new year derby. With a high chance of postponent around this time of year. There is little chance of anyone buying tickets until the day of the match. Fair point - although it was deemed OK for your own club to employ the exact same tactic 2 months ago to get in some much needed October revenue. The tickets are on sale early for a number of reasons but I've no doubt the most important one is to get some cash upfront. If the game is postponed & not rescheduled until February, at least the club have some money in their pockets (black hole) It's really not that difficult a concept to grasp. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Selling tickets early is perfectly acceptable, but it is another 'robbing Peter to pay Paul' scenario. It keeps being emphasised that this is a cashflow issue. I think there comes a point (a month? Six weeks?) when you have to recognise it as something else entirely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1885 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 So if either the boxing day or the new year game are off then it's curtains. Great budgeting guys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA-go Par Adonis Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I reckon we'll be ok but might have to sell in January. I'm sure we could get £100k or so for someone like Falkingham and all will be well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Lanarkshire Jag Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I'm sure we could get £100k or so for someone like Falkingham You won't get big money for anyone. Nobody has any money. The issue will be removing them from the wage budget. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 (edited) According to their site, they have a squad of 19 for the U20s. So that means an average wage of about £450 (if the £10.5K figure is true) per month? Seems an awful lot for a youth squad. Surely not? I'd be surprised if the average wage of most First Division sides first team was higher than that! There is no point in me speculating but im sure they have a contingency plan for all possibilities. Fear I'm being whooshed here because you have to expect trolling, but is that like their contingency plan for not having many home games in November, which saw them only able to pay 37% of players' wages despite knowing that'd be the case since the fixture list came out? Edit: Re-reading the thread today when I'm not in a hurry as I was last night, I realise I was talking shite to an extent; obviously, I'd imagine that's around the average weekly wage for many First Division sides, not monthly! Over £100 a week is still daft money for youth players though. Edited December 5, 2012 by Dunning1874 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy85 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 (edited) We'd get nowhere near £100k for any of our players. Probably not even close to half of that tbh. Edit: and by half I of course mean quarter. Edited December 4, 2012 by Jimmy85 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozam76 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Surely not? I'd be surprised if the average wage of most First Division sides first team was bigger higher than that! Fear I'm being whooshed here because you have to expect trolling, but is that like their contingency plan for not having many home games in November, which saw them only able to pay 37% of players' wages despite knowing that'd be the case since the fixture list came out? "£4k of which has now been handed to the club from the Pars Supporters Trust and Pars Alive to pay 40% of the U20's salaries." From DAFC.net. So seems legit. And also just a wee bit insane. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poet of the Macabre Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 The fact that the quote on the website is from "a spokesperson" is just hilarious. Clearly no one wanted to get the stick from releasing that statement; good show of bravery guys A fundraising idea; "Pars Prozzies" Rent out volunteers for sex. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dafcburty Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I may be wrong with this, but, I'm sure under the "U20" banner are all the youth teams, their coaches and staff, plus the community and Academy of Sport staff. As I said, I may be wrong with this info, but that's how I've interpreted it from what I've read on .net, etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
