Glover Street is a nightmare as it is, so you'd have to find a way around that. Maybe find a way to work the park and ride in to run shuttle buses to games? I actually don't think it would be that bad. Lots of people would walk in or get a bus and those who are driving would probably park in the streets close - but not too near - to the ground and walk in. Then you have the retail parks with loads of parking by the likes of B&M. I think people would quickly learn to avoid driving round that area on matchdays, which is no bad thing if it means reducing traffic on the roads or makes people consider alternative means of travel into town. ETA: nothing stopping the council putting a post on their socials reminding people it's matchday so there will be increased traffic and to avoid the area if they can. Probably too sensible an idea for P&K Council though. Edited February 23 by jamamafegan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't some ancient terraced stadium built 100 years ago, it's only 35 years old. Fairly sure the Browns were quoted, before Covid, as saying maintenance costs for the ground were starting to spiral out of control. With major renovations (again) needed on the car park and pitch, and the seats in the stadium seeming to regularly be coming loose from the concrete. Latest account seem to suggest we set aside around £800k- £1m for the stadium every year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Accounts for last season now up on companies house, btw. Turnover: £5.1m Transfer fees spent: £300k Wage bill (all teams): £4.55m Total loss: £2m Cash reserves: £4.56m Transfer fee total, and sly dig about keeping an eye on "youth development fees", probably confirms the rumours we spent £250k on a youth player, with the rest being the Nicky Clark fee? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't there rumours of Clark's fee being around that an annual wage bill of near 5 million???? I dont follow the accounts much to be honest but that sounds wildly out of control (as I type this though I do start thinking... well we kinda knew it was out of control). Especially compared to turnover! That seems to be at least double what it should be? Edited February 23 by SJFCtheTeamForMe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They say they usually have it at 60-70% of turnover, and the season before was (from memory so sorry if its wrong) about £3.2m 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What it produced as well was no better than what it was with the much power wage bill as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 That wage bill is utterly ludicrous, especially when you see the players, coaches and staff up the stairs it helped pay for (not all of them obviously). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tree house tam Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I'm not offended by the moving Saints out of Tulloch chat. I'm deeply offended Jamama thinks that the railway yard in-between Hunters and Muirton is Tulloch. c***s been snorting mulled wine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radford Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Hold on. We spent £300,000 on transfer fees between May 2022 and May 2023? Come on, someone just spit it out who this momentual f**k up was regarding. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s fine having kids stuff on it but any damage from a cigarette or alcohol could mean it’s unusable for a period of time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Saints Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Following the speculation a couple of months ago, I'd be willing to bet a fair amount on the identity of this player. However, I'll wait for Callum Davidson and/or the bold Flax to provide a bit of further clarity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
