Lost Revenue, Paying Millward Off : Sun Apr 07, 2013 11:54 am  

My last rant of the day before I go back on the naughty step.

Yesterday we were 3500 below our average, although taking into consideration Grand National, lets say we were down 2000, If the trend is continued for the next two home games, assuming The Little Fox is still here. They are against Widnes and Salford, I think we can safely assume the Widnes game will be the same attendance, they bring noone and it is on SKY, so we we be down 2500 (no grand national to contend with). Similarly with Salford we will probably be 2000 down on that one.
That is a loss in attendance of 6500 @ £20 per adult that is £130,000 in lost revenue. I would think that would balance having to pay Millward off. I am sure if we brought in someone like John Kear the attendances would immediately rise, as we all know what JK did with Wakey, he plotted our downfall, and kept Wakey up.

I think if you offered basil 130k he would rip your hand off looking at what's happening at your club

That is a pretty simplistic way of looking at it as:

Not all people not attending the games would be adults
Some people staying away are Members (already paid for their entry

I do agree that IM has to go and JF would get a better return on his investment by sacking / paying off IM and watching ther attendances rise.

You Cas fans are being to Harsh , on Basil , the mans knows the Game inside out , a wise man once said "Dont look up at the moon , if the sky is silent ",it helps to relay these thoughts to most fans , as we all need to be assured of outcomes reffering to the opposite feature .

Bloody hell mate, if I had the attitude that I wasn't going to go because I thought we were going to get beat then I wouldn't have been to a game in the last 3 years!
