      We get 10% of their gate receipts which should include season ticket sales. I wonder how much that is.
      If it’s £2 million quid then that’s only £200,000 quid. They’re on a right bargain there. Should be at least double that.

        When they realise how little they get from RL being played there I think they might look into re negotiating the terms.
        Their average attendance is around the 12000 mark, but how many of those actually pay, 6, maybe 8 thousand, of which most will be season ticket holders.
        Their season tickets are even cheaper than ours, and a massive chunk of them are OAPs and kids which are virtually free.
        The £200,000 you quote is probably stretching it a bit.

          Wankstains with us until 2050! ha ha ha

          Fear not herr Moss, the joke sport will have disappeared professionally long before 2050. Just played by keen enthusiasts desperate to keep the memories alive.Not unlike a Northern Soul shindig. Old clips being shown on some obscure channel that nobody watches except the sad old eggs who cannot believe that their beloved sport has been forgotten. Passed over by tv who would rather broadcast kabaddi and the British topiary championships.[/quote]

          That’s ‘Herr Möss’ to you! ;)

            Thanks for attaching the document, really interesting read. No mention of Sharpe going forward I see. Complicated structure of set up of the company and valuations. I assume approval will be a formality

              This company leases stadiums for events so get your baseball hats on hoodies corndogs, popcorn and soda and plenty of woo woo wooing !!
              for:

              Monster trucks,
              WWE TLC UK summerslam,
              Skateboard BMX X games,
              Dancing On Ice Grand Final,
              X Factor on tour
              The Great British Bake off final
              Fish’O’Mania 2019

              And if we’re lucky they’ll squeeze a game of football in
              The next few years are going to be very interesting I just hope they don’t forget thier not just buying a stadium, thier buying a football club with a growing passionate fan base with history not many Prem clubs even have

                Bit of WWE wouldnt go amiss, and if anyone knows someone who gets these mythical freebies to rugby games every week can you send em my way so I can save myself 200 and odd quid a year?

                As for the actual takeover…..I’m glad they won’t be someone who throws money around because as people have said there is less chance of them spitting their dummies out if things don’t go to plan but hopefully we do have a slightly larger budget than we do now to enable us to compete at a higher level.

                  If watching RL isn’t bad enough, now you tell us you like WWE, you don’t half worry me at times mate.
                  As for the free tickets, if RL still exist when your little’un starts school you’ll get plenty, just be patient.

                    Kids tickets maybe, but not adult ones as well. I used to get offered kids tickets for BOTH sides when I was at school.

                    Aye, WWE is my guilty pleasure I suppose.

                    Sorry Fil, quite right a slight mistake by yours truly.

                      thier buying a football club with a growing passionate fan base

                      growing passionate fanbase – Really?

                      Did you read the report where it says we have between 6,000 and 8,000 ST holders? That’s over half what it was a few years ago. And despite the smokescreen put out by some posters on here, a fair proportion of those are kids who have paid around £23 for the whole season.

                      I don’t think this group are here to chuck money around and buy us a place in the premier league like DW did.

                      But isn’t that the perfect definition of a growing fanbase?
                      Kids turn into adults and these aren’t giving allegiance to United or Liverpool.

                          Exactly GL. The one stand we should be aiming to fill is the South.

                          Couldn’t be more right gl, that’s always been our Achilles Heel. Little Johnny and Jenny may have wanted to be Latics fans especially in the Prem years but mum and dad have always supported Citeh and the scumbags or the Scouce pair. We need kids in their thousands going to be our future fanbase.

                            A casino in between the canal and the duggy, sounds good.
                            Prams and bikes one side, giant rats and dock leaves the size of me shed roof, more like a scene from Jurassic Park.
                            These guys specialise in leasing stadiums for events, now it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see what thier long term intensional are going to be.
                            This club will be like a tightly run ship while hopefully they do the business on the pitch and go to the top

                            Little Mix that is
