The catering sales used to be irrelevant to the Bulls - as all food and drink outlets were franchised out. Has that changed?

Re: Jake Mullaney : Wed Dec 09, 2015 12:13 pm  

Unless the £900 includes the cost of the season ticket I really can't wrap my head around the figures

Assuming a standard adult terrace season ticket: £230
Home & away shirts: £85
Away tickets bought through the club assuming average £20 each - £220
3 away tickets for middle 8s bought through club £60
In ground food/drink purchase if average £10 per game - £150 inc middle 8s
Coach travel £10 per away game (11 regular, 3 M8s, 1 Blackpool) £150

That gets to £895, so maybe it's not such a stretch, but not everyone goes to every game or goes by club coach so there's still some stretching involved

Oh wait, I forgot Blackpool another £20 for that so now £915

Bear in mind that away tickets bought through the club, the club only gets 10% of, not the full amount.

I think the figure is on turnover so, when the club is acting, more or less, as an agent for the away club, whether the full amount counts as our 'turnover' is maybe a moot point, though it's difficult to see how it can count on both clubs accounts. Any 'creative' accountants out there?

Even if that was the case, I can't see Marc Green saying "Well you've bought a £20 ticket for another club, we get £2 of that, but I'll make up the extra £8 so we can spend it on salaries".

Well, no, neither can I!

And of course any social events - pre season & end of season Ball (£60 a ticket +drinks), BBQ on the pitch, that kind of thing.

More chance of Chris Caisley riding into Odsal on Shergar.

Well I was only trying to pull together figures that MIGHT add up to this mythical £900 quoted.

As said, there are other things to take into account - higher priced season tickets for seating areas, the money from people in the Coral Stand etc

But I still don't know where this £900 has come from
