Nope your wrong, if we can bring in 1 million income we will revert back to spending 400k

Didn't see that anywhere?

Cheers for that! Didn't know and really interesting! Surely the surge in Merchandise this season can only help!

Also explains why SOC happy to cut cap! Prob hoping that we'd hit the 1mil (which no other side will) then we'd have an extra 100k on anyone else

LIKE IT!!!!

We are the only club that could potentially hit 1 million in this division but if the rough figures V4E just gave are right then that's a bloody tough ask. A massive advertisement push needs to go out next year. It would be great if say the club announced season tickets at £100 for the year for adults. Lets say we can then push to 2,500 season ticket holders and every season ticket holder gets £10 of the home shirt for next year?

Yea not bad! Wondering if 750k is current estimate or last seasons takings?

Surely having Vikingstorm back in one form would hugely boost sales!

£3 X 500(minimum per game) x 14 games (worst prob) = £21,000 extra in pot!

Very good point made on TIW! If we at cap limit now - 400k and that's 50% of income then surely we are turning over more like 800k+?

£200,000 is an awful big shortfall. Once all your main income steams have already been accounted for, where does the extra £200,000 come from?

we sell the players names to stobarts and they can put them on the front of their lorries.

Don't forget the advertising costs also - the companies that pay to advertise in the matchday programmes. £500 say per ad x 20 adverts x 14 games = £140,000, less costs.

The club would need to get the programme as an in house production but it's hardwork.
