Any way of listening to this? St mirren radio not playing it.

There was a post earlier from kendo saying his group had a 100 quid kitty and 7 guests generating an extra 21 which was not bad for 3 hours work. I work in hospitality. Breaking it down with the known facts, which is the 7 guests, the £100 kitty and the £21 guest signing fee, no idea how many members, so 7 people with the 100 quid kitty and 21 pounds of signing in fees for 3 hours works out at 121/7/3 which is roughly 5.76 per head down per hour. Which in hospitality terms is pish. And that's not factoring in the members who are also in the kitty bringing the average spend down. I understand though the membership fees are paying the building costs, so essentially for me whoever is in charge needs to decide what's more important. A busy facility or one with a guarantee of paying off the cost. 7 guests signed in on the basis of 2 max per member would be 11 people in the group. They spent £121. The capacity is 232 so if the club was full with groups like that it would be roughly 21 groups of 11 people generating £2.5k gross revenue. Is that enough to sustain it. I would say probably not. BUT the membership fees are paying off the costs so it's a double edge sword. I put thpoint across during the early days that I didn't think it was the right way to go about it but I can see why the option was chosen. How long at current membership rates will it take for it to be paid in full, and how soon after it is paid will the entry be looked at to make it less complicated as per the post above?

The chairman has already said he won't be ploughing any more of his own cash in and that revenue has to be increased.

Out of interest, would the colts teams would have a seperate registration and their own squad. Maybe I'm a cynic, but the rumours about ibrox still being a financial basket case have never went away. What's to stop a colt team being set up and used as a way round a liquidation for reentry into the league. It may not be possible, I can't help but feel it has been thought of somewhere though.

A season ticket for the next 15 years at current prices for a padded seat would be £5250 but you want it for 2.5k. Crackpot.

Thought as much.

Nice sentiment, but not sure it would even be legal to name a director of a limited company posthumously?

A higher level than a team playing in the champions league? What level are we at?

Currently your a member of an organisation that's got about 30 percent I think. Gordon Scott golds all the aces for about the next ten years.

It's also a done deal so doesn't matter if there are any other options. It's no longer for sale.

I questioned before why Gordon Scott wasn't putting up his previous 8 percent. If I recall correctly, the fans will own 67 and would need his 8 to get the 75. This is not for sale however I believe.

If he's under contract elsewhere just now and signs he can't play till January. Load of pish

I don't think anybody particularly cares about it now. More a case of a way to bullet him that doesn't cost money

That's the paragraph from post I was thinking of.

I'm sure there was a post on here a while back from Zurich Alan, maybe round about the time of spear gate. Pretty sure he said that different industries have different standards when it comes to what's viewed as acceptable behaviour.

I hope so. For some bizarre reason I took us -2 on the coupon

1 down already. Brilliant

He says he's responsible because he brought half of them in. Was there not only one or 2 still under contract at the end of last season?

That came from the St mirren facebook.

Surely the issue is only to make more money on the days it is already open? If it was to be open 7 days a week for 8 hours it would cost roughly 20 grand at minimum wage to staff it with one member of staff then up to about 24ish with employers NI. Pension I'm not sure about. That's before any stock has been bought, any cleaning products, any utility bills have been paid. Realistically it would have to be making probably 50 or 60 grand to break even. Barking mad. Some way of opening it up to non members and making more money when it's already open and staffed would be ideal. Some of these ideas are mental and a sure fire way for it to go down the pan. If there was any market for a coffee shop/restaurant/pub outside of match days in a lego football ground situated in a shitehole with only a couple of businesses across the road there would already be one.

All you want isn't Alex Rae to do well. You want him to lose the next few games an get the sack. Pick one or the other. At least be consistent. we are crap . In fact I was hoping we would lose not just this game but the next few just to get Rae out the door it really is terrible stufff. That's a quote from the match day thread from you

Why? Are they not part of the group of people who watch football?

50% of the total. It's right there in the chart.

Nah everybody already knew but none of us on here are smart enough for his highness so had to give him an outsiders Pont of view and some numbers for him to look at

After a very quick google, in 2012 percentage pf population watching football were Scotland 3.68 England 2.69. Oaksoft talking shite? Source http://www.sportingintelligence.com/2012/04/02/revealed-the-most-dedicated-football-nations-the-faroes-iceland-cyprus-scotland-and-england-020403/
