Kemp Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 23 minutes ago, Ayrshire Saints said: Say we add 500 seats with 2 corners developed in the away end. Those 500 seats will be filled 3 times a season and only in seasons in the top division. 1500 x £25 = 37.5k per season. We would need to be 10years solid plus in the same division as the two cheeks to even get close to generating additional revenue. Poor decision imo ! Surely money received for players should first and foremost benefit us, the Saints supporters who pay week in week out and watch these players develope, not creating capacity for away supporters most of which will remain empty most of the time. Bigger away supports giving our opponents a boost in our stadium - great idea !!! Players will come and go, the stadium should be around for another 100 years.

Wendy Saintss Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Best thing to do would be to ring fence the McGinn money and invest it for the long term. Then, say in 20 years or so, we should have a massive lump sum of money which we could start to live off the interest.The ring fenced fund could, of course, be dipped into from time to time for things such as new AstroTurf for training pitches.

Yes it will..the stadium shall endure. It better for my name is on a brick.....when Smisa fails (and it will) when will the "look at me" wall come down? Ps to keep on topic, if John McGinn threatens to move as part of any swap deal and nortfor cold hard cash, why dont we get his brothers to batter him?

St.Ricky Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 1 hour ago, Kemp said: The OF could sell 4000 or 5000 tickets every time they come, expanding the away end makes perfect sense. We've also sold more home season tickets than ever before, hopefully suggesting our home crowds will continue to grow. If you look at the Morton game last season we could also have sold more tickets there if we had more options and where to house the small Morton support. It will be a considerably better stadium if we can fill in all the corners, and if we can afford to do that now and believe we can build further revenue generating facilities such as offices as part of the development then lets go for it! GS made his money in property so I'll trust him on this one. I support this approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Macgennis transfer money will be used to fund the new Double Decker Stands With Corners filled in we are heading for a 12000/13000 Capacity Stadium I heard the main stand is getting another level built on top of it - but that's another storey.

Now you come on and tell us its not moving much from £1.5 million the truth is you don't know anymore than me or anyone else on here so lets just wait and see how it pans out.

Wendy Saintss Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 I wouldn’t imagine that Scott Allan has much cash value at all.He’s a free transfer / left by mutual consent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not claiming to have any inside info here, this seemed to have been confirmed by the reports going round. Brendan Rodgers came out and basically said he is a Celtic player, which is highly unusual, so I believe the deal is done. Not sure how Scott Allan would work in terms of cash value to us. Could see it ending up at a tribunal to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 (edited) I have not saw anything from Rogers saying the deal is done ? what I have saw is that he said its up to the clubs to sort things out but was hoping to get him .

Could see it ending up at a tribunal to be honest.I reckon his value is close to zero.He’s 26 and has less than 50 Premiership appearances to his name.There aren’t any clubs that would pay a transfer fee for Allan IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not whataboutery you absolute plum, I sense a teachable moment so allow me to explain. When Rangers fans complain about being arrested for singing sectarian songs and they say "Aye but what about all the Celtic fans singing the same thing and not being arrested?", THAT is whataboutery. It's just one example. Now educate yourself before embarassing yourself again FFS. It is a deflection technique.

MenstrieSaint Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Think a wee extension on one of the ends with a couple of toilets and a catering facility in it would allow us to split the stand for two supports for some games , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To some extent the occupancy must be determined by the rent levels? Depends on the ROI to the club I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldnt be a massive footprint and maybe some parasols and seating outside so both sets of fans can mix.Would only cost a few bar staff looking for a dayshift on a saturday and bring in a couple grand a week potentially. Would be nice down at the corner between w7 and away end. Like a wee mini version of the witherspoons across from the radison blu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
