So based on all that you are saying he is lying? Why are you so afraid just to say 'GLS is lying and it isn't a 10% increase in wage budget like he clearly said' The 54k was an estimate on W6/7 vs two stands. I assume GLS is comparing one vs two, which I did first and thought was more practical Why people wanted to compare to an arrangement when he wasn't even the chairman I have no idea but I still showed my estimate. What we do with other teams vs what we do with OF is perfectly reasonable from a comparison perspective I never said if the £1.15 million was conservative or otherwise, why are you putting words in my mouth? I said it was based on the only figures/ numbers available to me. What has the Heaton transfer got to do with anything? It is in no way relevant to what he said. Last bit is a contradiction. You either accept GLS is telling the truth on 10% or you're claiming someone with full access to our income and outgoings, accountants and likely others able to give financial advice is a liar. This is a red herring. The 10% isn't a comparison of any allocations of stands. It's a direct comparison of last years playing staff budget compared with this year's. The breakdown of the stands is irrelevant. It doesn't matter wther it's 2 stands 1 stand or 3 stands. The comparison he mentions is playing budget year on year.

Dibbles old paperboy Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 My guess is that when we play the ugly sisters we are looking at an extra 2k away fans on average (per game against them) compared with the average attendance from other premiership teams when we play them, and factor is that some home fans stay away, it is probably equivalent to having 1 extra home game a season and 1 extra first team player. If i was being picky it is more likely to be worth 5% on our budget rather than 10%. But what do I know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth is - only those inside the club who are privy to the info know - the rest of us can only speculate. The BOD are only human - a few mistakes this season (Stubbs and the trouble on the terracing, but turning around the Stubbs diddies and bringing in the current manager, squad and backroom staff has taken us up a level... hope they get the full reward by us staying up...

DumboBud Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 If as is looking likely we end up in the play offs and if as is possible we end up playing United. I think we should give United both the away stand and the family stand as I believe they could sell them both out and as we have already established through evidence and facts that increasing income is directly beneficial to the playing budget and that income maximisation is the only thing that we should be considering. I realise that this is a road to Damascus moment but having reread everything.... and I mean everything Bazil has posted I now see the error of my ways.

I think that has been my point all along, why deprive our supporters in favour of the opposition, but for some reason loads of boards apologists have been twisting and turning to justify it. If and it is only an if we are in the play offs and if it is against United. I believe the total crowd would be higher by giving them both stands. ST’s won’t be valid for this game so we wouldn’t be ‘moving’ anyone. Surely this is the type of scenario our board and their fans will be looking to be consistent in their outlook on. The fact the income goes to the league further adds to the argument that United having both ends would be good for Scottish football as a whole!

Ayrshire Saints Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Season Tickets will not be valid. Admission Prices will probably be around twenty pounds. We might win or lose first leg by 4 or 5 goals. Second leg could be irrelevant. Match will be live on the Telly. Given the 3 day turn around tickets will be sold long before the second leg. There will be more than 5k home fans, FACT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two "big" stands hold approx 5000, that will not be enough for home fans based on recent home crowds so again why would we deprive home fans in favour of away. I hate the two stands to the cheeks nonsense but I accept it isn't depriving home fans of a ticket. Your plan imo in a play off final 2nd leg would.
