I thought it was mickjagger that did the puns on here. We’ve little evidence of these monies in terms of pitch maintenance or improvements to the training facilities though. I guess anything that has been received has gone towards general running costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midsblue Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 If the ground and north stand is still owned by Blitz and I had the money then I'd relocate the club. Smaller stadium, new pitch and all off-field income coming directly back to the club. If AL ploughed millions into the side and we achieved promotion then the stands would benefit directly - why should they if not owned by the club?!

Plus, i’d wager there asking price would go up if AL sought to buy it off them. I dread to think what they’d want if ever we got to the premier league. . ?

Mind you their is making plans and then executing them properly, and we have had a decade and a half of false dawns in that department.

I would still like a move away from BP and believe it could happen, however, a smaller stadium?? That would be akin to the club settling at our current level. The club & fans have to have an ambition to reach the Championship otherwise what is the point. With the likes of Bolton, Blackburn, Wigan, Preston, Sheffield Wed, Sheffield Utd and Leeds. A 9 or 10,000 capacity stadium would definitely not be big enough. Edited February 23, 2018 by oafc1955 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For varying reasons I think you’ll find both clubs are not too content with current attendances, however, Bournemouth have rich owners and a little contribution from a SKY to help out whereas Burton are chugging towards relegation!

Exactly, it's a bigger stadium we need not a smaller one. Rotherham really suffered in the Championship with their small stadium. There must have been thousands of Leeds, Sheffield Utd/Wed, Forest, Derby, Preston, Barnsley and Newcastle fans who would have gone had they been able to, and no doubt some got into the home areas which would have needed extra police and their charges.

So if we are looking at a template shouldnt Bournemouth be the one?

Brighton were regularly posting £20-£25m losses even with a brand new stadium getting 25000 plus average. Realistically to get us into the PL would require someone prepared to burn a 9 figure sum.

Getting a proper playing surface in place for the long term? Refurbing any or all of the three older stands? Negotiating a deal to gain control of the North stand? Appointing an experienced set of directors? What else? The original post in this thread, just over three years ago. All questions still valid....

It will have hit them hard The TV deal was making up around 90% of their turnover. The parachute payments will soften the landing a little but by the looks of it they pressed the reset button. They have sold off alot of the high earning staff and replaced them with people on significantly less probably plus alot of other non playing staff have lost their jobs. It's a big restructuring they will still make a significant Loss and shows how precarious the drop off between PL and championship is. Bournemouth could go from a circa £150 million turnover business into a circa £5-10 million business in about 3 years. Not many businesses would survive that.
