Our recruits haven't kicked a ball in anger yet so it's impossible to judge them in training games and that's all these friendly games are gloryfied training sessions.
Hope these dropped points in pre season doesn't bite us towards the end of the season. Christ it's going to be a belter on this forum over the season if your all crying over games that mean nowt.
Surely no one gives a :censored:e about pre season friendlies? Nothing more than gloryfied training sessions. Any game you can make 10 subs should be played behind closed doors.
Revenue but like you say by the time you've taken all the other things into consideration it wouldn't leave you the £300k but it wouldn't "only be a few grand" either.
Probably why I paint walls for a living then but Stockport down the road used to do em and financially it made them around £300k year so why couldn't we match or better that?
Charles Hawtrey styled ooooooh* there. Equates to "...a few grand" at best, doesn't it? Depends what "dinners" means. Now I'm no financial expert but if the club put on just one sportsmans dinner a week all year round that could potentially net the OEC over £500k a year which is £500k they didn't have last year.
I'm sure I've read somewhere that club events on non match days such as meetings and dinners and stuff like that goes as revenue to the OEC, surely if the commercial side of the club stick 40 sportsman dinners on a year that goes down as revenue to the club? It does everywhere else anyhow.
Where has it been said that the club receive money from the stand one day a week? Club events put on at the OEC goes as revenue to the club doesn't it? Sportsman dinners and the like can bring in a fair bit of revenue in on non match days which would still go as revenue to the club unless I'm mistaken.
Lets not forget the Lee Johnson legacy was bringing 1.6 million to the club through selling Jch,Tarky,Baxter and Smith. When sheff united released Baxter the other week there was a story in the local rag saying they bought him for £500k.
No but some tool trying to put £2000 has put him short odds. Oddschecker should do a Sheridan outright market odds on with Leeds, he won't be far off being fav for the next Sheff Wednesday manager gig.
Stephens stuck the ball out for a throwing early on in the game and somehow the ref gave a free kick god knows what for so he had absolute no chance when it came to that challenge with Mike Dean.
