I really am puzzled by all this. The figures just DO NOT add up. If the club can make £500 thousand pound profit a year from the OEC then Blitz is a business man and would have done it himself . All the major banks would be queuing up to lend you the £7 Million pound you required to purchase the ground OEC and all the land. Numerous entrepreneurs and wealthy landlords would be queuing up for something that returns full value in 14 years as an ongoing asset. Even better when one of the directors owns the company that is going to build the houses on the land................ seems like a massive conflict of interest to me. To me it just seems like its all wishful thinking

Good Question. I have been a 100 club member with 2 season tickets every season since its inception. At the moment no one can tell me where my £750 per 100 club season ticket is going are OAFC receiving it or the OEC ? for a standard I do not want to pay £280 to the football club in one payment as listening to all the rumours the season ticket money received for the season has all ready been spent. I would rather pay £25.00 per game and sit in the main stand as at least I know that money will go to the club. Also hopefully paying on the day will add to the cash flow of OAFC and cannot be spent until I have paid to attend a game. Just my thoughts even though I know personally if I buy a season ticket it works out at roughly £11.00 per game as opposed to £25 I hope this might assist the club..................... .

As the season is fast approaching as we all know things are not great. We seem to all be bickering about numerous things the manager, the players , were the money goes. he said she said what if ect ect. Despite for the first time in years I have as yet not bought a new season ticket. I will be attending every home game cheering on and supporting who ever pulls on that blue shirt. As I have since my grandad took me in 1967 . Because that's what we all do its in the blood. Lets try and enjoy the season in what ever direction it sends us. COME ON YOU BLUES................................................................

More like........ hardly any tickets have been bought. Anyone know who we are playing on Tuesday then ?. (Bolton if their buy out happens ?. ).

Not factually Correct.what was left after the OEC charges OAFC got. Which in the case of my 100 club season tickets was not very much. Do you honestly believe that Blitz took no money from the club on match days. For most of the time up until recently that was the OECs only revenue stream. As I have said Previously I will support my Team first OAFC not the OEC.

Not really there are always way more than 100 people in the OEC stand. Also there are all the executive boxes and there food . I will always support my Team first. I want OAFC to benefit from the tickets and Food and drinks I purchase not the OEC. Just my take on things.

The figures all added up to me. There was no way OAFC where making any money from my 100 Club season tickets. however with the drinks I purchased and the counter charge To OAFC I am sure the OEC where making a profit. I take your point on staff, however OAFC have staff and overheads at there food outlets would you be happy paying £12.75 for a pie and a few peas ?

Just my humble opinion. I have had two 100 club tickets in the Joe Royle (OEC) stand from day one. After being shown some figures by the club it was clearly apparent the club where actually making next to nothing from my two season tickets. As an example the OEC where charging OAFC £12.75 per head for the food normally Pie and peas or a burger. I think we can all agree this is rather excessive whether a super Chef made it or not. There has to be some common ground but surely as fans we want OAFC to make some profit on our tickets and bar sales not to line the OEC peoples pockets. I have not renewed my tickets for this season due to this ongoing issue. However I will be supporting my team on a pay on the day basis and will be purchasing my drinks and food from an OAFC outlet. I have no axe to grind with anyone, but whether we like it or not Al as come into a club that as financially struggled for years. The least I can do as a supporter is try and make sure the money I spend goes into the club and not line the pockets of OEC and its owners whoever they may be...... As a group we are strong fragmented we are weak.....

As a 100 club member the latest update I had was:- No deal has yet been done with OEC.. I can purchase a season ticket just for my padded seat. But will not be allowed to use the facilities in the OEC. At the moment I have declined to purchase my two 100 club padded seats.

Missolou.

Team flying out tomorrow.............................

As Simon Corney once said to me Do you know John, the problem with some of our players is they like being professional footballers with all the benefits and kudos it brings ................... but they don't actually like playing football..........................
