losesome Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) Nice bonus on Saturday with Carlisle expecting to bring 4000 fans. Instead of the usual 400 / 500 we can expect an extra £70k + in gate money. Lets hope it's used to keep Lee or Simpson next season !!!!!!!! Or will it just go towards this years losses ????

laticdickovarmy Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) If all 4,000 were adults (which it would be of course) it would be £88,000 that would give us without even thinking of sales of programmes, food etc I really hope that Stevenage or Mk Mongs win play-offs as it wouldnt hit out gate as much as one Sheff sides, Carlise or Hudds Edited April 30, 2012 by laticdickovarmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not all additional money though as we would have budget for Carlisle bringing their usual numbers probably somewhere between 500-800 I would guess.

bossrocks Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 What are the chances of Carlisle fans outnumbering us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossrocks Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) A mate at work's mrs is a Carlisle fan. Apparently she was told at their ticket office they only had 200 left! I assume this was of an initial allocation (maybe small section) rather than the whole stand. Edited April 30, 2012 by bossrocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume this was of an initial allocation (maybe small section) rather than the whole stand. What are then chances of them outnumbering us? I'm sure i read their initial allocation was 3000............Hope lukers1 doesn't take my route home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsslatic Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Also, well done to Latics' foresight of collapsing from 3-0 up in order to facilitate such a payday. The plan worked to perfection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 If Carlisle bring 4000 Im gonna run naked all the way home from the end of my front steps, more like 2500 FIFY No way you are going to bail out if it is 3,750 either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukers1 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 FIFY No way you are going to bail out if it is 3,750 either! In my politician mode I said 4000, if they bring 4001 then be prepared to see twigs and berries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Heck C-Beck Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I am pretty sure they can muster up a large following - they are better supported than we are and I think we could even get close to 4000 away following if the situation was reversed.

laticsrblue Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) To put this in context, even if we make £60.000ish out of it, that's only equal to about 170 season tickets. So on the plus side it'll make up for some of the inevitable loss of supporters on the ST front but no way is it going to affect next season's budget.

Monty Burns Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 yeah but why? Carlisle fans can have a beer and they can see the whole pitch, so they should pay more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having that, if they bring 4001 then they have brought also 4000 and we will insist on seeing the full threepiece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
