RobOAFC Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Last published accounts showed we made £8,000 profit didn't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100milesaway Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Just because they get far better crowds than us doesn't automatically mean that we lose more money than them.I suspect that our club is better run than Oxford, plus we have had some decent pay days from recent cup/tv games. I think SC runs a tight ship, and is not prepared to let us spend money that we do not have. I would be amazed if we were losing as much money as Oxford.

Diego_Sideburns Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Last season In the rarely-wrong Chron, Simon Corney spelt out the possible financial benefits to The Club from the two cup runs. http://www.oldham-ch...field-of-dreams Corney warned that beating Southend in the replay, in addition to making it to Wembley for the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy final, would only take care of just over half of the club’s potential losses this year. “We made £140,000 from the Everton game,” Corney added. “So looking at it, there may be a few more in attendance at Liverpool which could take it up to around £180,000. It is not quite the half-million jackpot some might think it is. “Similarly with the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy, we make nothing until and unless we make the final. If we manage both, then that would probably make us £600,000, which would be great. But that is against a shortfall this year which is in excess of £1million.

ghostofcecere Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I thought the last set of accounts showed an operating profit of £40K. I would imagine the last time we made a profit was the 'pinch me' years. People conveniently forget the positive effect Mr Corney has had on the running of the club behind the scenes.
