HarryBosch Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 3 hours ago, nzlatic said: As was pointed out on the podcast this week, our average attendance this season was mid table in the league, but budget was bottom 2 and we had an embargo we couldn't get out of. That says a lot regarding how our ticket sales affect playing budget. I've said for a while that we are where we are because (among other ineptitudes) they now don't care about losing/making money/revenue with OAFC (they probably still do with other interests). The loss of the EFL money will test this once & for all pretty quickly, far more than the stayaways did during most of this season, and I think matters will escalate in the next few weeks.

He’d prefer to slash the budget accordingly rather than understand why fans are turning their backs. He chose not to fix the route cause or he doesn't understand what it is - which is it? He does understand by the way, he just doesn't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joy of promotion, excitement of winning, moaning at defeat, all part of it. Leaving the League (even if temporarily but who knows) is a massive day in the club's history and , after 62 years of support, I want to be part of that experience too. It's a personal choice and I'm not criticizing anyone who boycotts, but I regard it as a question to myself. If after 62 years support, four promotions and , with this, five relegations, could I be at ease with not being there on a momentous day in Latics' history ? The answer is "no". This is not a momentous day in Latics' history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they don't lose the EFL money next season according to this. Quote The two clubs relegated from Sky Bet League 2 currently receive 50% of the equivalent Basic Award payment to League 2 clubs for one season, but from next season (2016/7) onwards will be paid: - 100% of the equivalent Basic Award payment made to League 2 clubs in the first year following relegation. - 50% of the equivalent Basic Award payment made to League 2 clubs in the second year following relegation (unless a club achieves promotion back to The Football League at the first attempt).

They've never made anything other than school-project-standard attempts to get supporters to spend money. They view the supporters with such contempt that I wouldn't be surprised if they're not arsed about the boycott. You've got to assume that the new boycott combined with the loss of EFL money has (finally) got to make it impossible for them to carry on, surely? Unless they're getting funding from elsewhere, of course.. Intrigued about the earlier "don't moan about the standard, if you're not putting money in" argument earlier. Whether we sell 10 season-tickets or 10,000 season tickets, these clowns will fuck it up, because they're egotistical, arrogant fools. Knock yourself out if you want to fund that sort of set-up. I won't be, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweeperKeeper Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Weirdly, it might turn out that the worst thing is that the Lemsagams are actually very rich - it makes it very hard for us to apply any pressure financially. If they are just choosing not to put their wealth in the club, it's hard to see how we can change their minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something that's crossed my mind, we could end up part time in the very near future as I cannot see Abdallah backing down, he will just cut the cloth accordingly and once parachute and solidarity payments dry up our budget could be amongst the worst in the National League if the club cannot attract a crowd over three or four thousand.

With no response, I'm just going to assume that there is no other half to the story, and move on. I really wish that the people supporting the current ownership would put up better arguments for why the club is better in their hands. The club has been dragged down by them.

I think it's a massive positive that people with a differing point of view come on a forum. But it would be a hell of a lot more constructive if they could back up that view with some rationale.

To be fair, I'd support his "free pie for every true and realistic fan at every home game" initiative. That's the most intelligent masterplan that I can see him and his minions conjuring up.
