Dunfermline of course have taken some German investment, and I believe the German investment group intend to move to a majority 75% shareholding position in due course.
When it comes to football, history has taught me to be a glass half empty character. However, somehow I still think we can get promoted!!
the logic? No one else is winning games. We are capable of playing better whilst most of the others around us are not
now I know we have been honking , but I can’t see any of the potential teams that we would play that we couldn’t beat over two legs if we find just a little form and have the right attitude.
I will revert to glass half empty mode if they let me down over the next ten days. Surely Clyde will be knackered playing us after a run of sat tues thurs sat tues. surely that’s 3 points in a league of so many draws a few wins change everything.
Freezing ground - glad I am not there
They are a decent team with a good manager; club all pulls in same direction
That said, with the disparity in budgets, we really should be taking teams like this apart
Yes. He could be as important as Scott mcdonald was. But of course he has less time to make the same impact.
incredible that we are relying on a signing who seems to have been an afterthought!!
It’s a great team, all prepared to roll their sleeves up and work as hard as Danny Lennon in midfield! Plenty work ahead! Thanks everyone for your support so far.
So let me get this right.
they get paid 500k and asked whether they want to keep playing, despite the higher amount being to justify all their additional testing costs etc.
we (and others) get 150k and compelled to stop playing
i understand football is the ultimate meritocracy, but that just seems completely baffling and wrong
League 1 average attendance last season - 1148
Assume average spend on tickets and MARGIN on pies bovrils etc - £20 per head
Less Vat
multiply by 18 home games in League
That's an average total of £344k
Money received 200k
However average is pulled up greatly by Falkirk attendances (if we instead look at Dumbarton in isolation, the amount is £199k for example). Perhaps at weekend I will do a calculation for each club
This ignores the positive impact of the fact season ticketholders have still paid, live stream revenues, furlough, and not having the costs of games to put on, whilst ignoring the negative admitedly of lost hospitality MARGIN
Conclusion : for most of the clubs in the division, £200k of funding should leave them in a similar position to what they would have been, with notable exceptions being Falkirk and ourselves, and to a lesser extent Airdrie. For these clubs the proportion of season ticket sales to total attendances is a key factor in how badly impacted the three clubs will be.
So in answer to your question AJ, I agree.
I don't think its as simple as just looking at attendances.
Should it not be Average attendance LESS season ticket holders.
Therefore the teams most reliant on pay at the gate would do best in the distribution.
This is on the assumption most clubs season tickets numbers have been impacted to a small but similar percentage.
Drop me a pm if you want any more details, but the ultimate timeline is dependent upon the finalisation of colin weir’s estate, a matter outwith the control of either the working group, or three black cats
We are confident the jags foundation will be ready and able to accept the shares at that point as a robust membership organisation
