John Smith muirinho Loafer Ate Club1871 continuing next season?
If so, I would like to see the P&L for this and expenditure, as on this cost of living crisis we cannot afford to spend on frivolous shit
The entire club is losing money - shut it down.
Club1871 is not "frivolous shit", it's an attempt to make going to football fun for a certain demographic. That's why we have different stands / areas with different vibes in each.
But yeah - the world revolves around Loafer, so anything they don't want is therefore expendable.
Such a pathetic attitude.
What happens if you share his opinion? Are we not allowed to disagree with something? The concept is pathetic and the defence of it that "only a handful of clubs would sell out" is not viable as it has been running for four seasons now which would amount to a whole season of revenue that we have lost out on. Pretty poor business just to keep a few kids happy, wouldn't you say?
Unsurprising that somebody that is being this deliberately obtuse has included a season and a half of a pandemic in their "4 seasons amounts to a whole season" calculation,
The family stand costs money
Pre-match entertainment for the kids costs money
The "music" before the game costs money
Mascots costs money
Reduced-cost tickets for pensioners costs money
Keeping season ticket prices low costs money
Apart from the last one - none of the above benefits me in the slightest. However you don't see me whinging on here every five minutes about it.
The club wants an atmosphere - Club 1871 has done a decent job of helping that atmosphere. As well as providing a place where people who like to stand all the time can go, without putting in on the people behind them, who don't
The arguments used to be "it won't work and it costs too much revenue"
Now it's "it works too well, and it costs too much revenue".
So ye were wrong about it not working, and you've got no idea of the revenue it may or may not be costing.
Club were very quick to ditch BlueCollar despite it being very popular - because it was costing them too much money. I think we can safely say if Club1871 was costing more than they thought it was worth, they would ditch it.
This isn't a "I'm not allowed to make an argument" situation. It's a "I'm angry that when I repeat the same nonsense I've been saying for 4 years, I'm being told it's nonsense" situation.
You can keep spouting the same bilge. And I can keep saying it's pathetic.
