If the figures are acurate ish , then it looks like we should not be in with a chance of the play offs even, and that is if we push the boat out and go for a high end budget.

 

Its a big if, but if a reasonable number stay with MYFC over the medium term, do the team get the financial boost from MYFC after we get the payments out of the way ?

 

Income has to be boosted, just by checking for your insurance or house Insurance, MYFC gets over a pound at http://clkuk.tradedoubler.com/click?p=3431&a=1476338&g=17640

 

 

The figures quoted give us a large dose of financial reality. We are not the Chelsea of the conference, and it looks like the play offs would be a marvelous effort for next year.

I think he might have meant MyFC would end up having 15000 members next year, not new members joining. That would make more sense.

15,000 joining or rejoining. Splitting hairs, Wah Wah. The net income is still circa

Have you been to the Pirelli, Ed? Their banqueting facilities are amazing as is their general ability to generate non gate revenues. THAT'S how they compete and THAT's what we have got to aspire to. The sooner we get a new ground which can generate revenues other than gate receipts the better.

[kaizen]

Yes, have to agree - our on-field money making opportunities are severely limited - any extra income has to come from activities away from the pitch as Charles has just said. Stonebridge Road just ain't up to generating it. We NEED a new stadium as something of a priority if we are to even consider stepping up in the world.

Unless something drastically changed after the Club aquired Beauwaters(Bowaters)Sports Club, then that should have brought in outside revenue.
Dance Hall and Function Room with sports facilities, what happened to that?

that would have been much more preferable to the crap that you keep posting on both sides of the great divide...your figures are flawed and do not add up to anything like the unaudited accounts posted on MyFc to keep the plebbs happy...

its all too transparent wanchai and the pressure is mounting....you may well have 250k in the bank but its all accounted for and spent...and debt mounting at the rate of 35k per month....

now UU may not be the most reliable source on the planet (well I got most of it right so far and certainly flushed you out) but you are simply above it in space (or beneath it...)

brooks and the web team gorn missing (cor blimey) and refusing to answer questions on the cesspits and the arm waving gaelic john cleese (aka wanchai - lord wah wah - bagdad bob.. can't all be wrong can we...?) arrives to fck up every thread (especially the budget vote one) right on cue....do you think these members and fleet fans are stupid....?

(hopefully not as your application for the post of CEO will be an unmitigated disaster...)

yes or no will suffice but I won't hold my breath...

Using Fleet leisure during the week as a conference centre, lecture hall ,change the hall to banqueting hall. lay a coach on match days a couple pound a head to the ground and back to the club after the game, so that the club gets used more etc etc.

[American FLEET FAN No1]

Offer membership to locals(it used to have a five year waiting list), cheap beer(subsidise by the membership costs), get cabaret acts in on weekends. Hire out the Hall for weddings and functions..............Doesn't take a rocket scientist to run it at a profit..........Like Brian Fox did when he managed it for Bowaters!

As a side note Brian drinks in the Earl of Grey now. And his friend Les who used to do the raffles etc with him passed away.

I was a member at the Club for 28 years...........
