I think he has a point. I love seeing our club run sustainably, but I did think that our attendances, prices and player sales would add up to a rather bigger budget than seems to be the case. Are we still paying Power back, or is the money being ploughed into long-term projects like the training-ground? If so, when can we expect to see a significant budget increase?
History tells us that even in a good play off year, wages would have to be about £2m to break even, without any exceptional revenue or player sales.

I thought wages were quite a bit sub £2m? heresay rather than fact mind.
in any case if we are only breaking even one assumes that other clubs must be being bankrolled . frustrating but until we get a multi billionaire owner...

I thought I heard £2.1m but could be wrong.

Ha OK, well who knows. Mine was from a vague Terry Cooper quote memory I did find the Mail saying £1.5M, but that doesn't make it fact(!) and things may have changed anyway http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3098095/Swindon-manager-Mark-Cooper-having-sleepless-nights-League-One-play-defeat-expects-club-learn-lesson.html edit: Confirmed by Power as £1.8m in July 2014, and whilst we have Ajose, we have shifted a few higher PDC earners since then, so I wouldn't be surprised if £1.5 was the start of season budget. Whether we stuck to it with the loans/loan fees who knows: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/28146583

Anyone got a son/daughter changing age category this year? The online ticketing system seems not to recognise my son's DOB making him change from U11->U18, its offering U11.
I've banged an email off, just wondered if anyone had resolved a similar issue..Forgot we had a game tomorrow - should have gone into the office.

Once a club starts doing it it's difficult not to be tied in to these dates on a continued cycle.

anyone know what the state of play is with the Nationwide deal? my other half starts a job there as of April and was thinking that if the sponsor deal where employees get two tickets to each home game for a tenner each, its going to save me a few quid.

Don't recall it being 2 tickets for £10 - maybe wrong though it was discounted tickets but not to £5 a ticket, I'd be surprised

I think they get an offer on certain games, not every game. Pretty sure Honda have the same deal too.

Well, that's a cracking deal for Nationwide employees and it's disappointing our attendances are still pretty average. 6,500 there Tuesday night.
