Title: How many Town season ticket holders does it take to pay the CG rent? Post by: Combe Down on Friday, July 3, 2015, 05:34:46 Due to my obsession with Eastleigh FC, I read the following silly season story which prompted a question http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/33345436
The guy's connection with another traditionally non-League club says that they need 2,000 season ticket holders to pay the rent on their ground. What do you reckon the comparison is with STFC?

Listed in this article as £17,000 a month but also says Power was trying to renegotiate.

Does the Town End have that many ST holders?! But I know what you mean.
How do Poxford make up the shortfall in their ST numbers to pay their rent? I'd check who you're insured with! Title: Re: How many Town season ticket holders does it take to pay the CG rent?

A very dangerous place to be, with little to show for it, but Bormuff, were in considerably deeper doo doo, not long back and are now in the Prem.

No luck involved, just cash. Title: Re: How many Town season ticket holders does it take to pay the CG rent?

There were plenty in the Championship with more money than Bormuff, last season. Having some finance is doubtless important, but I doubt they'd have gone up without Howe...this is where they got lucky, as Howe got the job in the first place, by being the only fella left on the payroll, when they were on the verge of non-league. It's a shame that when he was sitting around on his arse here, doing nowt, somebody didn't think.....ohh potential great manager here.

Town End must hold 1500 so i'd say there are easily 500 - 600 season ticket holders in there. |
