The deal was constructed so that DW got a % of the gate, only after a base level of attendance was achieved. The base set was above that in our budget. So, in essence, if the team did well and the attendances grew over and above our budgeted numbers, then DW got a bonus- everyone should have been happy. Enjoy Port Vale tomorrow- not my favourite ground. Very decent people behind the scenes, but I remember getting really frustrated up there a couple of seasons ago, when we dominated the game and ended up losing a goal near the end, if my memory serves me correctly.

Cheers for clearing it up Mr D.
And I think you're thinking of 2004? We battered them but lost 1-0 to a Chris Birchall goal. A certain B Paynter played that day as well.

Thanks for clearing that up Mark D. Good to see you still follow the fortunes of STFC. Samdy: Think you are right, last time we played up there I think we drew 1-1. I seem to remember that being a late goal which Evans had no chance of saving. If we won that game we would have went above Bristol City. :roll: |

Sadly they wouldn't last.. Oh well that was then! This is now! Roll on tomorrow looking forward to it! |

now we know why the crowds dropped over the course of last season, dennis stopped forcing his mates to go. I'll bet he was upset we dropped the prices as well ! |

Everyone should have been happy Mark, but as we know, you spent all the money on fine Champagne for the players after training.  |

I don't see why people have a problem with the percentage clause - it sounds like a good incentive to do well. Nobody said it was something ridiculous like 10% of all gate receipts but people seemed to think he was taking all of our money!
