I have stayed well clear of the financial debate so far, as a) I don't understand a lot of it and b) it strikes me that most people on here don't understand a lot of it but post regardless which just makes it all even more confusing.
But in REALLY simplistic terms, doesn't it stake up like this;
£400K rent at Ricoh over 5 years = £2M
Gate receipts, say 10,000 x say £15 x say 27 games over 5 years = £20.25M
Net £18.25M
versus
Say £100K rent at Northampton over 5 years = £500K
Gate receipts, say 3,000 x £15 x 27 games over 5 years = £6.075M
Net £5.575M
Not to mention the generation of fans lost, the reduced sponsorship, the reduced merchandise etc.
And not to mention the FFP rules that will hamstring us meaning we will almost certainly be a Div 4 club in the next year or 2 leading to even smaller crowds, sponsorship, merchandise...
What am I not getting?...
