There’s a difference with sustaining it in the league to one off cup games. Worcester bettered us a few years back. They’d have had no chance of finishing above us in the leagueMid table we competed with Birmingham with ease and should have won both legs, with a few improvements I think mid table would be a good 1st season back, don't want to nevers and pressure of a relegation battle.
Very true was at the game was a embarassment. I think with a good investment we will easily be midtable.There’s a difference with sustaining it in the league to one off cup games. Worcester bettered us a few years back. They’d have had no chance of finishing above us in the league
So you’re back supporting the club now then?Playing out of the city will result in us going straight back down. How can we possibly compete?
Both businesses lost money last season it would be remiss of them to do so next season. Think both will play hardball though. Funnily enough businesses agree mutually beneficial agreements in spite of no end of disputes etc. There’s a deal to be done and lots of money for both parties to makeIm holding out hope the state aid complaint gets resolved before Covid does. I honestly can’t see any other way forward happening.
Will the fact that there will likely be no gate receipts for all clubs be a bit of a leveller in terms of budgets?
Until you multiply the 400k by 23 and get £10mI think people are massively overestimating the impact of gate receipts on the playing budget.
If we get 20,000 fans a season and it averages around 20 quid a ticket (including season tickets) that's 400k in turnover.
Average losses are around 20m-30m a year in the championship. LOSSES. That's after the 6m or whatever it is expected TV revenues.
Gate receipts are a drop in the ocean.

hahahahaha fuck sake. I'll see myself out.Until you multiply the 400k by 23 and get £10m
Play offs. Few quality signings, great team spirit in the squad, coupled with most teams needing to trim squads and face point deductions, could be the perfect storm.
Provocative point, but was talking to my Dad last night and we both agreed that promotion next season wouldn't be great for the club. We'd be destroyed in the premier league without time to develop a squad. That said i won't turn it down if we do get there haha.
promotion would be amazing for the club. with sensible spending, would set us up for years. The income dwarfs any revenues from match day beers and non match day functions
First read that and had images of Oompah-Loompah type creatures in pinstripe suits obsessed with money rather than chocolate. Or the Gringotts goblins from Harry Potter.
Agreed. Look at how Luton have faired, after a previous season where they , at times, ran away with League 1.For any promoted team in the history of competitive football the aim is to avoid relegation. Once you have achieved that you try and kick on.....
interesting, most on here, so far have more or less intimated that staying in the league would be a base to make further progress the following season but we know the reality is that we will lose a substantial number of games and the support for robins will waver. it really should not waver. just think back to how hopeless we were pre robins.The one thing I am absolutely dreading is the helmets on here who will inevitably call for Robins to go if we have a shaky start. If after 10 games were in the bottom 3 you know it’s coming.
not really sure of the background but sheff utd somehow finished 10 in their first season and followed up with promotion. that is the dream.
