Charlton Athletic away...a classic ?

I’ve not really thought it through as will become apparent....but... That’s kind of why I suggested a youngster. Say I am thinking of buying a £350 season ticket but I know I can’t make any of the midweek games, it might not make economic sense, so I don’t bother. But I might be more inclined to do so if I thought it could be used by a kid who otherwise wouldnt be able to go. So you could give up your seat for that game to a kid on the proviso that the kid is accompanied by someone who would be buying a ticket. Needs some work...

They could but the sales wouldn’t count as revenue for P&S/FFP purposes as it is a connected transaction. It would be a donation effectively.

I wonder if there are some fans who cannot attend regularly but would be prepared to “pay it forward” for a youngster to have a complimentary ticket for a game ?

& that is why I got a Grade C in Maths & Stats ?‍♂️

Christmas comes early as Rovers manage to keep out a certain Stuart Ripley....

It shows how many haven’t been won over by Waggott persuasion...

It appears that those who can afford to buy are in effect being asked to make good the shortfall in income as a result of the likely reduced capacity. If you can’t get more in, charge those that can afford it even more. It’s entirely consistent with the approach taken over recent seasons regarding up selling existing season ticket holders into corporate type packages. With no prospect of lucrative away crowds any time soon, the home fans are having to dig deeper. I get the economics from the club’s perspective but fear that this might drive down season ticket holder numbers even more. It feels like a short term sticking plaster being applied to a long term broken limb...

I asked the guy who posts them how comes YouTube didn’t block it on copyright grounds & he said he tried a few songs until he found one that they allowed. Not big fans of Tom Petty at YouTube I presume...?

Shearer...no, not that one...

The latest episode of the Price of Football podcast covers this. Derby used accounting practices regarding depreciation that are forbidden by UEFA but weren’t explicitly forbidden by the EFL. The EFL rules are going to be changed to comply with UEFA & Derby will have to come in line. Essentially they were not writing down the values of players in their accounts on a straight line basis which means smaller deductions in the early years of a contract but it catches up with you eventually when that player’s contract ends or they are sold for less than book value. Derby were essentially kicking the can down the road. The stadium sale valuation has apparently been justified. Its location on Pride Park helps it here, a few years ago now granted, I was looking for commercial property to rent in & around Derby & rents in Pride Park were very high relatively given location, proximity to rail station & so on. So the EFL played a blinder here by not doing their homework & not detailing their rules adequately before challenging Derby. Derby’s lawyers did what they were paid to do by pointing it out & getting their client off the charges.
