Chesterfield set to reduce their season ticket prices by around 20%.... stay up or not

Unless I've got it wrong their chairman is owed £9 million and takes not a penny back from the club......you don't know how lucky you are.

25% for existing ST holders. Imagine that.

Think the posts above are missing the point. It's not about whether ticket prices are coming down.
It's about
A whether Chesterfield survive as a league team B it's about whether the owners and executives are taking out money from the club..they claim not C what happens to a team finances if they get relegated out of the league.
They have spent too much on attracting players who have not performed so far. The interview is a challenge to all of their players to get their finger out. Think that's what the Barnet manager did last week....

Interesting. Don't know what's been going on there, but they seem to have been splashing the cash around.
The guy comes across as a beaten character and one who recognises his and the board's failures and the distance that's grown between them and the fans. And all said with no hint of blame on the fans. Hmm!

Warning to those who want Fenty to put more money in to get better quality players.
The only 'success' we have had in many years was built upon a team ethic, a close knit group who were prepared to fight. At this level unity and attitude can take you far and with the right leadership can do so again for GTFC.
This is why for me it isn't about investment but about engagement and having a clear plan and ethos

I don't want JF to put in more money. I don't think we need to spend any more than we generate as we should have enough money coming in to compete given our fan base. Of course, if you get in the right management, they will be successful and crowds will increase, meaning more income to spend on players. As long as you don't over reach and only spend what you generate, there's no reason we can't have a good team based on team spirit, with a little talent thrown in. Hopefully, you would develop some players to sell on as well.
Going back to that interview with the guy from Chesterfield. Many psychologists would tell you he is lying through his teeth. He looks to the right and particularly up and right a lot. Some say this is the classic "tell" of a liar.

In fairness, the calls for Fenty to put his money in his pocked are generally in the minority.
I think most would rather we just spent our considerable resources (for this level) effectively.

Well its a mixture of both surely. We are in a very advantageous position - a good fan base for the level we are at so apparently generate sufficient income to make ends meet,but obviously we need investment to get the better players. If that new investment was part and parcel of a new beginning, a new ethos with the fans and the town right behind the club then the sky is the limit - to coin a phrase " nothing to stop us getting to the Championship in 5 years...." If we are a league club in three weeks time, we can hope that things start to change.

Didn't the friendly Spireite that came onto the forum the other week say something about their missing millions? They've raked in loads on transfer fees and sell on fees over the past couple of seasons and fingers have been pointing at the board as the fans wonder where it has all gone.

Ye most would rather see him walk away never to be seen again.

This.. I've been a follower of events in Chesterfield for a long while and I remember the threads on Bob's Board questioning not only where some pretty large receipts from transfers had gone but there was also issues around some big raffle the club ran. The fall out from that I believe resulted in threats of court action by the powers that be against individual posters on there effectively banning them from posting.

It would never happen on the Fishy Regarding Fenty putting more money in I think most posters have said a leaner meaner squad of better players would not cost anymore than the one we have now. I would like him to put another wedge in for his own past bad management but no way as a loan.

Was that the raffle where the advertised prize didn't actually exist and the person who was announced as being the winner was actually a made up name ?

You might very well say that Moosey. I couldn't possibly comment.

I don't think it's a coincidence that our 1998 glory season came after we splashed out £950k on Donovan, Groves, Black and Burnett.
With the two Wembley appearances and other cup runs we probably made that investment back in the same season.
Might be a lesson there.

But we received 1m for oster prior to splashing the cash.

If he isn't taking any money back from the club then surely that £9 million is a gift and as such isn't owed anything.

I think he means the chairman does not take a wage or dividends, I would suspect the 9 mil will be loans like most other chairman who put money in. I noticed he said the player budget for next season is going to be cut from 2.5 mil to less than 1 mil no matter what league they are in , a few on here would say thats a lack of ambition not sensible management of the club
