Quoted from GollyGTFC


It wouldn't be. Season ticket sales were around the 2,500 sold / £550,000 mark this season. STHs would be entitled to refunds totalling around £120,000 if games were either cancelled or played without fans.

£120,000 is not going to make much difference to a club given that every season Fenty takes £200-250k out of the club to repay his "benign" loans, the PL have agreed to forward future solidarity payments for next season early and as soon as we're back the club can start selling season tickets for next season.

Remember also, the club has reduced running costs through the shutdown by furloughing all staff.

Belts will need to be tightened. Ex-Chairmen will have to wait to take further funds out of the club. But the clubs isn't in danger of going under in the short-medium term.

I think our club is well positioned to completely hibernate until further notice.  Our main liability is wages which has been taken care of quickly.  We don't pay any rent for our ground.  We're unlikely to be paying any tax this year.  The vast majority of our debt doesn't accrue interest and is highly flexible.  The only foreseeable costs are building maintenance and season ticket refunds which could be covered by emergency funds / further director loans if necessary.  

Other clubs might not have it so easy.  I'm glad that we're in a relatively secure position.

Thanks to Fenty, did I really say that

I understand a lot of the speculation has arisen mainly through boredom and the need to fill journalistic voids.

But it seems pointless really debating what's going to happen when we're in no real position to determine when and if any football can resume, never mind this season.

I've written off my season ticket purchase.  If I get a refund or discount on the next season, great.  But I can't say I've given it a lot of thought.  Not when people are dying or losing their livelihoods.

The season itself, does it really matter when it finishes?  If we don't finish it until December then so be it.  New season starts in March and runs until November, maybe that's a more suitable way to play the seasons in future, who knows?

Interesting article on the intricacies of sport resuming albeit in the US.

Perhaps the powers that be could realign the next couple of seasons to accommodate the world cup then get back to normal.
