Eastleigh at home Saturday

Quoted from forza ivano

Club tweeted earlier that theyve sold over 5300 for Eastleigh, and that's still with 48 hours of sales to go!


Just a thought on the finances. My guestimate is that they will have budgeted crowds of c.4000. If that were the case then you're looking at 4 home gates totalling over 22,000  instead of 16k. I suspect that will mean that 1878 have about £100,000 more in the coffers than they were expecting

Not sure it is as high as 4000. Think the budget is for 3000 or possibly 3500.

well, if you're correct 1878 are up by either 150k or possibly even 200k.
whilst we are on about finances i'd be fascinated to know what we are taking in merchandising compared to the last 4-5 seasons

my guess is that 1878 are well ahead of the game financially - not only on the above figures, but i've got a sneaking suspicion  that JSF wont be getting his full £1.5 million either

If the club have an extra 8k supporters over the original budget at an average of £12 per ticket which is £10 excluding VAT which equates to an additional net income of £80k for the club which would be enough to fund a new striker for the season

I’d be more interested in what the margin is on the Macron stuff versus the Erra range, that’s the thing that matters. The Macron designs feel a bit better in terms of look and quality but I know we’ve been short of home shirts due to shipping delays, overall I’m sure we’re selling more and will continue to do so.

The food and drink outlets are doing a bomb and the programmes are selling out too. It was like the aftermath of Glastonbury at the ground Wednesday morning. Discarded litter from food and drink sales everywhere.

Quoted from Rik e B

There's a special socially distanced section in the Main Stand for those that still fearful of covid Rob. Why don't you speak to the club about your predicament and see if can get moved into there?

Might be a bit cold during the night so take a good duvet. On the other hand the spare room at home might be a better bet.

I like what I'm reading but wonder, like the transfer deals, if Fenty gets his cash quicker if crowds reach a certain level. We don't know what is written into the sale agreement but we do know what he is capable of.

Stockwood has been very coy and very clever about what he and Pettit say and don’t say about the previous regime, yet a couple of weeks ago he mentioned 400k in youth money unaccounted for…I wouldn’t worry about the money Fenty believes he’s owed…I’m not convinced he’ll receive much more, or if he does it may find it’s way back…

It’s great to see a buzz and people talking about scrambling for tickets and buy merch etc…it really is a new dawn, results have helped but I really do think change in ownership and ethos of the club has helped…

No disrespect to you, but I believe this to be a FACT. Without the change it would have been more of the same and Hurst wouldn't be here nor most of this squad.
