Wallsendmag Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 The same way he keeps the ticket prices low, one of the few ways to realistically boost income under FFFP. This is another little clique that has been used to brainwash people. Our ticket prices aren't low. Sure if you've got a bairn and don't mind sitting up in the gods there's a decent deal to be had but does anyone actually know how expensive standard 1 year season tickets are? Gallowgate/Leazes: £578 (£30.42 per game) East Stand/Milburn Paddocks: £710 (£37.36 per game) Leazes End, Sports Bar £724 (£38.10 per game) Milburn, Bar 1892: £819 (£43.10 per game) Milburn, Platinum Club: £924 (£48.63 per game) Season tickets certainly aren't cheap, especially considering the standard of football on display and the average wage of the area. For comparison sunderland season tickets are typically £200 cheaper, ie £370 behind the goals and £500 for a good seat along the side of the pitch.

sempuki Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I think the crowds might start off OK - new season optimism and all that but will drop off when we play shit which is bound to happen with Pardew in charge.

Like someone previously said, they actually don't reduce them that much, the decent seating areas in the ground are still at a higher price (which i have no issue about) i'd gladly pay £500/£600 to watch if there was some ambition. they just advertise the family area getting bigger, which after one season I jacked in as the view was shit and i nearly had a coronary walking up those stairs every other week. Even my 11 yr old son (at the time) said he didn't enjoy going anymore, buying him a season ticket was supposed to get him engrossed and have that feeling of belonging we all used to have once over.

Lad on FB posted it with him banging on about the 6% not renewing as though the club had lied massively. Fwiw they would have but he ignored that a fair few fans still pay each year hence the delayed deadline the other week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gleebals Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 In a number of years we have gone from having a very stable season ticket contingent with a massive waiting list to this, general sale and still the risk there will be 1000's unsold.

AlanSkÃrare Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Can't help but admire the job him and his little clique have done on brainwashing people into believing we simly can't compete financially. The constant drip drip drip propaganda the club pumps out has had a massive impact on the c***s too thick to see through it or question it. Spot on. I would bet that 'Denis Noble' (and all other ashley apologists) still believe he 'wiped our debts', but don't realise he loaned us £100m...the only person who benefited is him with taxes by loaning, in essence, himself £100m. That loan only increased when HE got us relegated and Barclays wouldn't support our £30million premier league overdraft in the championship so he had to inject £29million in cash to bump up the loan to £129 million. So he actually has us loaded with more debt than f shepherd, Denis. The only way he would have lost money is if he converted the debt to equity, in essence writing it off. Not a f*cking chance. I'd love to know where is all our income is going. Having only taken one payment off that debt, it seems he realises that if our debt is paid off then we will be one of the most saleable clubs in world football. If we aren't spending money on players then surely we should be paying off our debt to him as we keep hearing how profitable we are... The same way he keeps the ticket prices low, one of the few ways to realistically boost income under FFFP. Ironically some of those low ticket prices are in 'the biggest family section in england', right in the place where the singing section used to be before he ripped it out because they were signing about him, right next to the away fans who can sign almost unapposed as it's mostly bairns up there. To up ticket prices we'd need constant full houses, or at least a demand for season tickets by playing decent football, or at least attacking football or some ambition... ha ha who the f*ck am I kidding? Now this is more like the p*ss taking we're used to...the boys are back in toon...buy your season tickets... unless they get sold of course then our four best players are gone and no point coming as ben arfa won't play or any flair players at all should be next that * personally..... Why would he be paying it off? It's his main tool here. Their storyline is simple. We were on the verge of going bust, he saved us, took the debt upon himself and made it interest free to stoop us bleeding, he uses that fact as an argument to use all the advertising space for his personal interest. We can't compete with the big clubs about commercial deals as no one will offer us more than we owe Ashley (£8m/year). The end. Him taking that loan is no cost to him, I'm sure he's already been repaid in Sports Direct's growth over the period in which he's had it. Not that it matters, there's plenty of more money to make off this situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thenorthumbrian Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 United have made 17 million quid profit in transfers in the the last 5 years under Ashley. Where has all the money which has flooded into Newcastle over this period gone ? The club received 70 odd million from tv last year alone. http://transferleague.co.uk/league-tables/transfer-league-table-last-five-seasons.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest thenorthumbrian Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Only £17 million ? Thats over the last 5 years, here is a comparison table which shows that since 2007 when Ashley took over Newcastle have made nearly £36 million in transfer profits. He owes United fans. http://transferleague.co.uk/premiership-football-club-comparisons/premier-league-comparisons.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Not sure how that website is coming to those numbers. We're in profit by over £30m since Ashley look over, so that's close enough. But £17m in the last 5 years is far too low, think its more like £38m in those 5 years (we actually made a loss on transfers in his first couple of years, about £8m). Not that it matters, still £30m+ profit on transfers overall either way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
