mrmojorisin75 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 1 hour ago, Unbelievable said: Had a quite surreal 15 minutes reading that true-faith article on their finances, then the RTG thread where they all laughed it off and their financial guru pitched in saying their finances are better than most other clubs and he's not at all worried, only to then continue to read the thread where they are all claiming their refunds and complaining how much the online season pass cost. They still don't seem to understand that the primary reason they are a League One club is that their income is far below their cost level and that is in no small part down to them not pulling their weight. They will continue to sink further until they find another Ellis Short willing to plough in millions upon millions to fund their overspending. Sadly for them their new owner has already said he plans to run them roughly within their own means, and in either case his hands are tight by FFP, so it will be interesting to see it all fall apart again when debts start mounting and the fans turn on him for not bluntly investing his way out of it. They're on a downward spiral with seemingly no way out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 21,000 season tickets sold is very impressive mind. Do we reckon season ticket sales will be up across the board given how much people will just be wanting to return to football? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantail Breeze Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 21k tickets in League One would be impressive for anyone, us included. The fact it’s their fourth consecutive season there is more impressive. That said, their blind faith has been one of their biggest issues. Although they’re going into a new season with a new regime so they’re right to give it every chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs obviously keep fans at quite an arms length generally. Shame it was obvious to absolutely everyone they were absolute chancers but I don't blame them for going along with that particular event myself.
