There’s plenty out there

Just listened to the owner interview .

From George – Pitch was big project with new drainage, new sprinkler system . 10 year guarantee with hybrid surface. Hope to generate extra income from pitch. New groundsman taken on. Currently no chairperson of the community interest company that own the ground. We’ve still use of the car park for next 12 months.
Not generating enough money so still making a loss but success on the pitch will hopefully improve that.
From Michelle – Lee Collison brings financial experience. EFL loan still over £1 million. EFL want club to sign up to a wage cap but Michelle says they won’t be doing that. Playing budget increased from last season by about 20% which makes us mid table compared to rest of NL. Season ticket sales up from last season. Some kind of joint club open day combined with British Steel gala planned for this summer.
Fanzone coming sometime this year.
Sad that Roberts went but understandable.
Disappointed that Ewing went to club in same league, Michelle negotiated a sell on clause if he leaves FGR. Club won’t stand in any players way.
Possible ladies team of some sort. Academy is too expensive until we are in EFL.

Pretty good summary TJO. Covers all the main points I remember.

Wish I’d saved 30 minutes of my life and just read that.

TJO nice to cut to the chase with your update.

Extra income from the pitch? Surely that’s gonna be peanuts in the grand scheme of things.
Nice that they are putting things on in the summer gala etc but doubt that will be bringing in much coppers to the pot.

Should keep the low season ticket prices throughout the summer and not just till end of May.

So the 20% increase in player budget guess this will just add to the loan

I think they are hoping teams like Hull and Leeds might use it for their U21/reserve team matches but I might have misunderstood.

“Club won’t stand in any players way.”

Oh dear.
Where have we heard THAT excuse before?

It’s also a way of saying “ we can’t afford to keep him if he’s offered money we can’t afford “, which TBF is usually the reason they leave.

TJO yes have venues already Leeds at Yorks ground and Whetherby, Hull play at north ferriby and the MKM stadium.
And surely you can’t hire the pitch out for than than a couple of hundred quid at best.
