is that we average around 13,000 crowds which is lower CCC. We want to get promoted and without checking other club's stats to accomplish this just looking at crowds we probably need in excess of 20,000 to fund it or additional revenue elsewhere.
From day one the owners have said the club will be run as a business so whilst they may be wealthy they have made it clear they will not be bank rolling us in a Chelseaesque type way. The club has been running at a significant loss for years so they have had to marry together making good this deficit whilst also trying to improve the team.
To the above ends the owners have in fact put in some money and also attracted some fantastic sponsorship deals which will have gone some way towards that happy time when hopefully the club will be self supporting. This is to their credit.
Due largely to their investment in players last January the squad in my view is significantly better but has been hit by injuries to arguably a few of our best players. Bring them back and a bit of stability and we will have been transformed from relegation candidates to a good CCC club. This is real progress and over a fairly short period of time.
What the owners have failed to do is win over the fanbase and encourage people to attend which is vital longterm. The now various ticket price fiascos, poor PR generally have left many fans feeling unloved for want of a better phrase. Sorry Flav but this is not good business. For your 'project' to work you need to remember that famous phrase 'the customer is king.'
