Quick question re Finance

Not sure if anyone has delved into this a great deal, so here goes.

In your promotion season (2011/12), your average attendance was 17,428 compared to our miserley 12,438 figure, yet your turnover was £8.5M compared to our £11.8M. Obviously being a League above you at the time would have generated a bit more from the Football League Pool, but not to that extent - were your tickets dirt cheap in League 1 or is there a massive hole in those figures?

 

There is a massive hole in your defence, I know that much

 

Our prices were certainly cheaper than yours TC. I recall a Millwall mate telling me that you were paying between a fiver and a tenner more for tickets than we did in our league 1 season and I think our STs are cheaper than yours ((read that somewhere a while ago so apologies if my memory is playing tricks)

 

Indeed - but not when we play you

 

We still have the fixture at the Den to come, don't count your chickens

 

Well in the last 80 years you have beaten us 6 times in 45 League games (1 in every 7.5 games) so you are due a win

 

TC, Championship is worth £5m more in league and TV payments than L1

 

Not in 2011/12 it weren't mate - Championship clubs only received £2.3M each from the Solidairty deal as opposed to £360k League 1 clubs received

 

Any news on your next manager ?

The bookies make it a toss up between Iain Dowie & Michael Appleton.

 

Bircham and Warnock are the favoutites - over 100 applications apparently (including Markus Babel, Steve Clarridge, the legend that is Super Kevin Muscat, Gary Megson and O'Driscoll)

 

Didn't Warnock say he wasn't willing to work down south again?

I'd go with Claridge

I'd say we were saving that money to keep sordell's ego afloat in the future !
