another low gate....another beating
« on: January 29, 2013, 09:39:49 PM »
its astonishing how many games we manage to lose at clubs who have nowhere near the home crowds that BUFC attract....tonight at Alty is another classic example...561.....Somethings not right....our gate money and revenue far excedes most BSN clubs and we are struggling....theoretically we should be attracting,and paying,better players than we currently have.....it dont add up..

It's because you have poor management, poor players and mounting debts.

Players (or managers!)  wages don't always equal ability

72k ground rent, or 6k per month, or more simply 500 paying spectators, ( out of an average of 2 games per month)

Historical debts, ( run up in Mcfraud's era) being addressed by the current board, reduces current operating budgets.

Not be long before Boston are a force again. Until then bragging rights firmly in the North of the county

doesn't always add up. You have a quick peep at the crowds of FC United and you would easily assume they would have huge playing budgets butcourtesy of also having to pay a huge chunk of rent their budget is nowhere near wat you would think and they get bigger crowds than us
