Villa Park Redevelopment

[ChicagoLion]

Don't forget, however minor the impact, the media act almost as PR companies for some clubs. One only has to look at the different approach with regards to injuries between clubs like ours and Spurs, the ridiculous "rags to riches" painting of Stockport City's treble last season and the tsunami of bullshit whenever Liverpool play at home. Attracting those "floating" fans is difficult but if someone is bigging you up every five minutes, it definitely helps.

This is something we can improve on.
Marketing, PR and Media relations is important and an area just like catering, merchandise and kit design we look decidedly amateurish.
We can’t even get the badge right.

Spurs figures look artificially inflated to me . Must have some good accountants

They take £1m in beer sales alone everytime they host the NFL.

i'd need to be pissed to watch that crap too

[Drummond]

It's still nowhere near £70 per head per game and critically, it's an absolute light year behind Spurs, who can afford another Diaby more than us, every year.

New ground please.

What do we do in the intervening ten years?

Squeeze the juice out folks with fancy watches *winky face*

And two boilers.

I bet they aren't boilers; if he's got plenty of dosh he'd be able to attract far more attractive women.

They share accountants with Trump I reckon

[brontebilly]

Deloitte, using one assumes the club's accounts, provide one number, but some really figure plucked from the air calculations by people on the internet say "Nah, reckon it's 5 times as much".

I know who I believe. It's almost as bad as when people, who are not engineers with a long history of working on projects like this, assure us it "wouldn't be too difficult" to implement whatever utterly hatstand idea they have for adding seats.

The history and credibility of audit "partners" like Deloitte might lead you to swing more towards randomers on the internet for your facts. They were the audit partner of the basket case FAI for over 20 years, for example.

Accountants cooking the books , surely not

If Spurs are making a lot of revenue from their catering, it's more likely to be accountants just booking the cooking.

Yes, that infamous brand of very good accountants who make it look like a company has more revenue than it actually does, thereby ensuring they pay more tax?

Sorry, I just allowed myself to get triggered by the notorious simpleton Cooper's Injury.

Deloitte / PWC both have form when it comes to massaging the numbers . As for high turnover relating to a high tax bill, anyone with half a brain will know there's plenty of avenues for avoiding the tax man.

To be fair, you probably have us beat on that score.

I'm sure I read that Spurs' new stadium has an on site brewery. So it'll cost to make the beer but they won't have to pay to transport it. This presumably equals more profit when they sell it on matchday.
