Chris Heck - President of Business Operations

[Dogtanian]

Very interesting, so the talk of the long-term stadium plan being sacrificed for the short-term target was correct.

And judging from that, turnover this season is around the £270m mark, which would put us at 16th in the world.

If we do add another £50m on top, that would only move us up one place! Which puts it a bit into perspective.

Also interesting is the 5k hospitality tickets. No idea what the current figure is, but that sounds like it's going to be a massive help in increasing matchday revenue.

[Dogtanian]

What surprises me a little is his comment on 17 years to repay the New North... while that is true and certainly affects the club as a business, you have to look at it a little differently from a footballing perspective.

While the new stand may have taken 17 years to 'pay-off' as an investment, the point of it isn't to make a profit. It's effectively to convert money the owners can't currently spend on the team into matchday revenue that they can.

I'd take from this that any new developments are going to be after 2027 then, once the club has reached this 'sustainable' marker and we have more flexibility.

Well our hospitality package has been hit with a 110% price increase, so we won't be renewing it, and neither will all the people we've got to know around us.

Sorry to hear that, must be gutting.

[Risso]

Yeah, was expecting a biggish increase, but not more than double, the twat.

[Dogtanian]

That mean you won't be able to go any more? 

[chrisw1]

Are there more affordable versions that you could take instead?

[PeterWithe]

I know its a very well trodden path but the fans Heck is going all out to attract at the inconvenience of everyone else, are the ones most likely to bail at the first sign on returning to being shit and least likely to play a part in creating the sort of atmosphere that makes the PL so saleable around the world. And so pays all the bills. 

[PeterWithe]

Out of interest, are you offered a 'normal' ST ahead of the queue?

[DB]

I noticed he snook in a Saunders line in at the end of that article.

Nope!

That’s truly shit to increase by anything like that much….hate that like it or lump it approach to treating loyal customers

[Dogtanian]

I can't imagine what it would be like to suddenly not go. I wouldn't know what to do with myself.

[Nunkin1965]

Nope!

That's ridiculous 110%?
That's no way to treat loyal supporters.

[ChicagoLion]

Risso. That is ridiculous, I guess you will be able to do the GA+ option.
