Ok-so very rough figures. I know that some fans still boycott the food/beer at the Stadium. But, lets say bottom line profit is £800k - lets take out £500k for rent/service charge, that leaves £300k - now we have 28 home games per season; Kassam takes all revenue from the ground/bar. Caterers are charged a fixed rent for the season, so that match-day revenue is fixed. We aren't even including Stadco revenue for non match-days. The point I'm trying to make is that if non-match-day funds go back to the trust, say £200k we are only left with £100k which has beengenerated on match-days through the season. That's not a lot left in the pot Also, the club will only benefit from revenue at a maximum of 30 days a year. Even if fans start using the bars on match-days and the rent is reduced, with the non-match-day revenue being used to run the stadium, up-keep, etc, I'm still not sure this will be enough to even make a dent. I know my figures are lose to say the least, but even with FK maximizing margins on beer (this will surely be lower under a trust) the match-day revenue, although a welcome revenue stream, is very low. With the trust needing to take the non-match-day for running costs, I'm not sure how this stacks up? Budget into that the significant amount needed to sort out the pitch once and for all. I hope they've budgeted for that.
