Plenty of talk of investment from Ben and Simon. I don't know how the football club is structured these days and so does that mean they want another investor? Is it to do with the new development? Who do they want money from and for what?
Also, I think some lost sight of the fact this is an investment for us all. Brilliant we have 8500 ST holders, but how many have signed up for the members scheme and are we making it attractive enough for fans to come on the day. Also has anything been done to give away fans more tickets? An extra 1000 away fans for the big games is in effect £20,000 a game and we have at least a dozen of those games this season which is an extra quarter of a million - not to be sniffed at.
One final thought, how much of the stadium is now leased out and do we use the stadium to it's maximum revenue potential. Should we be looking next season at a fortnight of concerts? Has Lytham Festival rained on that parade now?
Clearly financially we're in a 'fragile' position and can't keep relying on a 7 figure sum from Simon each season and so it's interesting to see how/where that money comes from.
