Yep, of course if there are new revenue streams on top of ticket sales that might also accommodate the 12,000 break even figure. Just a shame that costs have risen so much, we could of used this new revenue stream and showed a nice profit on 12, 000 attendances or reducing the break even...

Theres no reason why a higher attendance figure could credibly be yanked out of the hat now, however you can decrease your overheads and still keep the 12 000 attendance figure in place to show a break even figure. There might be many overheads that could be reduced, but without impacting on...

I am not sure why some feel the club are to blame here. They of course will offer certain information at different time's to answer some of our concerns, but they might be battling to keep this project afloat at present. Who knows hopefully they might be sailing through this period with all...

Simply the lenders attitude to risk today is wholly different to their attitude to risk some moths ago.

They must push on and keep selling the plan to whoever is intrinsic for the Stadium to be built and more power to them for that. But I am sure they are finding it tougher by the day as banks and other lenders shy away from lending money to even the most professional of projects. It may also be...

Yeah I agree that every credible business plan has inbuilt scenarios, my only concern is that a few months ago these scenarios might of been seen as a reasonable risk for the lenders. Currently the alarm bells are ringing throughout the financial world and they aint to keen to part with any of...

All investors base their judgement on hypothetical calculation, thats the nature of their world. If they were unable to conclude a sales figure that they themselves were satisfied with, then they just wouldnt invest. You couldnt possibly expect anyone to 'invest' in any project without a...

Of course your right it is a highly flexible number, but it is however a very critical number. It will directly effect the credibility of any proposed forecasts, profitability and therefore the viabilty of the project.

Its a fair point, a little tweak of the business plan might be useful, however I would supsect that the club might struggle to convincingly increase the top lines, included attendances etc, so there might be an effort to decrease some of their expenses to allow their breakeven to still look...

I am sorry, the two are inextricably linked, irrespective of how the companies might be set up. There might be a number of companies formed as part of this project, but they will to a greater or lesser degree be interwoven and the banks know that and to some extent actually be party to those...

I hope that you are right. But the public funding element although hopefully safe and significant, wouldnt impact directly on the banking funding part of the project other than diminishing the amount needed to borrow, which of course is important. I would suspect that they couldn't secure any...

The premise is not too important as it just a recognition how the financial institutions are extremely risk averse at present and I cannot fathom why we would be insulated from this. Of course BHAFC and CSC is inextricably linked, who else is going to generate the main income for the whole...

No I havent followed the criteria. Sounds fascinating, however be it BHAFC or CSC the same financial obstacles remain. Investors and Companies by their very nature demands a return on their investments and in the current climate would still be as wary as banks are at present to either invest...

Look we are on the same side for this one but .................. At least a credible first time buyer is likely to have a clean credit record which could be looked at favourably within certain parameters. If the new buyer pays for a few years on their new mortgage, then at least history...

I genuinely hope that there are no problems and everything sails through and we get our shiny new stadium. But in the current climate when it seems impossible for anyone to raise £150,000 on a 1 bedroom flat, with repayments of £1000 a month, do you think the financial houses might be queuing...

Uneasy reading no doubt. But I hope that any decisions might be made in the longer term imagination of club and their supporters. If an uglier stadium has to be in place at any cost for the club to survive then we have no choice, but if it is just a set back ( a major one accepted ), would you...
