There are so many stewards standing around doing nothing! Get rid!

How many stewards fired equals £8 million saved? An awful lot, I'm guessing.

I don't understand why the club had to fund the no-parking zone in Coldean. If the council don't want fans to park a couple of miles from the ground then they should do something about it themselves. It's almost as if the council is using the planning permission to blackmail the club into funding whatever scheme they think up next, I'm surprised the club wasn't asked to pay for the cycle lane on Lewes Road as some fans may use it on match days!

Here's a start....potatoes aren't that expensive. Cut some up, fry them and charge £2.50 for twice as many as you get now (still over £2 a portion profit) By the end of the season they'll make more than taking the pizz by thinking we are so gullible we'll pay over the odds evermore for overpriced poo.
Actually you could be onto something there. If you want to leave early you have to pay £5, (plus obviously a £1 admin fee). The club have regretfully brought this charge in due to Health and Safety regulations as they need extra stewards to ensure your safe exit from the stadium whilst the match is still in progress. If you have to leave early every game why not take advantage of our competitively-priced 'Early Doors' scheme? For only £90 (plus £2.50 booking fee) you can buy a pass that allows you to leave every game early! Plus as a bonus it entitles you to a massive 5% discount in the club shop on Wednesday afternoons on certain selected items.

Offer shares in the club to the fans who can then vote for an individual to represent them on the board.
Er... they do. Well, they contributed to a £2.2m pot, along with the two universities.

I agree about the Coldean/Moulsecoomb contribution - that's a big whack to hang over us every season

Personally i would not be that worried.
Last year was the final year without FFP. This was the year to maximise losses.
This season clubs in the Championship can run at a loss again of 8 million as a maximum.
Last seasons 8 million loss would have included all of Ulloas fee and signing on fee as well as bridges wages, and vicentes both who cost the club a fair bit (prob at least 1 million over the course of the season).
If the club can increase revenue (chips at 280 will do this lol) then the club eill be doing fine. Unlike a lot of clubs in the Championship our debt is to 1 man only who is not charging interest.
In conclusion there is likely to be money availible for 3-4 players even if they are on loan with maybe 1 signing if a decent quality.

Does the club actually get extra money if we eat and drink more? It's always been assumed this was the case but does the profit go to the club or the caterers? I've never seen a breakdown, anyone know?

It would be percentage based in terms of food.
FFP in essence is meant to help the clubs run as a business. People may dislike Barber on here but clubs won t get an easy ride anymore and he is the one who has to ensure we keep in the guidelines.
Sure we would love to sign some players an blow a huge load of cash but not at the expense of having points deducted or other sanctions imposed.

One man only who has pumped over 130 million into a capital project and was expecting it to self finance,which its a long way short of dong,the fair play thing will not solve anything in fact we will be punished for the expected loss.What happens when bloom gets fed up keeping us afloat? The income this season could well be the peak without promotion. American owners next

No chance.
I don't like the idea of TB being "short of dong" btw. No one wants that rumour getting around.

We must get out of this tb has magic powers and a golden goose at home,he came in because the banks went jittery,it was an interest free loan,he was not going to fleece us but he did not ever say he would bank roll us. The accumulative loss over 3 seasons will be around 25 million far above the input by anyone else in this club,eggs in one basket.I don't get alot wrong and had poyet sussed while the rest wanted his baby.
The fans will have to be flexible regarding transport to make this club solvent( sacking stewards and selling chips will not do it)
Yes, everyone thinks the club gets a percentage but does anyone know? And what percentage? There's a big difference between 5% and 50%

it was nearer 5% last season
