Gates for football have risen year on year across all divisions, especially since covid

11.000 back then in 91/92 the probably equate to 25 to 30000 plus in todays top flight as an average for home attendence in todays top flight ground allowing

Agree football was relatively still on its arse coming out the 80s when we went up. I?d like to think we could average 15k now in the champ.

When we were last in the top flight half our home game attendances were sub 10k and 6 were sub 8k.
Football has changed, I?d be disappointed with that many this season in the 4th tier.

I wouldnt bother too much about league 1 if I was you we aren?t going up anytime soon especially not with the current **** in charge.

yes i think that entirely possible - its limited to some extent by the capacity of the ground - as you make the biggest gates against big following teams -

The 27 million is as I understand it retained losses and these are passed from owner to owner. I assume in the UK it works the same as it does here in that in the staggering instance we make a profit those losses can be used to offset any tax owing to HMRC?

Am I right in saying the ?27 Million is the cumulative loss since the company formed? I haven't seen the balance sheet but presumably the loss is offset by loans or other financing?
If the club was sold, I guess the discussion would be how much of the ?27 Million would be written off?

Plenty of posters have already said that cumulative losses do not equal loans. The historical losses figure is not relevant. The loans are about ?17m from memory and all owed to related parties so no issues at all.

It will be interesting to see the accounts for the Year Ended 30th June 2025 in 12 months' time. As well as a full season of income from the NEST, they will also include a net profit of just under ?1m on transfer dealings in and out. I expect the loss for the year to dip below ?1m for the first time since 2015 (?997k). Could the unthinkable even happen, and we actually show a profit?
