Renewal.

[pass_and_move]

Interesting poll on bbs with regard to ST renewals next season .

Currently 50% are renewing but obviously 50% aren't .

If that poll stacks up then you are looking at 5k ST holders next season which is unprecedented since the mid 90's .

That equates to average crowds next season of around 7k and possibly 6k if we aren't pulling any trees up .

To be fair they haven't been voting in their hundreds. If I'm being honest ì think sales will plummet but not by the 50% as the survey is currently telling us.

I'd suggest around a 20 to 25% drop in sales which is still considerable. By my estimations that would end up near to 1 million pounds which is certainly a considerable loss in revenue. The loss of at least 6 million Television revenue is also to factor in.

I don't know what contracts the players are on but I hope they are variable pay wise as to which league we're operating in. When you consider the signings in the summer are all tied up to 3/4 year deals, there's a possibly that it could be on championship wages for the duration of their deals. If that's the case then we are gonna be in big big trouble financially.

A drop of 50% might make the owners consider cashing their chips in.
25% I think they'll stay.
