ticket prices

[deantaberner]

Has anybody wondered how macc town can charge 14quid for their matchday tickets, get a smaller crowd than us and still not be as much in the financial mess that we have found ourselves in?

 

Are our players paid a lot more than macc players would you say?

 

I know the obvious answer is that they haven't got a miller and deakin problem but what do you lads think?

[Tosh]

Didn't Macc offer Tom Pope more money than us?

[The Wonder of You]

simple financial management, spend less than you earn!

[Fosse69]

No skimming? Fewer admin, unpaid chairman, etc

We had financial problems well before Miller and Deakin, so the answer must lie elsewhere - with the mismanagement of the previous Board....and not least, the sainted William Amos.....

 

It's also possible that Macc's directors actually invested significant amounts in the club, unlike Jackson and others who "promised" but never delivered, which is the one thing all potential "saviours" of the Vale have had in common under V2001.

 

In order to get a better idea, we'd probably need to see their accounts and see where the money goes - I suspect they have a smaller overall wage bill, and it could be that they make more money from their commercial side or sponsorship....Vale is a potential goldmine, if better use was made of the facilities available - and one of the very few things that Deakin did positively was a greater emphasis on the commercial side of the business, but then he didn't have a lot to compete with with the former CEO!!!!

 

Not sure if that explains it all....

I guess their playing budget is,nt as big as ours too

[saintvaliant]

Well for starters they haven't got Mr Blobby and the Tango Man taking a fortune each out of the club.

I heard today on five live that its £18 to get in Northwich. Maybe that's where Miller has put another promisary note.

Don't forget they got good sponsorship all round the ground to top it all they even sell players for money!!!!:D

I noticed last year when I purchased a hot dog they charged £4 which had been written over there normal price of £2 on the board at the kiosk...perhaps that helps?

 

alternatively, perhaps they are run by people who are professional in their jobs.....

[pvfc ash]

Too many people taking to much out of our club...

Simple

[Eric Cartman]

Macclesfield Town Football Club have got money, trust me.

 

They just have a very hard-working, loyal and honest setup who'd never jeopardise the Club under any condition.
