Sevco’s sums

464

We got sight of a couple of interesting stats in the last 24 hours.  Sevco released their proposed season ticket prices for this season – £258 for adults.  The Herald today told us they have sold 450 tickets, which would generate £116k.

For every 10,000 full price adult tickets Sevco sell they can expect an income of £2.58m.  40,000 sales would bring in just over £10m.

The cost Rangers faced to run a football club at Ibrox, before employing any staff whatsoever, has varied in recent seasons, but not dipped below £16m.  On top of this Rangers employed around 200 non-playing staff plus dozens of players.

You see the size of the funding challenge Sevco face, made all the more difficult by what appears to be an almost weekly appearance of a distraction in the form of other parties wanting them to relinquish control.  It’s almost as though the universe is conspiring to starve them of income. Their issues with the SFA will grab current headlines, but if these are resolved far greater challenges lie ahead.

Fans of all Scottish clubs are invited to contribute their thoughts on a variety of subjects, including policing, stewarding, the media, offensive chanting, and are asked for ideas to improve the supporter experience.

I have spoken to the researcher tasked with getting a perspective on this and he is keen to hear from as many Celtic fans as possible.  It will take you around three minutes to complete the online survey, which you can do from here.

  1. The new archbishop was PP in my neck of the woods,

     

    St Mary’s in Duntocher,left there to go to Paisley

  2. Charles Green stating that they hope to have SFA membership secured within 24 hours convinces me that it’s not happening.

  3. SSN: ‘More good news for Rangers with Andrew Little poised to sign a new deal. He’s a talented striker and has been in-demand’.

     

     

    So much in demand that he has signed for a skint club with few players with no playing license and if they do will play in the fourth tier of Scottish football.

  4. …the next person to make a duck pun………will sleep with the fishes………..

     

    Capiche!

    I am rather detached from the machinations of the Roman Catholic hierarchy in Scotland, so many thanks for the update.

    Andrew Little couldn’t get a game for Port Vale whilst on loan last season – saw him there once – came on as a sub – got injured colliding with his own player – went back to them. My son’s a PV season ticket holder – not impressed with Little

    We can not choose where we are born: I was lucky to be born in the more salubrious part of Renfrewshire, ie Greenock!! Could have been a lot worse: the Port for example!

    Not sure but my gran was a parishioner of Holy Cross and it was my parish for a while too.

     

     

    I remember her talking about a Fr Tartaglia but unsure if it’s the same man.

    To put that comment into perspective you have to understand Little’s big brother works for SSN – he may even have written that for the presenter.

    I’m not so keen on ole Efe Ambrose. For all his size I’ve heard he couldn’t knock the skin off a rice puddin’.
