Who should we listen to???
The Esk or a BILLIONAIRE Accountant?
The way people talk about the finances of the Club as if we haven't got an accountant and his very successful mate running it is baffling.

Apparently a lot of very low price seating, especially for the kids at WestHams new ground, think the owner's were terrified they wouldn't fill it.

I think the key issue at West Ham was they had over 70 boxes at the Boleynhttps://www.grandoldteam.com/forum/threads/new-stadium-discussion.66451/post-7616571
It didn't, it's pretty much the same, which is incredible.They've got to be the exception that proves the rule though. Nothing about that stadium move is typical. I'd be very surprised if you could find another stadium move like West Ham's where revenue stayed the same!!
I've just read we're going to have 9 capacity non-football events at NWHL in the summer. West Ham don't get any revenue from other events at the Olympic stadium. Even as a sceptic, you've got to admit BMD is much closer to what we've done than West Ham's model. And on top of that, I hate to point out, you're starting from a lower base than West Ham were ever at with stadium revenue. So I'd expect a significant difference between GP and BMD.
Could it be because we just posted our biggest yearly loss ever? Or because he employed 2 [Poor language removed] managers and a [Poor language removed] DOF that blew his war chest, and have now got the FFP people looking at us quite closely? Baffling?

West Ham have almost doubled their capacity, yet their matchday income is roughly the same as at the Boleyn ground 5yrs ago. That would seem to defy logic. Increased supply might go some way to explain low price structure. It was probably apparent that they could never fill the place at the same prices as at the Boleyn and have had to cut them dramatically.
Could it also be because they had over 70 boxes at their old ground, and I'm not sure if there are only 16 at the London Stadium?
If so our model of just 20 boxes is possibly similar to theirs, and in no way compatible to Spurs 80 boxes for instance...... but more importantly they got their new stadium for nothing, and therefore can afford to slash prices! Ours is coming in at approx £10k per seat, and we already charge some of the lowest prices in the league to fill just 39k....

If our billionaire accountant isnt majorly scared about the losses then neither am i. Simple. Why fans get hung up on that side of it ill never know.

I don't suppose the Glazers are particularly bothered about carpet bagging Utd either.
I've no idea if he's "majorly scared" or not.... perhaps concerned enough to have to go cap in hand to his mate for a sub?
If its good enough for Hilda Ogden its good enough for me and you...once that one of Martinez went up it was only going to end one way
None of them are majorly scared...right up until they put the handcuffs on them.
Something I noticed about the spurs stadium is the 1st row of the stand is as high as the advertising boards. Which makes it look further from the pitch. Will ours be the same ?
Probably, there are loads of regulations these days, we wont get away with Goodison.

If we don't have a major influx of players in the summer that will be confirmation of soiled trousers the present lack of activity is a mere hint at touching cloth

It's a thing of beauty. I don't even think I'm biased saying that it's going to be one of the finest stadiums in Europe.
