I’m happy for us to be “fan owned” in the sense of that meaning that the fans might be able to prevent something like a move to some godforsaken shitehole 60 miles from Merton, but in terms of real growth and progress we must attract investment - the conundrum is how to achieve that without ending up with a huge issue as we had with Koppell et al…. 🤷🏻♂️🙄

So, in conclusion, we can’t afford to be fan-owned and truly competitive without wealthy benefactors like ‘John Galt’ subsidising the wage bill because the hoi-polloi can’t afford it.

Btw if I came into a significant sum of money I would seriously consider using some for the benefit of the club. But until then it will have to make do with my ST and the couple of pints of overpriced beer on match days.

I don't want to be fans owned,in the pro game,it restricts us.. rich people like Galty should be stumping up,not those that day by day hope they can afford grub from the supermarket. The expensive west stand should be double the price for the wealthy fans only .the temporary stands were cheap and should be affordable seats for all.

Spit - why should "someone else" always be the ones to pay more? It's strange that when people define those with the "deepest" pockets they generally refer to anyone just slightly better off than themselves. I'm sure that there are greater efficiencies to be had as there are in all businesses - but ultimately there is no getting away from the fact that one gets what one pays for and in our case our average bum on seat revenue last season (net vat) was around £13. After allowing for an average 15% London "Weighting" ("Weighting" not "Waiting" as Laurence has kindly pointed out) this is the lowest out of all clubs in the football pyramid. Rather than talking about the expansion of the stadium to accomodate more low paying subsidised fans - lets gradually ratchet up the cost of attendance and create awaiting list. Once we are then profitable we can then look a very gradual expansion. Always better to have less seats than are in demand!

JG - I would also be prepared to pay more for a higher grade of football, unfortunately, I don't even have enough for a lower grade, so I'm very sorry, but I'll have to continue being a meanie for the time being.

REPD, eastern Latvia is very "russian". IIRC, Latvia has the largest %age of russian of all the Baltic states

John Galt - London Waiting is in fact London Weighting and relates to pay for staff in the capital, who were given a little extra each month for working in the higher priced area.

No idea what you are referring to with London Waiting or Weighting. Or maybe you are seeking to relate to earning power versus spending power?
REPD, Riga's an amazing city. Jurmala on the coast is well worth a visit too. Very cheap train fare to get there.

JG,surely you should be concentrating more on the fact we have a vast corporate area,double KM crowds,Ground share , great club shop sales, good player sales yet still make a big loss. . Surely our rich fans can fund the club. So the poorer fans can still attend matches and aren't priced out.!

Otherwise what's the point of fans owned.
