That kind of thing. I suspect most (like me) will have been paying their monthly subscription based on it going directly to the playing budget, not gimmicks. Its far from transparent, our player pool is weaker, the product is pants, and the club refuse to stick up for their support. The next 2 games are colossal.

That’s the important part, they always said the full benefit would t be able to be shown until a full years subscription is in. Fine if everyone paid the £250 up front or whatever it was, but it’s not. I’m £18 per month for both of us, I believe I’ve made most of that back on discount from the club shop and season tickets already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Is that not a bit like the shops giving the 5p bag charge to charity. The cynic in me thinks the DNA money would be going to the playing budget instead of other money, rather than aswell... I think this was discussed before and if like Dandydunn you can make use of the benefits, it doesn’t really matter where the money goes.

I've deliberately not taken the free strip on offer as i'd rather the cost of it stayed with the club. I'm not doing it for free stuff or gimmicks, they only detract from the whole reason i've signed up - to help the club.

Players get paid monthly, they get direct debits monthly. We're committed to these DD's for the year.

However, they know if they were upfront then folk wouldn't subscribe. I seem to be in the minority that i accept our playing budget will reduce, while we fund the stadium project. I don't think it's realistic to think the club will spend £50 million on that and our playing budget won't reduce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One way round it would be Stewart Milne lend the money for the new stadium and get it back when they sell Pittodrie. Or just swap and build his houses on pittodrie when they move out. I doubt it’s as simple as that and no idea if the Pittodrie land would touch the sides of £50million or if Stewart Milne is that rich.

Last estimates i seen were that they expect to raise somewhere around £12 million from the sale of Pittodrie. The training complex is due to open this year and the funding for that is already in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you that the discounts etc get folk to sign up but are counter productive in that it obviously reduces the amount going into the club. The first in the queue type benefits are more like the thing as they are real benefits but cost nothing to give. To be fair to the club they are probably still making the amount they originally aimed for. Just maybe not what they could make as a maximum.

sbcmfc Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Just now, Toepoke said: By the sounds of it in front of Liam McLeod... 😂 Its horrific listening to them commentating from a caravan in the car park. Both sides should grow up and shake hands, wonder if it runs deeper with Traynor and the BBC? Did someone steal his lunch out the fridge when he worked there? Surely as their PR guy he should be trying to resolve this.... I feel watching an English 2nd tier game where they have a firmer Real Madrid goalkeeper with 3 European cups playing on sky sports isn’t really a suitable protest at the uneven distribution of wealth in football...
