Season Tickets 2012-13

Stretford,

That is an incredibly simplistic way of looking at things. Uefa have been involved since the start and have stated publicly that they are happy with our business plan. Our owners have time and time again said their long term vision and their business record backs them up on it.

The money spent on infrastructure is completely separate to FFP and somthing that can still be their imcome streams. This is where future self sufficiency for the club will come from, something which they have been saying for years.

Seriously, do people even both to research stuff nowadays? Or just sprout an opinion from what they heard on talksport or read in a redtop?

bother, not both.

Look at the other article named " how do we compete" or something. The thread is littered with ill informed rants that has one common denominator. This message of: " boo hoo it's not fair".
Clearly these people do not see the bigger picture or that they do not want to see the bigger picture. It's easier to be deconstructive and just to run the other guy down.

Mine was £535. I got charged £30 for moving to a cheaper seat.

Well I suppose we will see won't we?

But from my understanding....the only chance City have got of meeting the regulations is by getting the ridiculous Etihad deal to go through and other deals of that nature. Which will never happen. As it's an obvious example of financial doping.

'Market rate' revenue won't be enough to keep City top of the pile.

Your new kit deal is said to be worth 25m or there abouts. Our next one is touted to be at least twice that.
Considering we sell 10 shirts in the UK for every 1 that City sell.....I would say that you are doing rather well out of that deal. Very generous.

We also have 30,000 more fans per match paying more too.

Where is the money going to come from on infrastructure? Eastlands is wasteland, isolated. Dreams of it being turned into a mini Las Vegas are pie in the sky. Not sure about you but the word recession might have a say on that idea.

Is Old Trafford surrounded by ancient woodland somewhere out on the Cheshire Plain?

You say you run a small business but you seem to have an issue in understanding "business planning" and "revenue generation and forecasting".
This is the reason why I choose to laugh at your pitiful scaremongering.

"Is Old Trafford surrounded by ancient woodland somewhere out on the Cheshire Plain?"

Yes. But only if your definition of "ancient woodland" includes the use of three hundred tonnes of tarmac and the Cheshire Plains stretch as far as Trafford Bar.

I bet Hugh Grant has a ranch in Trafford Park.
