after listening to john pelling last night about ffp is nd just missing the point and cutting cost instead of increasing revenue.for those that missed it he said that we are running at a loss of 12m a year and nd is paying it out of his own pocket in the way of loans.ffp will only allow you spend ?% of your income on running the club so clubs dont go into to much debt dont know what the percentage is i`m sure somebody knows.so they are only two ways to combat that which is cut cost or increase revenue nd seems to want to cut cost when he can just as well increase revenue.ways to do it .no1 put ticket prices up which john pelling said they wont because we cant fill the stadium now no2 .sell naming rights to the city ground like emirates,reebok,britania,and so on.no3 he could buy the naming rights himself like leicester and newcastle have done and still call it the city ground sponsored by nd or doughty/hanson.no4 have concerts in the summer like rem a few years ago take that just toured the country they never came to the east mids.they is proberly a 1000 other ways to increase revenue .instead nd seems intent just to cut cost your thoughts please.

6) sell our best players for large sums.??????
this if forest were talking about,ran by a clown.
best players go for free at forest,we all know that.only we get told they will be replaced but year on year they dont get replaced and this year the excuse is that "there might be a new rule,were not sure what the rule will be,but we will not spend any money just incase a new rule comes in" great bit of work that is.i might sell my house because next year the rules on my mortgage might change,not sure what the new mortgage rules might be or if they even actualy come in to affect but im selling up,just to be sure.
great mentality here at forest.

Hode up! Surely the best way to increase revenue is to get into the Premiership and maintain Premier league status for a few years? This will alsohave a positive impact on ticket prices, attendances, sponsorship, supplementary income (programmes, pies etc). How dare any organisation have the idea that stability is the same thing as stagnation! How many more years will we have to put up with this unambitious mediocrity?

Quite agree with the article. Forest have to try and increase revenue. Kitbag were brought in to sort the club shop and online store out (there was talk of a city centre store too, but not sure what happened to that) but other than that not much appears to be done in the way of increasing our revenue. Dare I say, it is something that the Americans have done very well at Direby. Decreasing ticket prices may even be a source of extra revenue - I'm not saying we should give all our tickets away like Direby, but it's simple economics to reduce the price in order to increase demand. This in turn will increase match day revenue. We should be pushing more corporate hospitality and sponsorship by local business and looking at other ways to increase our income.
