[quote="Moe Lester"]Whatever people's thoughts are on Hughes and where exactly he went wrong, I personally don't see any point in discussing it. He's gone and there's a time for discussing him and his tenure but for now, this isn't the time.
I agree. The time for recriminations is when/if the fat lady sings.
I'm presuming it is £175 for an adult membership, so some very simple vape packet maths makes that 2,000 adult season tickets, though that doesn't take into account anyone that purchases some form of hospitality membership and any concessions, which will surely be cheaper than £175. Did the club even have 2,000 season ticket holders in 2024? Probably not. Even if you make the target 1,500, which is still incredibly ambitious and average out their memberships at £150, there's still an £87,000 shortfall. Really it's riding on external investment as the fanbase is not realistically going to raise £350,000 in a month.
£175 is cheaper than last year. I think it’s a decent deal but as you say the maths looks problematic. I’d say if they got 500 STs they would be doing a good job. Ultimately they need some sponsors and external partners who aren’t just contras and, to my eyes, this is something we’ve struggled to do since moving to Wimbledon and certainly to find at an early stage. Brew Dog et al seemed to turn up at the 11th hour.
