Carrow89 0 Posted March 6, 2008 So much for the much touted investment. Bowden admits that they don''t expect to go up this season. And with less than a handful of loanees and championship players recently brought in admits that Magilton has " some of his initial £12m investment for the squad still left to spend ". Some ! Where''s the rest gone ?Perhaps his other words might explain“Marcus Evans'' investment has gone towards players - transfers fees andwages - and we have to still cover for the day to day losses of aChampionship football club."Which amounts to "we can expect to lose another £2million in operations revenue.Thisis a reason why new season tickets holders will pay an increase of5.7per centThis increase is more than other Championship clubs"So the poor old paupers are expected to stump up more to bail out their failing club. Not much investment there - accept from the gullible fans.We can only wonder if that £2m loss takes into account the reinstated interest on the £30m odd loan or the payments to the banks they still owe. Maybe it might even include the half a million they now have to pay annually for the £8.1m they borrowed from Marcus Evans.Any wonder attendances and season ticket sales are dropping year in year out at poorman road.You''d have to have a heart of stone not to laugh.

sam 0 Posted March 6, 2008 Yep, poor old binners, that is why they are 7th in the league, only 2 points off the play off''s and 7 points clear of Norwich, the support may be better at Norwich but the football and results ain''t, and that is what the fans pay to come and see, a successful team.

VOR 0 Posted March 6, 2008 Mr Wright, you really are like a broken record, in fact you are just as bad as WIZ and Smudger in the predictability of your posts.Can you actually contribute anything without banging on about the paupers down the roadyeah you may enjoy their predicament but I should think they are enjoying themselves, not doing them much harm at the moment is it..how many championship clubs can splash out 2million pounds on a player, over priced or not?Without Mr Evans they would probably be going into admin and hurtling towards League One...the fact that they appear to be heading in the opposite direction makes me wonder if your persistant ramblings about the ''binners'' are in fact just a bit of bitter jealousy whatever the moral regard to their circumstances Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You think a succesful team would have 7 more points than us after the start we had? Two wins and a draw. I don''t think so. If you read the piece in the EADT it appears that the Binners are bracing themselves for failure this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carrow89 0 Posted March 6, 2008 Oh dear, it appears I''ve upset another binner. The joke my little cockney wannabe is that you ain''t hurtling in the opposite direction. The red faced buffoon claimed that enormous sums of money were to be made available to help you paupers into the Premiership yet here you are slowly slipping out of contention.You ain''t going up, you ain''t even going to get into the playoffs and as to the supposed millions you spent you''ve gained LESS points than us since your supposed investment. And yet again despite all this money you are making another loss.And what''s the response from the club to the usual loss ? Please sir can we have more ?Nope.Increase the season ticket price ! ! !Poor old binners, it''s hard not to laugh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ca 1 Posted March 6, 2008 [quote user="Ralph Wright"]Bowden admits that they don''t expect to go up this seasonThis is a reason why new season tickets holders will pay an increase of 5.7per cent[/quote]Where does Bowden say he doesn''t expect them to go up Ralph ?You fail to say that they have frozen their prices for existing season ticket holders if they renew before 13/4 which means that my best friend who sits behind the goal in the North Stand will pay £368 which is about the same as our Barclay Season Ticket holders will pay .Plus because she bought her season ticket over 2 years ago so she will qualify for a 50% rebate this year if they go up so thats a good deal isnt it.Just wish they would review the prices they charge for away fans, my ticket cost £31 last year which is ridiculous, grrrr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carrow89 0 Posted March 6, 2008 Yep, it''s ok IF you already hold a season ticket at poorman road - a fast dimishing number.Not so good if you are not and buy after mid April - the price can go up to £703. In fact the £368 you quote is the LOWEST adult fee, in the family enclosure at that.As to it being a good deal if they go up then yes, if they go up. Which is becoming less and less likely as each game goes.As to Bowdens'' view on promotion I suggest you read his words in today''s EADT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Syteanric 1 Posted March 7, 2008 well i think every hair brained scheme Sheepw*nks and his cronies come up with is hilarious... its like having the 3 stooges in charge...We all saw what this Marcus Evans was up too... some of us even put cautionary notes to our "friends" down the road warning them... but they were not heeded. anyone remember their "loaded" chants at Carrow road?
