Unfair or unlucky ?
« on: November 12, 2015, 01:00:47 PM »
So for the 3rd time in a row ... Correct me if I'm wrong .. We are away on tv again at midday down south

Meaning the 9k for tv the away team only gets 1.5k rest goes to home team

At a guess travel for the club and accommodation would be up to 4K meaning 2.5 k out of pocket

Not to mention fans leaving at 6am or staying over

Unlucky or unfair ?

I am baffled as to why, in a season and a half back at this level, we are probably the only team who has not had a home game shown on BT Sport. It's not that I feel we ought to be on there a lot, they are naturally going to want to feature the bigger/higher placed sides when possible, but it's almost as if they have some issue with coming to Moss Lane.

It's quite ironic that the last two games they have featured Alty have been games I was able to go to, rather than being able to benefit from it being on tv. I'd much rather they showed a game at Moss Lane for this very reason.

Agree couple this with Salford getting back to back games despite us holding the most league scalps and Barnsley not moving  costing us it leaves a very sour taste

I'm looking forward to seeing it

What I am complaining about is how we as a club are worse off on the back of it

The club has said we are worse off - having to travel down overnight has cost £3500, compared to the benefit which is only £1500.  They have also said that we would not have stayed overnight had this been a 3pm kick off.

Aside from maybe the away team should get a slightly bigger percentage I think the main aspect here is BT Sport being located down that neck of the woods.

As are the bbc with Salford

The club will have 100 people in the bar so should make that much up but if them figures are correct they should give you more

I believe Mr Rowley said this is an issue he will raise with the rest of the National League chairmen as, as has been said on here, we will lose money out of this.

When you consider the relative success we have had against some top teams in this league you would have thought Alty at home to a top team would be a decent game to show.

exactly, we would have only taken 20 fans anyway

Management Guru & Hamilton - you are both correct.  In his programme notes last Saturday, Mr.Rowley actually quoted £3500 expenses and only £1000 reimbursement.

So the 100 people in the bar will have to raise £2500 PROFIT to cover the overnight stay.

Or £25 profit each - which is probably 25 pints each.

Good luck lads!

I estimated we are unlikely to be making more than £1 profit per pint, although its probably £3.50 a pint or so
