Darthter 542 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 just been having a wee think about general running costs & season ticket income.... In general, does anyone have any idea how RFC's daily running costs (Stadium, training, wages etc) compare with other SPL teams - especially the "bigger" teams with decent sized grounds and decent facilities. Reports suggest that other SPL teams, with the exception of Ceptic, are selling less than 10k season tickets @ generally a lower price that our ST's. Therefore, they are pulling in less revenue than us, yet they still get by. I can see our team costs dropping fairly significantly over the next few years, but hopefully still maintain ST's in the 20-30k region. Surely that should be enough to keep Ibrox ticking over, while still providing a decent amount left over for player purchases etc. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,320 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Dunno what we have to pay, but if we keep Ibrox at 30k on a match day for a while, we should be fine running-cost wise. I also noted that Brechin had adverts at the back of their jerseys, so maybe that would be another way of income - not that I am a friend of too many ads nor do I know the rules of the SFL in this regard. Mazza, any chance you can whip up a list of the companies running the other SPL teams? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is something Dundee United do as well, I have always thought it was a good idea with many teams in Scandinavia doing it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I suspect tennents pay for exclusive advertising. I also suspect we will need to shed a lot more cost than we already have to make greens 2 million profit. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

calscot 0 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Costs are difficult to calculate as they vary with our activities. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMazza 0 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Ok company names that I can find are: Aberdeen Football Club PLC Hibernian Football Club The Kilmarnock Football Club Limited The Dundee United Football Company Limited Motherwell Football and Athletic CluB Limited (The) The Dundee Football Club Limited Ross County Football Club Limited St Johnstone Football Club Limited (The) St Mirren Football Club Limited (The) Heart of Midlothian 2005 Limted / Heart of Midlothian PLC Celtic PLC (The Celtic one I'm not so sure about, I'm fairly sure they separate out a bank loan through another account, which is why they always look healthy. I'm sure they only pay interest on a loan and not the payment so the debt doesn't show or something. I could however be talking shite ) All the companies are on here: http://companycheck.co.uk/ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,320 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 The two companies running Celtic would be .. (c&p from Bluedell) 1. Celtic plc - this company was formed in 1897 and was previously known as "The Celtic Football And Atheltic Company Limited". Its name changed in 1994. It was the football club (and may well still be). It appears to own the players and Celtic Park. 2. Celtic F.C. Limited - this company was formed in 2001 and was previously HMS (402) Ltd. Celtic describe it as being a fotball club and it receves all the gate money and pays all the wages of the players and other staff. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
