Union Bears Statement - Boycott

[26th of foot 5,856]

How much would Dundee United lose if we Boycott? (roughly)

 

Well, they usually provide us with the entire main stand and the former(now seated) terracing behind the goals. Let's say 6,000 tickets at £25 a pop? If my arithmetic is correct, that's £150,000.

 

Of course, there are added costs in extra stewarding, policing, catering staff, ......... etc. Further, the gate is split somewhere around 55%-45% in the home club's favour.

 

Roughly, I suspect the ticket revenue must be worth £75-£80grand to Dundee Hibs.

 

Maybe, if we starve them of this income, they will have to off-load Russell/Daly in the January window. Our defence needs all the help it can get.

Another great reason not to give them a penny. They'll probably charge our fans double what they charge their own fans for the briefs. It wouldn't be the first time they've done that.

Would've thought one or both of them was going anyway to balance the books this year, they needed the sale of Goodwillie last year to save the books.
