BARRY WHITE Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Why no mention of the entrance fee. I think I read somewhere it's a bit more than usual is that why isn't hasn't been mentioned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I read somewhere it's a bit more than usual is that why isn't hasn't been mentionedCharging £8, really for no apparent reason !I thought the Bodmin chairman had stated the reason :- "Also for those who are not aware we have to pay out nearly £1000 to Bath for travelling down as well as splitting the gate receipts. So if we go out at this stage then in all probability we will still make a loss."Big Al - I honestly don't know if you're one of the best wind-up merchants around or just a disillusioned old soul?

Regrettably in this day and age, we have to think of all our teams in the SWPL as businesses rather than charities! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably £6 would have been more appropriate. If the crowd is 250 at £6 that is £1500 = more than enough ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheolderIgetthebetterIwas Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) Certainly looking to make a few bob on this game, Bath will win and end the run anyway, so just as well make a few pence to bail out what is probably an expensive season.I personally don't blame them for it, for some clubs.....footballs an expensive dream these days.And yes, the FA cup can be very expensive, especially if you lose early on your own patch, that's why many don't enter it.£1500 would mean almost certainly a loss, break even at best.

Blues10 Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Good luck to all at Bodmin.. Can't believe the majority of these comments are about the bloody entrance fee. Get behind a club that's representing the county in the FA cup, it's only an extra couple of quid!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panda Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Big AL you can never have more than enough !!Your saying £6 is ample .Do you read the previous threads.? Moneyman has said it costs £1000 for Baths expenses Add the costs of extra stewards hospitality referees expenses and you will be very lucky to make aprofit even if you charged £10!!

Sponge Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 I'm sure many other players in the county would like to watch the game too, some tight gits out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
