SOL expansion

[Boris Bear]

Redecorating the west stand chod?

 

[Blyth]

and following the exact same pattern as i posted earlier. Consolidate their position in the PL, then expand the stadium. We need to spend our wedge on staying in the league first.

Different circumstances. The club needs more hospitality

 

[Zimba]

They have the 3rd cheapest season tickets

That's debateable mind. There is some cheap tickets, but it's such a minority of tickets - no doubt to shout the headlines. Beyond that the tickets are quite expensive, the vast majority of tickets are £750+

Leeds aren’t waiting. Birmingham aren’t waiting. Neither are the mags, palace, Brighton, forest or Villa.

They aren’t thinking what happens if it goes to shit.

They are and have been sell ours for a while. We have had an unused part of our ground closed!

 

[ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK]

The city issue is the average supporter has been out priced by the club it's not that they don't have enough fans to fill their ground.

They have the 3rd cheapest season tickets

Why do people think the lowest price means owt in articles like this?

That price is limited to just a few front rows around the certain section of the pitch coloured light blue in the image below. The next cheapest is £590 in the FAMILY STAND but you obviously need to be taking a bairn so nee good for those without a bairn. There's a few more pitch side at £580 but very limited in dark brown colour.

For the majority of the prices you're looking £700 plus and it gets higher the more central or middle of the stand you want to be, unless you want to be right at the back of the stand.

Everyone’s own choice but that’s basically 25 quid per game for premier league football. Not sure how they can really be lower than that going forward with the way things are. Also don’t think there is much you could get value for money ( I know it’s a bit more uncontrollable) wise that’s better than 25 quid for a game of premier league football

I agree, but who’s to know if we will be in the Premier League?

No other club in the top-flight, or championship for that matter, has as many concession tickets as we do.

 

[oddbod]

The planning permission for the south stand extension is already in place.

its out of date i thought!

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

its out of date i thought!

Was renewed fairly recently, within the last 2 years I think

700 quid to see that team cheap as chips

Prices quoted for a few 100 seats is what it should say and the £700+ in mainly in the South Stand so limited choice again, as are the 18-21 and U18 prices.

No other club in the top-flight, or championship for that matter, has as many concession tickets as we do.

This! It's one reason why our revenue is as low as it is as getting £11.6m from 37,000 supporters (£313 per fan) yet Norwich got £11.3m from an average of just 26,000 (average £434 per fan).

This shows that club has the potential to increase revenue considerably.

Match Day Revenue: The growth was driven by a 7% ticket price increase, one more home game and higher crowds. In fact, Sunderland's £11.6m match day income was the highest in the Championship, ahead of Norwich City £11.3m, Middlesbrough £10.9m and Coventry City £10.0m

If they build a load of boxes and a 'premium suite' above the East stand lower bowl it will vastly improve the revenue but hardly affect the home atmosphere. Maybe add 1500 (@ average £250+ a pop is about £7m per season). Away hospitality is a thing now, so 76 Yards might become a money spinner there.
For the jump-around/'scenes' kind of fans, the Roker End needs to be a Spuds/Dortmund style Red Wall- all safe standing with affordable SCs and some £40 day sales. Grow the passion.
This increased revenue is a crucial part of the sustainable Prem club we all want to be. They need a plan that achieves this while building atmosphere in the stadium, and making the SoL a destination for other Prem club's fans to spend their money.

Looked a decent queue at the TO office this morning when I was meeting someone for a work meeting at the Hilton.

Wonder how many more SC we’ve shifted?

Work meeting? Is that what you call it now? Meeting a working girl in the Hilton you mean?

Surely Leeds United must have the highest championship income?

There’s roughly 1500!remaining

I wish marra, would have been more entertaining

 

[Drexl]

I think it’s a cracking idea to extend now. Strike while the feel good factor is present. Keep the forward momentum.

Aye £30.6m match day from 36,000 average which average at £850 per fan. If we had the same pricing structure as them but sold out 45,000 then that would be £38.25m. To make that same match day revenue in 2023/24 with our average £313 per fan, we'd have needed to have a stadium with a 122,000 capacity Or another way, just 13,600 average paying Leeds fans would match the revenue from our 37,000 fans
