Appreciate your willingness to test my figures!

There's several factors in my revenue up lift figures.

Yes there's an increase in ticket prices across the board but nearer to 20% for ordinary match goers.

The key is yield management. You have to look at a football stadium like a airline looks at a plane. How many ways can you offer premium seating to suit different pockets and different customer types? Liverpool's stadium development is built on a complex model of different premium pricing and there's no reason why Everton cannot do something similar in concept (albeit with different pricing points). The net effect is a huge uplift in overall yield per seat.

Also for ease of explanation I have added back into revenues some cost savings associated with a new stadium. On a per seat basis a 50,000 seat new stadium is far cheaper to run than a 40,000 old stadium. Obviously for accounting purposes this would be presented differently but the net effect would be the same.

I have also assumed that part of any deal would be minimal contributions to business rates for a considerable period. If you look at WHP that is currently a piece of land with a negative yield as far as the council is concerned so there scope for negotiation on that and many other areas.

Re immediate return for investors on stadium build or development it should be noted that Fenway are providing Liverpool with £115 million loan with no interest costs.

Whoever acquires Everton will have their own figures, all I am demonstrating is what is possible with the correct strategies and management team alongside the resources required to achieve these goals.

We need a vision and ambition off field to compete with all the previously mentioned clubs who are well into the process of achieving what for us still remain words on a football forum, let alone a strategy in a boardroom

As you know , I will always scrutinise figures, and would be disappointed if you didn't think I wouldn't.
So put simplistically, the 19mil figure is not calculated on a like for like basis, because my calculations are based on the average bum on seat yield with the base of 20.60p which is the current average. Rough calculations based on 4.17 price increase (£5 less VAT) previously discussed give an increase of pure gate revenue of circa £8mil


Regarding the rates, in the current climate I would imagine any loss of revenue would take some selling to the electorate.but I would cede that in order yo keep EFC, they may well settle with similar rates to Goodison.

I have no doubt that with new owners the club can go forwards and things will change, but the difference between most people and myself is that I will start from what is known and extrapolate supporting figures, and will pick up on any unsupported figures and pick them apart - it's being objective.

No problem mate, it's good that you do. Stimulates debate and keeps us on our toes.

Show me where i said Kenwright was the devil after all that "was yours, your words, your statement."

Also as ive said any chance of pulling up the original nonsense generalisation and not the reply? no of course not.

Fair enough if you want to argue about the substance of the post but don't have a go at things you're letting other people get away with purely because you agree with them re the board

1. I never said you did
2. I'd not read the post you were replying to, but if that was the same generalisation conversely put, then that's just as bad as yours.
3. I want the board to change as well
