DML league leaders eh? A nice easy one to start.

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Errr... shan't be attending that one then, by the looks of it!!

 

 

[GHA EFM]

Unless we can force a draw, Zeal...

A Home draw - just what we/I didn't want <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Nah. Fk 'em, Thornsy. They (the board) don't deserve our support, nor do they deserve a penny of our money.

 

 

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Indeed, I've been making some calculations.

 

The first game I went to at Clarence Park was Hendon in the FA Cup 4th Qualifying Round in 1997, six years ago to the week.

 

The following is an estimated amount of money I've spent at the club...

 

Gate receipts - assuming an average 24 home games a season at an average £7 per game (including league and all cups) - £1008.00

Bar receipts - varies a lot, but a conservative average would be £15 per game (and often a lot more) - £2,160.00

Merchandise - I have bought nine replica shirts in total at an average of £35 each - £315.00

Programmes - used to buy one per game for my first four seasons - £192.00

Shirt sponsorship - twice I sponsored a player (Paul Turner and Neil Trebble) at £100 each - £200.00

Match sponsorship - sponsored a match twice at £20 each - £40.00

 

That little lot totals £3,915.00 in just six years, and that's without the little extra's like Golden Goal tickets, scratchcards and the odd few quid behind the tea bar.

 

My support, however, is no longer required.

 

My bank manager will be delighted.

Interesting as I've been coming 11 seasons and indeed purchased programmes for the first few seasons, I know I've purchased a least 5 replica shirts (including this seasons) and put a fair bit behind the bar in that time as well.

I'd therefore put my contrubution at at least double Zeals as well, in days of falling attendances can we really be turning support away!
