I suppose that all depends on a few things? If and when FC United have there own ground, Currently losing around 120k per season renting, also losing out on ground advertisement, again another 100k plus, The plan going forward is for FCe to have the own training ground within the next 2 years. and within the next 5 years to own there own ground. Players wages could be another? But i dont think we will have a problem with that.. There's players waiting in the reserve team, itching for a game. unibond players are still mostly part time. Wages between £40-£200 FCe top earner is a contracted player who earns £150 a week, and not the rumored £600 most FCe players earn around £60 a week.. and thats if there in the top 16 Conference level?? not to sure, but heard some players get £600 a week? Its as far as the fans want to take it. Our club Our rules and besides FCe have a very healthy bank balance. at the moment.
Cool, I have wondered how the money flows at the lower leagues. Do you have any information on how much the team is generating for revenues? I.e. you state they are losing ~£250k/season from having to rent and no advertising revenue in the stadium. But are they generating enough from gate receipts to offset this "loss"? Does the team get the profit from concession stands at Gigg Lane for their games? Also, a somewhat ignorant question, but do concessions at stadiums in the UK work the same as they do in North America? I.e. you simply leave your seat and go get a beer & hotdog from vendors, and sometimes vendors come to the stands to hawk their wares, or is it different? I ask because I have sometimes seen ticket descriptions that seem to imply that concession tickets can be pre-purchased with game tickets (which would be very different from here in North America). Thanks for all the posting on FCUM. It has been fun watching this team progress. Do you think this team will have a legitimate chance to win another promotion this upcoming year, or are things going to start to get more difficult for the team (promotion-wise) soon? Do you think that just because they are FCUM they will be able to consistently draw decent calibre players to the team, or do you anticipate that all the attention the team has gotten since their formation will die down a bit and they will become "just another team" in the pyramid? Cheers!
But are they generating enough from gate receipts to offset this "loss"? Does the team get the profit from concession stands at Gigg Lane for their games? Based on the 1st season, FCe paid Bury FC appox 5/6k per game And we had to get crowds of over 1,500 to break even, And with last seasons average was 2,600 Plenty of cash was made, Also, a somewhat ignorant question, but do concessions at stadiums in the UK work the same as they do in North America? I.e. you simply leave your seat and go get a beer & hotdog from vendors, and sometimes vendors come to the stands to hawk their wares, or is it different?

Ha Ha Its different in England, You have to queue up for about 15mins to get an over priced burger, And concessions in England means? reduced ticket price(kids etc) Do you think this team will have a legitimate chance to win another promotion Yes!! People are saying in non-league FCe will again walk it?? i dunno, play offs would be good Do you think that just because they are FCUM they will be able to consistently draw decent calibre players to the team, Yes and why not.. "just another team" in the pyramid? The the best bit about it? Nobody knows.. for me. I'd be quiet happy watching fcum back in the NWCFL
