Geoff Kilpatrick Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Good articlehttp://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/blog/2008/oct/07/premierleague.westhamunited Quite so. However, West Ham are really going to feel the pinch now that they have to find ?30M and their benefactor is losing a personal fortune with the Icelandic economy utterly smashed.

Dagger Is Back Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 You know I was just thinking that even in difficult times like this when money is tight and the outlook gloomy, most football clubs do nothing to help those fans who are feeling the pinch. There we are with Tynie no way near capacity - why don't we offer some cheapies/freebies - or have I missed something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, if things get really bad (and we survive) the UB40 gates might well return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah totally agree Geoff - that's why it's a surprise to me given how badly we're playing and the economic climate, that we haven't already acted. I wonder how many non ST tickets we sold on Saturday? Not may I'd wager given these factors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season ticket holders have received vouchers to use to allow a friend to get a match ticket for Tynecastle on the cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jam Tarts 1874 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 It does seem very likely that many clubs who are relying on borrowing from banks are going to be in trouble. These clubs will just have to start living within their means. Funnily enough, Hearts have been in the process of cutting down debt and expenditure for some time - I wonder who is responsible for such a lunatic course of action!?
