Fuçking Hell GPC, be careful you’ll have Tel and his gang after you as the infidel for thinking of criticising his holiness KT.
Firstly can I thank you for appointing me to the heady status of, leader of a gang. I very much doubt that I am seen by anyone on here as a leader (other than you of course) but I always take exception with anyone that uses Exeter City as a comparison to any club. Not just us. Exeter has an extensive pool (up to nearly 600 at times) of volunteers who emanate from their fan owned status, who occupy a variety of roles, all of which NTFC have to pay for.
Walsall… I will give you just one example of this not being a level playing field again. Their fùcking huge digital advertising screens that are viewed from the manic M6, now have 5,037 sq ft of LED panels, making it one of the biggest screens in the world and the largest in Europe. With two huge panels at a length of 213ft, it is almost as long as a Boeing 747. plus the advertisements on the large home end behind the goal, raise more than our entire advertising revenue, for the whole of our stadium annually, in a matter of months. These attract revenue year round. In addition to this they have significantly better conferencing and entertainment facilities, hugely assisting their overall revenue.
So… Two further poor comparisons. But.. In my defence, I argue this point the other way as well. So I don’t have a foot in either camp. I realise the pointlessness of comparing anything to something that is not directly like for like comparable. Including those that we regularly out perform.
