Pre Tax Profits

[buster go***ds]

just been looking on the bbc website rugby union where it stated that the tigers made 1.1 million profit and also recorded 15.1 million profit with its parent company leicester football club, is this linked with city?
I was led to beleive that we were trying to merge to increase profits with ground sharing and other ideas, but the rubgy officials stopped it as they feared that tigers would become too powerful.
However I heard that citys chairman is still behind the ground sharing option, I personally hope this goes ahead as I believe it will add some much needed clout with regards to transfers and paying the stadiums debt off!
How nuch did we make from last years fa cup run? was it enough to cover de vreis's wages?

The rugby club's full name is Leicester Football Club. The football club's full name is Leicester City Football Club. The two clubs are not connected in any way. There is no intention to merge the clubs - only for them to share the Walkers Stadium.

If you believe that ground-sharing will "add some clout", you obviously believe the propaganda. Many people don't.

Why you should seek to make a link between MdV's wages and the FACup run is beyond me. I'm not even sure that two games can be called a run, but I can tell you that without MdV it would have been half as long.

Not particularly - but it is nevertheless true that he scored the winning goal in the game in question.

i'd say it was more a case of putting someone right when they are clearly without much reason to make such a comment. its like last season people were criticising Rab for being beaten off a very good Jason Koumas freekick against cardiff, i still dont see how he was supposed to have saved it if he had stood in the corner. MDV scored the winning goal in the spurs game and was even judged to have been MOM but bandwagons are easy to jump on.
we may have to groundshare to get any money at from having our stadium if our attendence continues to be so shit and moving downwards, but i'm sure if we are near the top some fans may start coming back

why do we have to ground share?
If we groundshare does that guarantee larger crowds? Also how quick will the money we get be pissed up the wall and we are back where we are now?
I for one am not bothered if we own the ground or not or if it take 100 years to pay off. But I do not want to see ground sharing with any fecker. If the club is ran properly there is no need for it.

my point wasnt that the groundshare would bring more fans for city but we could do with a few bob to make up for some of the fleeing fans

to get the fleeing fans back they have to look at the costs to seating more closely

Presumeably you mean cheaper tickets ?

If so how much would you charge for a matchday ticket ?

Someone tried making this point last night at the open meeting (albeit not as well), and was shot down by 30 of the 35 in attendance. Some people, it would appear, can't see beyond their own noses. They also think that the groundshare is the panacea that will springboard a lenghty return to the premiership, because the club hides behind the "I've seen the figures, you haven't" argument they know the dissenters will never win.
