Does make me feel slightly sick that as their final gift before they leave this earth British boomers will vote to dismantle all the good working conditions they have had all their lives and ruin the lives of their kids and grandkids forever
In the UK, 1 in 4 people will have suicidal thoughts at some point in their lifetime.
You are not alone - reach out to your support team.
We're proud to be supporting @samaritans ahead of #WorldMentalHealthDay, alongside other EFL Championship clubs.
@tim_wxm@Geraint4WxmAFC@fearlessidzine Yeah, it doesn’t make any sense.
Most people I know applied for all the games and got zero tickets.
I only got Derby.
@jonesyd95@BCAFC249@GabSutton They budgeted for playoffs last year.
Added Smith, Rodriquez and Longman in January when it was clear we had a real shot of the automatics.
Birmingham spend £30m+ and we were only in the top 5 for wages when the season started.
Pressure to go up wasn’t like L2 and NL.
@BCAFC249@jonesyd95@GabSutton True for NL and L2, but not true for L1. Vast majority of our squad last season never played higher than L1.
Plan was never to go up last year, but we were in a good position in Jan so we went for it.
Owners prob looking at top half this season. Fans happy with mid table.
@Marty_FPL It’s mad really. We knew this was the business plan from the minute they took over, but I don’t think any fans believed it would work this well.
We can’t really get our heads around the numbers.
Wrexham was full of American tourists all summer even though there was no football!
@keevs_89@Marty_FPL@mickyh01@secondtierpod@RobDorsettSky Yes it was. And 100,000 would probably put us top 10 in the premier league for shirt sales. And that was when we were in league 1.
Loads more variety in the club shop now too. And shirts are easier for people to get abroad this season.
We make the most from iFollow too
@Marty_FPL Half our commercial revenue comes from North America.
We don’t make a penny from the documentary. It’s used to drive interest and it’s working incredibly well.
We toured Oz and NZ this summer. USA previous 2 years.
Each year more people overseas become fans and spend $
@Marty_FPL Yeah, TV rev is £10m extra in the Championship.
Our money comes from sponsorships and merch sales.
Shirt sales massively increased last year - sold nearly 100,000.
Our sponsors are companies you’d expect to see with premier league teams. They’re basically paying for Reynolds.
@mickyh01 Yep. And it’s all money we’ve earned.
And not as much as Birmingham spent in league 1.
Did that worry you too?
The season we had the revenue of £26m you mentioned, in league 2, Birmingham’s revenue was only £2m more in the championship 🤣
And you lost £16m that season.
@mickyh01@keevs_89@secondtierpod@RobDorsettSky The £26m was league 2 🤣
The figure for last season isn’t out yet, but it’ll be higher. We sold 100,000 shirts last year.
Our revenue in the championship is expected to be £50m+.
I know it’s annoying but we’re spending money we earn through our commercial operations.
@ChrisCogle93853@Wrexham_AFC To be fair Doyle will be a definite first teamer and a lot of fans would rather have Okonkwo in goal.
It’s started well enough!
