@PompeyPedro Is a referee getting denied entry into the US miles worse than 6500 migrant workers dying building Qatar World Cup stadiums?

[David @Hardcorps7]

@therevba @GBPFC1984 185M. That is purely on ticket sales (not exec boxes) and excludes all the other revenues I mentioned could be generated. It also does not include the opportunity costs of not building a stand and the amount of equity that would have to be added due to not running sustainably.

[David @Hardcorps7]

@therevba @GBPFC1984 Given you have been incapable of providing me any revenue generating ideas, I’m sure you will forgive me for not having projections to hand.
But if you increased capacity 7k and sold STs you’d generate 3.7Mpa. Times that by the 50 years they are supposed to be here and you get..

[David @Hardcorps7]

@therevba @GBPFC1984 Improvement in the infrastructure will increase the value of the club.
Increased matchday revenue (tickets, food, shop etc), increase non matchday revenue (eg hotel, corp facilities). More tickets available=more new fans can come=more rev
Less need for equity + more sustainable

@therevba @GBPFC1984 Isn’t Michael Eisner a famous businessman who knows how to sell products, get commercial deals and so happens to be American?
For owners who are supposed to be here for the next 50 years a new NS investment is a no brainer.

[David @Hardcorps7]

@therevba @GBPFC1984 How would you build the revenue streams?

[David @Hardcorps7]

@therevba @GBPFC1984 If it isn’t financially viable, why are Bournemouth expanding their stadium? Why are Wrexham and Palace?
How would you generate revenue?

[David @Hardcorps7]

@therevba @GBPFC1984 So we just slowly decline while all other clubs improve their grounds? They’ve already said they’re not moving from Fratton park, so we just accept the club will live with a ground that isn’t fit for purpose to compete at the levels the club traditionally has?

[David @Hardcorps7]

@peckham65Grant @pn_jordan_cross Aren’t the Eisners supposed to be here for the next 50 years though?

[David @Hardcorps7]

@GBPFC1984 Makes you wonder why Bournemouth are increasing their stadium given their premier league income. They do because their owners have a plan and ambition.

[David @Hardcorps7]

@pn_jordan_cross This is why the Eisners get away with this when the journalists who can hold them to account have such shortsighted views.

[David @Hardcorps7]

@pn_jordan_cross New NS brings matchday rev (tickets, food, drink, spend in the shop), new fans will be able to go.
Non match day revenue would increase with a hotel, hiring out boxes for functions etc
And maybe it would eventually lower ST ticket price which are one of the highest in the EFL.

[David @Hardcorps7]

@pompeylive In Coventry’s third championship season they spent nearly £40M on players, some who have taken them to the premier league. I don’t think #pompey will be following that pathway anytime soon.

[David @Hardcorps7]

@GeorgePFC96 I’m a big critic of the Eisners but why do you need to be thanked? Would it make any difference to anything if they did?

[David @Hardcorps7]

@mrandrewmoon If fans were presented with what we have 9 years on from the vote, do you think they would have been so quick to sell?

[David @Hardcorps7]

@bobbeech @PompeyNewsNow It was morally wrong, but the money from the charities wouldn’t have given Pompey any competitive advantage and was a negligible amount compared with the costs of running a premier league football club. Unlike scum who cheated and got a sporting advantage from their actions.

@pn_neil_allen One person’s significant improvement is another’s maintenance…

@pn_mark_mcmahon Said the same about Lang and look where he is.
