Reported at there AGM last Sunday, they made a profit of 150k the last financial year and todays gold day was a massive success for the club.

Your thoughts guys

yawn...

Always a positive being in the black. Canterbury United recorded a profit of pver $52,000 this year which is excellent when Auckland City, the most successful side in the league, has an annual budget of $300,000-400,000.

Melourne Knigths budget is around 800k

Interesting. In both situations, it is excellent for the club. Are Melbourne Knights full or semi-pro?

semi

Maybe from all those $5 chip buckets I bought at games, kept them in the black.
$3 for a can of Coke doesn't help either.

cheaper than the SFS prices

More importantly the money goes to the club rather than the stadium operator.

I wouldn't know.

But as General said, the money goes to the club not the stadium.

Maybe they should spend more on players then. Having a profit of $150K is no good if you are playing State League.

why should they spend more on players when they will lose them for free? doesnt make sense does it zizou

That term can be very loosely interpreted...

Like spending $750k on Nicky Carle to sit on the bench.;)

Go on...

well done Melbourne Knights sounds like good work!!

Praising a thread you started, fucking knob.....

um, im pretty sure i didnt start this thread..

despite whats being barfed out Im not a multi arent i allowed to have an opinion?

when people like yourselves come to Belmore and see for yourselves how many of us there really are you will stop with the cheap shots and realise we're here to serve football as well

17!

edit: this is just a cheeky attempt at getting people thru the belmore turnstiles, kind of like the OMG YOU WIN THE 1000000TH VISITOR PRIZE! There's actually no prize, you just served their purpose by clicking it.

..i think we'll just go about our business. i dont understand why you wouldnt be at least curious when we get our results and crowds back.

..and to those who say it cant be done, that Olympic is dead.. proving you wrong will be so sweet :p

its time to make it happen! woooo

All the best, good luck, and well done if it happens.

I'm from New Zealand. We have our own revolution to mastermind.

That is good to see. I long for the day when A-League clubs (or a large percentage of them) are living withing their means. Club owned stadiums is must as far as this is concerned .

To be honest he doesn't post like PAOKTZI, even if he does also try and start flame wars.

I am confused, do you mean that they are not making money from the food and pourage?

Just saying, a prominent VPL club which was thought by all to be doing well, had someone taking the 'proceeds' of game day (such as bar and food takings) and siphnoning them away.

Won't name the VPL club publically though.

Your kidding right? What a dog, they need to be hunted down and prosecuted to the full extent that the law will allow.

im sure that VPL isnt alone, a few NSWPL clubs might be in trouble of those type of actins too

The person (s) have been removed from the club but other action may or may not have eventuated...

Happens to a lot of clubs and not just soccer clubs, cricket, hockey, rugby league, Aussie Rules, all aren't immune to this. It's the nature of non-full time professional clubs.

I've heard of that happening at Altona, no idea how credible the source was though and i reckon it would happen to some extent at a few clubs
