I'm told when the Board set the prices they took into account that ASFC will be paying out around £10k in matches expenses and will only receive 45% of the nett profit.

Every penny of income counts at ASFC and additional match revenue can add to the playing budget for the January window.

Surely it's better for match revenue to pay the running costs and allow Andy Holt's investments to go to providing the infra-structure for the long term future??

Reckon most people know every penny of income counts, which is why office staff treating fans like rubbish is stupid.
