You don't budget on that basis though. That's why half the teams in the league are banjaxed.

Class the way everyone is talking about our budget when most don't have a clue. I know how the Bohs fans feel.
It was one of your own fans that speculated on what your budget would be. People were obviously going to talk about it.
well seemingly its totaly logical to assume there doing that so
probably should have put a smiley at the end of my message sometimes i just wish people could be mindreaders to avoid miscommunication........
and by our you mean the new Derry city i'd assume your a fan of them too so?
Although I posted that, it wasn't me who actually speculated it,but the head of the steering committee in a radio interview on saturday.
But IMHO it still seems a bit on the high side although if "rumours" that I've heard about what some players are being offered if they sign to play for us then we will be paying well........ well below that 50% of last years budget.
About the 1,300 avg att, hopefully we should get around about that,but if we're not competing near the top I can see it falling way below the 1k mark.
Plus we also have the fans who have already bought season tickets of Wellvan and that could cause some uproar pocally unless something is done to please them.
BTW like quite a few Derry fans on here I didn't buy one as I thought it was a stupid way of raising money.

So if you think Bohs are big read this. http://www.astronomy.ie/perpespective.html
I'd say even last years Board, never mind the fans, still don't know what last years costs were (let not even use the word budget as that implies a level of foresight and planning that simply wasn't there). Remember that when asked what the total debt was at the "stakeholder meeting" the figure went up £100k in the space of two minutes.
Therefore how on earth can something definitively be 50% of a number that nobody knows?

Sure why not set 2 budgets, just to be safe?I'd say even last years Board, never mind the fans, still don't know what last years costs were (let not even use the word budget as that implies a level of foresight and planning that simply wasn't there).

I'm sure he was given an estimate on what our budget was, and he did say it would be at LEAST 50% of last years budget
DERRY CITY boss Stephen Kenny's efforts to assemble a squad for next season's First Division continue to be hampered by a lack of financial information surrounding the day-to-day running of the club during last season's campaign.
The lack of figures from last year means the new Derry City FC Limited Board of Directors have been so far unable to establish a budget for the 2010 season leaving Kenny with his hands tied in regards to negotiating with players.
However, Derry City Chairman, Philip O'Doherty confirmed yesterday the new Board are continuing to work on reaching a budget and are confident they will be able to present more concrete figure to the Dubliner within the next few days.
"Financial figures from last year are all over the place at the minute so we're just estimating a possible budget for next season," revealed O'Doherty. ........................

A transient, horrible, fantastic dream,
Wherein is nothing yet all things do seem:
From which we're wakened by a friendly nudge
Of our bedfellow Death, and cry: "O fudge!"

My heart bleeds for them.
What? Does anybody really think the numbers will stay the same in D1?"We're also hoping for an increase in numbers attending games or at least hoping there will be no real difference in attendance numbers from last year.
This is the important bit.Meanwhile Derry City's 140 page application to join the League of Ireland First Division was sent to the FAI in Abbottstown this week and O'Doherty is confident of receiving a positive response from the FAI by the beginning of next week.
"It's a very detailed, 140 page document covering everything about the new set-up at Derry City FC Limited. Jack McCauley and Martin McDaid held preliminary discussions with the FAI last Tuesday and we're hoping to get a response next week.
"We've had to start from scratch but I'm confident it will be successful. There was no show-stopping questions, it was just the volume of work involved."

Yet the quote from the Derry Journal indicates no one has a clue what it was last year, so "it will be at least 50% of something we dont know."
Like I said i'm sure Philip O'Doherty was given an estimate on last years budget, and has given a rough estimation that it will be at least half of that estimateYet the quote from the Derry Journal indicates no one has a clue what it was last year, so "it will be at least 50% of something we dont know."
If you go to 50% you'll be in trouble..
You lose a lot more than just gate money by being in the First Division.
Shels are currently at about a playing budget of 15% of what we were at when we exploded.
and we've crowds of about 75% of what we had then
If anyone at your new club thinks crowds equals playing budget you'll be gone just as soon as you start.
John Delaney!! GET OUT!!!
