In case you hadn't noticed we aren't challenging for promotion, we are barely challenging for the play offs. > And also Paul, despite what Bates told you/us, we all know that premier > league wages are not sustained by ticket prices. To suggest so is stupid, > to believe so is even more stupid. Has Bates EVER said that our ticket > prices are so high in order to pay premier league wages? I sent you the link from last year's YEP, what more proof do you need? Here's the paragraph again in case you missed it. In Ken We Trust - who incidentally said we had to pay premier league ticket prices to achieve premier league football not to achieve a premier inn. " income generated by season ticket holders will give us a stronger chance of building a squad good enough to win promotion to the Premier League" Ken Bates - 3.1.2011 http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/sport/leeds_united_bates_defends_seaso n_ticket_prices_1_3017144 > Having said that, what other championship club has to pay the level of rent > we do for the ground and training ground? If the rental is an issue why didn't Ken take out a mortgage and buy the properties? I'm sure a mortgage would be cheaper than the current rental, freeing up cash flow to spend on players - win,win! Glad you trust Ken with your cash _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] PETE CASS (1962 - 2011) Rest In Peace Mate
