FOOTBALL IS NOT LIKE GOING TO THE FUCKING THEATRE
FUCK ME

Ditto and a richer club than us Manure, raising prices for the second successive season.That club of the people, Liverpool, raise ticket prices for the second successive season.
How dare they.
haha, this really is just sourness on tap.I disagree.
Why should somebody get a discount simply because of their age? They are utilising the same services etc.
As the club pointed out - the % of ‘senior citizens’ with concession tickets has risen 4 fold in the 5 years we’ve been in the new stadium.
It either becomes a burden on the club, or - a cost to the rest of the fanbase to fund any concessions.
People get old, retire - and adjust their lifestyle to match their budget.
Going to the football is a luxury, not a need.
Do you not go to both to be entertained? The only difference is one crowd is encouraged to be loud and the other isn't.FOOTBALL IS NOT LIKE GOING TO THE FUCKING THEATRE

Because some people are just mean spirited and miserable. Right now it's horseshit about demographics or whatnot but the reality is, if you apply that to one thing, it's the beginning of doing it for everything else.What's all the chat about OAP concessions got to go with Tottenham Takeover Talk
I'd say the chances of that are zero.Would any takeover or new investment result in reduced ticket prices or concession discounts being reversed, highly unlikely , Levy/ENIC might be looking for new equity but Levy is here for the foreseeable.
haha, this really is just sourness on tap.
Presumably you feel the same way about Bus Passes, restaurants doing an OAP special, discounts on a TV licence, winter fuel payments, free eye tests and a whole heap of other concessions.
After all, why should they get a discount simply because of their age? I guess they should adjust their lifestyle to suit their budget.
I bet you're proper in demand at Christmas eBENeezer
Unironically yes. A lot of these things are just outdated. Some make at least some sense - bus passes help with loss of mobility and discourage people from continuing to drive when they can't do so safely any more, fuel allowances are justified since it's more dangerous for their homes to be cold. But the general attitude of things being cheaper for older people is a relic of a time when older people were near-universally fairly poor, rather than one where they're on average better off than the rest of us.haha, this really is just sourness on tap.

I mean, you must surely see that things like transport, health, food and warmth are more important than going to watch the footie?haha, this really is just sourness on tap.

A lot depends on how they structure any investment.My query is what would a minority shareholder gain from investing in us?
For example, if an oil tycoon comes in and purchases 25% of ENIC’s shares. Aside from throwing some money towards new players and helping the team challenge, what way would they benefit?
I can only assume that a 25% stake would cost a hell of a lot (going by reported valuations of the club) and would the investment include the property portfolio that ENIC own too?
My guess is that potential investors would be from companies seeking naming rights and marketing benefits.
Given that we have now got a world class stadium, training ground and revenue coming in from various other channels, how would a potential investor actually make money from their purchase and likely investment in players?
You could pick them out in the Anfield crowd last night. Sitting in bottom part of main stand. All with brand spanking new scarves. Lovely.American owners and that’s why Anfield is like a library most of the time now just like all Premier League grounds
Most legacy supporters that made noise have either been priced out, become fed up with the sterile nature of the game these days - or both!
Did they not already do this with a Sub Division of shares back in December 2022?A lot depends on how they structure any investment.
Simplified:
If they are looking to increase Capital then it would probably not be ordinary shares - purely selling existing shares does not increase capital and the issue of new ordinary shares would dilute ownership as well as reduce the individual share value (dependent on how they are valued, and it would appear that market share capitalisation for Tottenham is substantially lower than Levy values the business).
It is far more likely that they would issue preference shares (generally - Cumulative preference shares, Noncumulative preference shares, Convertible preference shares, Participatory preference shares, or Redeemable preference shares). Preference shares tend to be more secure as an investment and have conditions applicable, but don't provide the investor with any power or voting rights, so they often appeal to silent partners or corporates that want a good but safe return on their money.
