    Exactly...

    Let's see. Minimum price for the Premiership/Championship Playoffs Quarters and Semi is £12, and £6 for concessions and children. The host club keeps 15% of the receipts (excluding VAT), then 42.5% (including VAT) goes to the SPFL. Additionally, 50% of the PPV revenue (excluding VAT), after cost deduction to pay the broadcaster, goes to the SPFL, and the minimum PPV charge is £12 plus VAT.

    So lets try a wee bit of maths...

    8,000 fans plus 500 PPV...fans average £20, PPV at perhaps £15 (absolute guess)...that's £160,000 + £7,500 = £167,500 x .8333 (removes VAT) = £139,578 x .15 (Rovers initial cut) = £20,937 initially to Rovers for their home match costs, assuming there are no RaithTV costs to cover, but not splitting out the VAT changes and contribution variance for the PPV as it likely washes. (Note to self, VAT totals £27,922)

    Then we have £146,563 x .5 = £73,282 to the SPFL.

    So £167,500 - (£27,922 + £20,937 + £73,282) = £45,359 left, giving the Rovers a total of £20,937 + £45,359 = £66,296 from a home playoff match at those prices. Halve the prices to the minimum allowed, and we'd get all of about £33,148.

     

    Our average home attendance was 4,240...if we assume a £15 average ticket, plus 50 PPV at £10 (Raith TV is £20 a month, two home games on average), that's £63,600 + £500 = £64,100 x .8333 = £53,415 for the average home match income on a little more than half the crowd.

     

    OK, so we're having to pay increased stewarding and policing costs for nearly double the crowd, and we're charging a price that means we will make about what we make off a normal home match...and you have the balls to complain!?

    I don't really care how much we make from it. I thought it might have been a decent gesture to set prices at something like £18-£20 at the end of a season where the club have constantly been asking fans to put their hands in their pockets for one thing or another.

    Maddison wants the contact but doesn't get it, says Gary Neville, who has found the wordiest thesaurus entry for "diving c**t"

    Yeah that was as blatant a dive as you'll see. Pathetic that's it's not being called out because he's English.

    Ballantyne joined Airdrie a few days after Murray left for us so you'd imagine he was somewhat involved in his signing. I'd be happy to have him in a Rovers shirt next season.

    I noted someone put this in the Partick thread not long ago. Not sure how up to date it is.

    We should go and try and get Jack Hamilton from Livi.
