Cost of last minute postponement

[Winchesterfan]

What would todays postponement cost the club apart from loss of ticket income?
Pay for:
Stewards,
programme sellers,
cleaners,
security
bar staff
food staff
All will still have to be paid I imagine

Add to that
Policing costs
Food wasted
Loss at club shop
Programme sales

Total must be many thousands of pounds most of which is unrecoverable from the match when rearranged.

At the very least the club that postponed should reimburse the opposition for all costs incurred if postponement is within 48 hours of KO.

what league rule does that come under ?

what league rule does that come under ?

It doesn’t because it makes too much sense.

[Winchesterfan]

That’s my point there are no rules for this but there should be.

When it comes to programme sales what usually happens is the programmes are tied over to the rearranged game .Obviously the date on the programme will be wrong but that's no big deal.

Classy as always, good to see somethings don’t change.

I haven’t posted for a while because of the ganging up/ multi alias sadness of the place. In my opinion It’s a sad/bad reflection on Leyton Orient this place, when it used to be quite decent as well. Shame

Reduced crowd = reduced sales quite a big deal

How do you know that its a reduced crowd ? can yougimme lotto numbers ?

[Stowaway]

Simple. Today would have been a decent gate - I was bringing along a couple of extra bums on seats myself. The rearranged fixture will be on a Tuesday evening in Jan/Feb with a most Rovers fans unable to travel down on a work day, and a good number of O’s fans unable to make it too. We’d easily lose a couple of thousand on the gate.

Also, the Supporter’s Club will have lost out on a fair bit too - all that ale going to waste, they’re not part of the Club itself so they’ll have to take the loss on the chin too. This is all really poor form from Rovers, I’m afraid.

Yes , You're quite correct . I was only thinking about the printing of programmes .I was forgetting it will now be a Tuesday night game so a smaller crowd with less programme sales .I can't even make midweek games myself due to work commitments . I had the Newport and Bristol Rovers games lined up to go to and now I have to miss both games thanks to work . That's life I suppose.

Let's be honest here Tuffers, midweek games usually have a smaller attendance than Saturday's.

True. I feel sorry for our supporters who have to travel a great distance to get to home games . I salute their love and commitment to the club .

I am a match day steward. We have to be at BR at 11.30-12.00 but lots arrive earlier not to be late. I had already left & paid train fare £18.40 & was at Oxford Circus when we got the news (same time as fans). Doubt if we will get paid - it is casual work etc.
