Taken from 1FF

Notts County lost £1.5m last year and currently losing £30k pw this season. Plus owe £4.3m to parent company.

Coventry lost £1.1m last year.

Chesterfield lost £506k last year.

FGR lost £2.48m last year (wage bill £2.4m). Losing £46k pw.

Luton lost £1.6m last year. Previous season losses £0.7m, £1.4m and £2.9m.

Lincoln made a £1.3m pre tax profit last season due to cup run and increased attendances.

Wonder what our accounts will be like ? Above shows what we are up against.

They also want to sign Joey Barton for next season.

Don't they have a business "plan" where they aim to break even in about 5 years' time?

Yes, I remember reading something that included knocking down a stand and replacing it with flats apartments, restaurants or a hotel overlooking the pitch to initially fund a new training complex, incredibly a big club like Notts county do not own one. I think he used Leyton Orient as an example.

Great City centre stadium. Hope they look after it !

They could always sell it and share with Forest ?

How would 'primacy of fixtures' work, if two FOOTBALL clubs share?....both would be required to have primacy surely?

All these businesses losing money every week yet still trading. I can only assume their bills are getting paid on time, because if not, then surely they should be made insolvent, and isn't trading while insolvent illegal?

Quite simple really. When Nott'm Forest are at home, Notts County play away and vice versa.

Yes, there is an exception to the primacy of fixture regulation where two Clubs share.
