The world knows this just mentioned on efl show but not shareholders trust members obviously board is communicating with tv hosts discuss

Mike Flynn mentioned it in an interview after the game, I read it in the Argus or Beeb. Incentives for staying in the top 2, fantastic for everyone. What's the problem?

It makes me even more excited for the prospect of a memorable season!

Presumably it will be self-funding if it results in higher attendances?

Just enjoy it ffs and stop trying to create problems and arguments. We as trust members/share holders do not need and should not know every detail. If Andrex toilet roll is used instead of Aldi own should we be consulted ? Lol

EXACTLY !!!

Love it
From Win bonus to toilet paper in six posts

A slight detour from the subject matter but when Rick Wright owned Cardiff City he had a system in place where the admission price for home games was reflected by the position of the team in the division. It struck me at the time that seemed quite a sensible approach - you pay more to see a winning side than one struggling but perhaps the economics of the system is wrong, in that with less fans attending you possibly need to charge more.

I doubt many on the forum would be against win bonuses and an increase in these win bonuses when the club is in the automatic promotion positions seems a sensible concept. Perhaps after 6 games is a little early for it to kick in but anything that has the potential to have an effect on results has to be commended.

Apologies the Rick Wright idea was mentioned because I was going to advocate the idea of a sliding scale concept for win bonuses depending on where that result puts you in the division - and then forgot to do so. However, like the economics of sliding scale admission prices, the economics is possibly again wrong. If you're at the bottom scrapping to stay up then any payments for positive results have to higher than if you're playing a "dead rubber" in mid table.

How nice (for now) we are even talking about such a thing.

Aldi's own is better than Andrex

Lidl's is even better.

A lot of teams have schemes similar to this.

I don't think overspending on bonuses is something we need to be worrying about too much. Whilst I'm delighted we're second, we haven't beaten a side this season that's currently in the top half, which makes the draw at 8th placed Exeter probably our best result, and we got humped 3-0 by the team in 7th. Looking at goal difference and the teams we've beaten and not beaten so far, we're realistically looking somewhere around 9th-11th again (which is fine). Of course if it turns out that Mansfield was the glitch then we might outperform that, but we've barely even got a positive goal difference, so let's not go nuts.

Having said that, I'd rather be us than 22 others right now.

Not that it means a lot given the table was even more embryonic than it is now, but Crewe were top of the table when we played them, on the back of a 6-0 drubbing of our nemesis side Morecambe in their first game.
