SUFC: The Future SUFC up for sale

[Mr Browns Ghost]

There will be fans from northern club, might want to book hotel in the stadium for their away games, I am sure hotel will be fully booked 100% for club with big followings.

Ebbsfleet flyde etc

Don't see why not. Going to be running all the other events and hospitality, events is a large part of Kinura Performance's offering, and its easy enough to put someone in to run the hotel and events side.

It would be very difficult to run a successful hotel at FF without it being attached to a brand and loyalty scheme. There is nothing nearby, there are no rail links, there are no restaurants, there is no golf course, there are no garden grounds.

I would imagine similar to Silverstone/Coventry/MK/Rose Bowl hotels, the stadium owners restrict the use on match days / have the ability to use it free of charge or at a low charge that is factored into the lease agreement with the operating company.

Basically, what I'm saying is, the occupancy of the hotel will not matter - the club just have to ensure they sell the lease for a few years to an investment company for a decent amount.

 

[Mr Browns Ghost]

It's not just that. It’s the ability to hold concerts, weddings and multiple-day events like conferences and conventions, etc. and keep the people attending them and more of their spending on site.

Just think how much the home office pay for hotel rooms now too … we could be ****ing rich

Give it a rest. Who are you going to transfer your animosity to when he's gone?

Hopefully, if The Shrimpers can finally be rid of Ron’s toxic regime, there will be no need to have feelings of animosity toward anyone at all. Have you forgotten what has become of us under his tenure ? For anyone who loves this club, as so many do, I could totally understand feeling animosity to the person that took us to the bottom of the barrel….. and beyond !!
On a personal level, I hope Ron finds fulfilment, love and joy………….but just not with SUFC.

It matters not whether your name is Ron Martin, or, something else, but if you continually spend more money than you can afford you eventually have none.

Football supporters may not like you or appreciate you much while you are spending the money, but, for sure they will hate you once it runs out.

New owners take note.

Isn't this just simple economics. You can't keep things that you can't afford.

Ron's not popular in many other areas outside of football.

But with the buying and selling who is in the chain ? Rumours are everywhere. The 22k stadium will be one of the seven wonders

You can thank Covid for that

& I presume the covid-decline of the airport was one of the reasons the hotel was written out. It might be viable, who knows, but not the sure thing it was before. With Seaway looking increasingly unlikely the position may be better than it was a year or so ago.

Sure - they will each take one of the seats in the big slopey things situated around the grassy area in the middle.

Where will the other 8,000 people sit?.

For those that haven't been look up Rotherham's stadium.

 

[rigsby]

I’m not saying you’re wrong, but I’m intrigued what maths leads to £5m revenue from a 100 room hotel?

If we say the average price is £70/night, then £70 * 100 rooms * 365 days a year * 50% occupancy is £1.27m by my maths.

Maybe I’m underestimating the price of hotel rooms or expected occupancy but even with more ambitious estimates the hotel rooms alone don’t seem to come to that total.

Home office contract means £245 per night with 365 day occupancy = £89,245 per room x100 = £8,924,500.

Allow 20% running costs would give profit of about £7m.

Wondering if the UK winner of the Euromillions jackpot (112m) is a Blues fan?

Is Nash ruled out now? I’m still hoping Stevie nicks it…

Maybe someone who is withholding their name has something to say about the deal?

Slowly increasing routes and pax. If Esken actually sell to someone who knows how to treat potential carriers then it could be back up to pre covid levels in no time. Flying from Southend is a real joy and so much more can be done

Let's keep it to the topic please.
