Sky Sports Breaking News: “Spurs close to signing De Zerbi”. That is NOT breaking news. Breaking news would be “Spurs sign De Zerbi”.

Up The Cherries In All Depts
@UTCInAllDepts
#AFCB fan since mid '60s. Only talk about us on here and only to our fans. “If you can’t say something kind….” There WILL be typos.

@trickster_afcb Yes. After 5 mins I was worried what the score might be but they worked hard to get back in control. The 1st team would have been proud of that 3rd goal.
English
@UTCInAllDepts Crewe were impressive, we played in spells but got the job done eventually
English
Enjoyable U21 game today against a decent Crewe side. 3 good goals scored; 2 disappointing ones conceded. They hit the woodwork twice. Our keeper made 1 outstanding save; theirs 3 or 4. Our late winner was a great move stemming from a quick throw deep in our own half. #afcb

@CherryfanC Whatever floats your boat. I’ve been going since the mid ‘60s and only ever been interested in watching the actual football. Even a half time cup of tea is not worth the risk of missing any of the action. Never leave before the final whistle.
English
I love #afcb dearly. I went as a boy with my Dad to enjoy Bovril in the old wooden main stand. I’m just wondering if I would ever go for an “à la carte” dining experience. For a variety of reasons, personally, I think not.

@CherryfanC I hope so. I’m feeling very pessimistic for some reason. The phrase “been here before” springs to mind. I just hope the council will really support the club. I don’t trust politicians to do what’s right.
English
Feels like #afcb stadium plans and my season ticket isn't going to happen. Very disappointing. afcb.co.uk/news/2026/marc…
English
@PhilStirling My big fear is that it doesn’t happen at all and the owners sell up because of lack of local authority support.
English
@UTCInAllDepts Another season of the Tuesday 10am shuffle, how annoying!
English
@KeithBrewe58044 what happened to all your followers and your usual id?
English
@afcb_r0b Is ‘10% over the 85% threshold’ 95% or 93.5%?
(Asking for a pedantic number nerd friend!) 😂
English
Now that is a small but good step for clubs like #afcb. But it doesn’t half make my spreadsheet more complicated…

Premier League agree to amend SCR rules, with compliant clubs to be permitted spend up to 10% over the 85% threshold every third year. | The Guardian theguardian.com/football/2026/…

@afcb_r0b Thanks. Sorry I missed the small print in my phone in the sunlight!

@UTCInAllDepts Matchday income defined as Ticketing + Hospitality
For 2024/25 it was £11.4m (for all matches at DC) as per Cannae Shareholder statement.
Productivity definition given under each chart.
English
Cannae release a #BKFC presentation pack for shareholders. A fairly long read. No real surprises.
Confirms Auckland FC as an affiliate
Significant #afcb revenue growth across the board
> Ticketing up 27%
> ST renewals @ 98%
> 95% sales of hospitality

@afcb_r0b Does £48 per seat equate to about £550k per match or £10m a season? Is the £48 ticket price plus food/drink plus merchandise?
What is ‘productivity’ in this case?
English
Ahead of the release of #AFCB accounts & using the financial data released in the Cannae Shareholder statement, it would seem that there's been a chunky increase in:
> Dean Court productivity ⬆️ 17% to around £1000/seat
> Matchday productivity ⬆️ 12% to around £48/spectator
English
@afcb_r0b It’s bliss. I enjoyed the Newcastle game without Shearer.
English
I’d forgotten just how good football without commentary is on Prime TV 👏👏👏
English
Next #afcb home game is United so, of course, they are trying to unsettle one of our key players. Let’s hope he shows them just how good he is.
English
@afcb_r0b @stokecity Huh? Just putting your post into context. I’m sure if we regularly had empty seats (even in our tiny ground) we’d freeze prices too. Remember we froze them for 7 years with a full ground and many unable to get tickets.
English
@UTCInAllDepts @stokecity My the bluebird of happiness shit on your birthday cake too 🤣
English
As PL clubs start to release season ticket pricing for 2026/27 season, here's a reminder of who charged what over the past 5 years for their LOWEST priced standard GA season ticket (compared with inflation)...
English
@afcb_r0b @stokecity Very laudable but worth noting they have ~8,000 empty seats every game. They’ve not filled it once since getting relegated. Not even for cup matches.
English
...and in contrast, bravo @stokecity for freezing ST prices for a 19th (NINETEENTH) consecutive season 👏

I enjoyed this. Interesting who he picks as the best player developed at #afcb.
It would be good to see him score again before he hangs up his boots. I’ll never forget the goal v Everton in the 3-3. Not only kickstarted the comeback but also our Premier League experience.

VAR about to wipe out all four Burnley goals. Game’s gone!
English
@afcb_r0b That’s ok. I just didn’t fancy no roof during the rainy-est part of the season. With rain on my specs I can see sod all.
English
@UTCInAllDepts I think in an earlier interview JF said there will be a roof next season but it might not be there for the start.
English
I found this interesting (esp. last 3 mins!) Granted I'm not having to move seat like 'the 600', though it's likely some of that 600 will choose my usual spot in the South Stand so indirectly I am affected.
Only question not asked was "will there be a South Stand roof?" #afcb
