What money goes to Whelan

Post by FROM A TO B »

In my bid not to line that leeches pocket (due to how he has treated the club recently), does anyone know what areas contribute to Whelco and what goes to the club?

Bar takings - Whelco
Golden Gamble - club
Programmes - ?
Food inside the ground - whelco
Car parking around the ground - ?
Replica kit - club(as long as not bought from JJB)

anything else?

I would think that the programme money and advertising revenue from the programme goes to the club but don't know about the carparks.

There was a thread like this on rlfans a while back and I believe the food and beverage takings are NOT going to DW.

It's some sort of franchise and the franchisee does if I recall correctly fund the club in some way. Could be via sponsorship or something can't quite remember.

True, the kiosk holders pay Dave a fixed fee to operate the kiosks, not sure if they are tied to pooles or what, but stopping buying food and drink will have negligable impact on dave

You would always risk throwing the baby out with the bathater. You don't buy pies the stallholders don't open. Whatever you do will have little impact on DW. As already stated he creams the money of the top, you give yours to the bottom feeders. He will ill always be on top. Like the proverbial he floats. You hurt one bottom feeder he will just replace it. The net he will just cast wider. Jim

Money raised from having an 0871 number for the ticket office? (calls cost 10p per minute from a BT landline, call costs from mobiles may vary)
