We must play some games at millennium stadium

Thu Jul 11, 2013 1:13 pm

its a no brainer for me

we can only get in 27500 until the stadium increases to 38000 in a few years.

us v swans - 70,000(42500)
us v man utd 60,000(32500)
us v Liverpool 50,000(22500)
us v man city 50,000(22500)
us v chelski 40,000(12500)
us v arsenal 40,000(12500)
these are guesstimates

but in just these 6 games that's 145,000 extra match tickets sold (plus beer/food/programmes)

the club would lose money, they would have to pay silly amounts of money to use the place, beer/food would all go straight into the pockets of the millenium and plus a percantage of the ticket money would go to the millenium

PLUS IT WOULD GIVE MORE MAN UNITED ETC FANS TO HAVE TICKETS IN THE CARDIFF END, SO BIT OF A SILLY TOPIC TBH. OUR HOME IS CARDIFF CITY STADIUM NOT THE BLOODY MILLIENUM STADIUM

What a ridiculous suggestion. We need the points more than the money as the money generated from tickets in comparison to other income streams is peanuts.

Every club would love to play us at the Millenium stadium where they will be made to feel like theyre at home.

I don't think Tan will allow that!

Re: We must play some games at millennium stadium

Thu Jul 11, 2013 1:53 pm

I was told by a Cardiff blues fan that the wru charge £100,000 per match at the venue with a share of the additional beer/food/hats and scarves to both parties.so that's £600,000 in total rent


145000 extra tickets sold at £30 each is £4.35 million less rental of £600,000 leaves £3.75 million
:happy1: That's hardly small beer money.

As I said earlier. Considering we will get around £60 million for finishing bottom of the Premier League(minimum income we can get) £3 million extra in income is peanuts. We need the points more than the extra money and as has already been pointed out the CCS is our home.

I disagree. Yes, you get an atmosphere if you can fill the place, but the pitch would be far bigger than the players are used to, we'd have nearly as much if not more away than home support, and as someone has said, most other big PL teams are used to such stadia.

NO BLOODY WAY - There's enough plastic inbreds trying to get tickets for individual matches as it is - fans are what we want at home not armchair day outers!

Explain how playing a couple of games at the Millenium will make our club bigger ?

You know what would make our club bigger, if we increase our current stadium. Not by jumping ship for the big games. Terrible idea, will never happen, not viable and that is why it wont happen.

its £3.75million for £30 tickets
throw in corporate hospitality, food, beverage, programmes etc etc and the figure could eventually double or treble past £10 million

I would imagine we wouldnt get a cut of any food sold as it wouldnt be provided by the club but by either the stadium or contractors in the stadium. The Millenium stadium would also take a cut of any match day revenue made on ticket sales. They would also take the money for programmes and merchandise sold in the official shop.

So no, not going to treble at all.

if you actually bothered reading the details, I mentioned this idea is just while we are expanding Cardiff city stadium to 38000 which will take 2 or 3 years

it makes us bigger as it adds probably £10 million plus in tickets/hospitality/beer/food shares etc

plus it introduces an estimated 145000 new people to watch us, who may return what the csc is expanded.
keep up mun

add in 400 (or more) police overtime costs, costs for an additional 500 stewards, ambulance, and other auxillary workers and then the possible bad press from violence due to touting and more away fans than necessary, all around the ground.

Oh joy.

So why dont all the big London clubs play their larger matches at Wembley ?

If it made such good business and commercial sense im sure they would have jumped at the chance. Like I said, not going to happen and I dont think it would benefit the club but it would benefit the WRU.

youre totally wrong this is not how the wru operate.....they ask a rent and the ticket sales all go to the club
the food and beverage etc is divided up
we could also shift a 10,000s more jerseys at £50/60 a throw
clearly it would make us millions (possibly ten million) whilst the Cardiff city stadium is under expansion to 38000 over the next 2 to 3 yeares....and that's all good for us

obviously the same people who are against the obvious idea, were also against the red kit, this ridiculous narrow minded thinking almost lost us our backers and our premier league dream....so I will ignore their cynicism

It shows how deluded you are by thinking playing 6 games at the Millenium Stadium is going to benefit the club £10 million and 10's of thousands more shirt sales.
