On Thursday, the Lahti Pelicans secured their place in the league by pouring the Jokers in the fifth qualifying match.
The Pelicans won the qualifying round 4-1.
The victory of the qualifying series brought relief to the spooky season of the Lahti people. The previous two silver teams set off for the season with a high team, but in the end even the league spot was threatened.
The Pelicans cashier has been in crisis for a long time. The payment behavior report dated on Thursday at the debt collection company Intrum reveals that the club has an open payment of almost € 75,000.
The Pelicans is a five -digit amount upright for three different companies.
For the first time in November 2023, Iltalehti reported on the Pelicans’ cash crisis, and the situation has still not stabilized. Payments have long been paid late, after which the new matches have been banged again.
Due to the cash crisis, the Playout series against Jukuri and the Jokerit qualifying series were, in a way, even facilitating things for the Pelicans. This gives the team more home games and income.
– Yes, they mean. It has started to start the games. These have had a big impact. These will appear in the last numbers when the financial year is completed, the Pelicans CEO Lauri Pöyhönen Said MTV’s TV interview in Thursday’s Jokerit game.
Pöyhönen did not yet speculate on the Pelicans’ financial year.
– I’m not going to open the figures yet. The target was a bit of the same turnover as last year. We built a valuable team, which means that the top row should be at the same level and that no loss should be done in these things.
Lahden Pelicans Oy’s net sales for the period 2023-24 were EUR 8.256 million. The loss for the financial year was over EUR 340,000.
At Group level, net sales were EUR 12.2 million and the loss was just under EUR 70,000.
