Awful though unsurprising statistic.

My problem was with your reasoning, namely that because you're making a profit without any fans you stop caring about making more profit by keeping the fans happy. I suspect gross incompetence rather than not caring about fans.

Monday night isn’t it?

 

Well yes the OP was a tad simplistic looking back but it was more about the wider subject as well, and this as just more evidence on something most people knew (or suspected) anyway.

 

What Brighton? That's the home one in a couple of weeks.

Or do you mean Wolves? That will be definitely be Saturday 3pm I believe.

 

If the stadium wasn’t full they would. Not saying it’s right. Just supply and demand. Frozen season prices is at least a small step in that direction

I think achieving a £30 max on Away tickets was amazing considering but probably just supply and demand again when some fans boycotted games where the piss was being taken

 

But the clubs most depedant on ticket sales are the top 4. Secret to breaking through- big stadium and fill it. Spurs will now make more money from their ticket sales to add to the trillions made from the PL.

 

Nah it's more the merchandise and corporates which bring in more at the big clubs.

 

Really? 60k stadium playing 19 games a season. Average ticket say 37? 42 million a year on tickets alone.

 

I think having and filling a large stadium and global reach and therefore corporate and marketing tend to go hand in hand
The top 5 are all similar in this respect except their is no common rule book for declaring revenues so ther are some anomalies e.g. we declare higher Match income than Everton and almost as much as Spam; Man City Match revenue is low for a large stadium

Interesting to see Newcastle figures for last season as they have a large stadium and less global reach

I'd still wager that corporates and merchandise contribute considerably more.

 

Careful mate,you may be right but as we all can see you're not very good with bets.

Seems like two months already!

 

In the article you linked in the OP, only Everton and Spurs would have made a profit without ticket sales out of the traditional big clubs.

 

I thought it referred to merchandise etc too.

 

Ah didn’t realise it was the home game.
I hope to still be in Spain then

 

It depends what graph you look at as it keeps switching between ticket sales and match day income. Either way it will only be stuff that's sold on the day at the stadium so bigger stadium and more tickets sold means more of that too.

 

Fair enough mate, presumably corporate will be included in ticket sales? I know that's where Liverpool struggled before the new stand compared to Chelsea .

 

We played 27 home games that season btw.
