Caskeys Lovechild Seal Caskeys Lovechild What complete, and total bullshit. 7000 extra seats bring in £5 million a year - When you take out the additional costs of running those 7000 seats, you're talking £4million tops - chicken feed - it has nothing to do with the size of the stadium.
Match attendance makes up a very very small percentage of a clubs income - whether you're Colchester United, or Manchester United.
Totally incorrect.
Match day revenue makes c.20%+ of Premier League Clubs total revenue.
Manchester Utd make £3.8m per match, about £100m a year, which is c.30% of revenue. In the case of Colchester United, it will be 30-40% of their total revenue.
Manchester United TURN OVER £3.8m per match. You think they put that match on without any costs? Stewarding, Policing, Cost of printing tickets, administration of tickets, property costs, lighting - and that's just the stuff I can think of off the cuff.....
The revenue you quote per game, is their turnover....you can't invest turnover....you can only invest profit....unless you want to go bust.
you can't invest turnover? You can only invest profit?
Here's how it works:-
1) Club makes money (from 3 keys sources - Media, Commercial, Matchday)
2) Club spends / invests money (costs, admin, salaries,
transfer fees etc etc)
3) Club has profit / loss based on 1) - 2)
Matchday is 30% of revenue, and therefore significantly impacts the signings a club can make and the profit / loss they operate at.
