just being simplistic.
not a maths exspert.
but looking at the figers provided 8058 per match so far
brakedown as follows.
say early birds prices season tickets ect 4000 x 100 = 400,000
4058 x 15 x 13 = 611,310 ( plus magic weekend ? )
notwith standing sky contributions(1,300,000 ?),( sponerships think we are haveing best year ever yo 300,00),comunity grants (500K?)
with wage bill this year around say 1.200,000 looks great for next year and putting a great team together to realy compeat.
Looks good but how many of the 4,000 ST's sold were to juniors at £20 not £100?
This is also a guess but
2500 adults x £100 = £250,000
1500 juniors x £20 = £30,000
Walkups (bearing in mind junior ST holders at other clubs get in free, our junior support and concessions and reduced prices for certain games through Silver membership)
4,058 x £10 (average) x 13 = £527,540
So gate receipts of just over £800k
I don't know how accurate that is as it's all guesswork but would have thought it a bit closer than your figure.
Still good revenue but it's easy to see how difficult it is to predict figures as this is 20% below your figure.
When you add in the Sky money and commercial stuff it looks good but remember as well as Players salaries there is admin and coaching staff, ground staff and community work to pay for out of that if we are to be sustainable.
I guess all I'm saying is don't expect to see massive increases in the playing budget just yet.
