Never to the dark side Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 Just done a few calculations hope my maths is okay home and away play off final say we take all our 20,000 gate money @ 15 pounds = 300,000 a failed final at 35,000 city fans at 20 quid each 700,000 total for the failure ONE million pounds First division lets not run away with the fact that it will be full houses. Thier will be a lot of crowd pullers but also a lot of pooh Maybe an extra 5,000 each match for the entire season 23 times = 115,000 @ 15 quid each = one and three quarter million So we could get an extra three quarter of a million pounds for moving up a division not taking into account the extra wages maybe its better to be a towards the top of the second division side that the top side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfc seattle Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 you do get more telelvision money in D1 and get a bye into 3rd round of the cup (better chance to pull a money making trip to Anfield, then off to Old Trapford). Not to mention we would have a chance to get to the promise land of real big money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the TV money, sponsorship, prize money etc are all better in the first. I don't think there can be any argument with that and the increased gates, ticket prices and season ticket prices thrown into the equation that being in the first is by far and away the most financially beneficial position to be in.

Guest exiledred Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 basing our income only on ticket sales is very naive. the major benfit of div 1 is a massive increase in tv reveneue. not to mention all the other commerical benefits. ticket sales are only part of the picture.
