[Albion] Match Day Income

[schmunk]

It could be the price of tea?

Illicit under-the-counter bottletop sales...

When I went on the tour several years ago, they said they had a lot of exclusive boxes on 5 and 10 year deals that were ridiculously cheap once we'd reached the Premier. I assume those packages are now being coated more shrewdly now.

I've heard a stat that we have the 7th highest average matchday income in the league which considering our capacity is quite impressive. Our huge capacity for hospitality is a key factor in this.

Ultimately the matchday income is only a pinch of our annual income

We were 11th in the Covid curtailed 19/20 according to http://priceoffootball.com/brighton-2019-20-reel-around-the-fountain/

Has anyone seen the "half and half " scarf sales people around the stadium , thinking back I cant recall seeing them for the pre covid season either

Wouldn't be allowed to. Its all private land. Not like most other clubs and Wembley who have streets and paths to the ground which are council owned and the clubs can't enforce rules.

I've definitely seen them by Falmer station when you come up the subway from the university, not seen any this season though.

A new local bye law slipped under the radar during Covid, making it a CAPITAL offence to buy or sell Half and Half scarves. Some people thought this was a bit draconian but I welcomed it in order to crack down on the surging numbers of plastic fans. In fact, I don’t think the law goes far enough…

In the pre-covid days I seem to remember our matchday income was about £1m a match. It was in an article/interview of some kind with Barbs where he was very happy about it as apparently it was good for a stadium our size.

(Note that is the income they make on match days, not TV money but shop sales/catering/tickets/hospitality etc)

I wonder what the expenditure is?

 

[chaileyjem]

Email Barbs, ask him for an accurate breakdown.

No need. It’s all in our annual accounts.
