WilliamG 0 Posted November 9, 2008 Hi, bored last night I done a bit of maths about how our ticket sales don''t account for our wage bill. (Quote Doomcaster on radio norfolk)Say we have 23,000 fans at every game (an underestimation) and all of these fans pay £18 each. (again many pay more, but kids pay less, as an estimate its probably on the low side)23000 people x £18 = £414,000 coming through the turnstiles per game.Lets say we have 23 games in a season, to allow for one cup game. (and ignoring friendlies, reserve football etc)£414,000 x 23 home football matches = £9,522,000 net taken at the turnstile. Is our wage bill seriously over this? If everybody employed by the club (from players to stewards and cooks) totals the better part of £10,000,000 surely the turners aim to ''remove bureaucracy'' was as flawed as their time at the club?This does not include merchandise sales, refreshment sales, programme sales, and that is just for matchdays. Where is all the money going? Can any of the delia-lovers argue with these figures? (that as i said, are probably underestimated) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WilliamG 0 Posted November 9, 2008 No i intentionally left this out - It was claimed that the turnstiles do not cover the wage billl. That is additional money - i was being kind on the board! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nuff Said 5,128 Posted November 9, 2008 Since most of the seats are season tickets, shouldn''t you divide the total season ticket revenue by the number of games to get a more accurate total? I suspect this will be significantly less. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
