I guess they expect Bournemouth will win their games. Was stupid though.
 
FC United members have decided that season tickets will be "pay what you can afford" next season with a £100 minimum price.
 
Lokeren defender Gregory Mertens condition has deteriorated following his collapse on the pitch in a reserve team game on Monday. He is now in a coma, and is on a life support machine. Terribly sad news, and puts a game of football into perspective.
 
Given the amount of money in the Premier League, what percentage of a clubs revenue comes via the turnstiles?
 
Hoeness said: "We could charge more than €130 (£104). Let's say we charged €380 (£300). We'd get €2.5m (£2m) more in income, but what's €2.5m to us?"

"In a transfer discussion you argue about the sum for five minutes. But the difference between €130 and €380 is huge for the fans."

For Premier League clubs I think it is insane, and I think a club like West Brom (and ourselves), if they charged only £100, they'd surely see a lot more take up the offer and would attract more fans, and help increase their fan base and give them reason to potentially increase their ground's capacity.
 
If Wolves looked to achieve 25,000 season ticket holders next season at what price would they attract that number?

Deloitte's report suggest that matchday revenue varies between 24-31% for the top clubs (7th and above) but as low as 13% for the clubs relying on broadcasting revenues. I thought it would be the other way round but I guess European competition and transcontinental revenues (far east, Americas) are much bigger than we think.

Just for parity (2012 figures) the last season in the PL our matchday revenue was approximately 12.5% of our total revenue.

Does seem a bit strange that the top clubs have a larger percentage through gate receipts.

Though I suppose Arsenal are going to be charging a lot more for the 60000 that rock up at the Emirate than Burnley are for the 20000 that come to Turf Moor, so that could well outweigh the extra revenue from European football to alter the percentage, suppose the corporate stuff at the very top clubs is on another level too, God knows what the price difference is between having a box at those two clubs.

I think it's European competition, friendlies abroad and, as you point out, the corporate packages on match days. I didn't expect those figures.

I'm surprised too, originally I'd have thought the extra TV money from Europe and extra commercial income from being such a big brand would far outweigh the extra cash from the bigger stadium but apparently not, suppose it shows why Arsenal were so keen to move from Highbury to gain that extra income, now you've got Liverpool and Tottenham looking to do similar, there's definitely money to be made for clubs that size.
