From the WAB broadcast, worth mentioning on here our budget this season roughly comes from the following sources: 55% From the Football League fund from advetising etc 10% Commercial Activities 31% Admissions inc season tickets / match day tickets Remainder hope we can generate from other activities e.g. a cup run!
Nothing for net proceeds on transfer activity? If not then there's an obvious question regarding the sale of Shackell so early into the budget period (I assume this runs from start of season to end), although this may have been more of a cost reduction decision. However, I'd have thought it would have been anticipated when the budgets were revised. It'd be interesting to benchmark this against other Championship clubs, if reliable data was available. Presumably Commercial Activities includes the club shop so it'd be interesting to know how that compares to clubs of a similar size to ours.
Be interesting if he could tell us how many STs we would need to sell at a discount rate eg Huddersfield centenary type offer to match this years income from ST sales? I believe he gave an answer like a politician when asked.
Surely that would be easy to work out? I've had too many glasses of wine tonight to be the man in charge, but don't we just take 6,000 (assuming an additional 1,500 are kids) and multiply by the full price, and then and multiple 12,000 by the price we think it should be and 3,000 by the adults and kids price (which is free - obviously). That then lets you know the profit difference?
