Income would go up significantly maybe nearly double if we got promoted.
Main income is from gate receipts, and we would get more home and away fans in league above. If we go up admission price will go up, at a guess from £13 to £15. With the BT sport deal the league above have I should think that would be a good extra amount of income too, plus sponsorship money would go up a bit.
This season avg attendance so far is 1137 for home league matches. The first season we were in conference last time with a mid table finish avg attendance for home league matches was 1983.
Simple rough sums on the difference on gate receipts for an avg home page shows this would be about double the income. Yes, doesn't work exactly like this as some of these will be kids paying less and adults in seats will be paying more but the rough logic works.
1137 x £13 = £14781
1983 x £15 = £29745
Apart from having to pay players more I should think other additional expenses would be minimal. It would then come down to how much the club choose to increase the playing budget by. Could go full time and spend all the extra doubled income, or could stay part time and only spend 20% more.
Your figures are well adrift Lee , I am a season ticket holder who sits in the main stand , my ticket works out less than £8 per match .
I look around me and the big majority of the fans are OAPs , then you've got the kids at £2/3 a time . I would think the average admission struggles to reach £10 . Gross income = £11000k and unlike the old days we now pay the HMRC which will reduce it to about £9000k x 46 matches = £200k a year . At £15 admission I think a 2000 gate is out of our reach these days , I think we only averaged 2500 when we won the league .
Lets be positive and say our net income from games is £400,k, . Spending all the gate money on the playing budget works out 16 players on £500 a week , don't think that will produce a team to maintain a place in the NC .
