It all depends on "how much" MNF is worth as part of the TV deal?

I showed how in 2010 the clubs could argue against MNF based on the potential to lose $360k a game based on a 4k average shortfall in fans at $45 a ticket with another $45 spent on residuals.
2009 figures show:
192 regular season games, 3084,481 fans at 16,065
24 MNF games, 313, 629 fans at 13,068
168 non MFN games, 2770,852 at 16,493.

so, about 3,500 fans at $45 a ticket and $45 residual...potential for $315k a game revenue loss or $7.5 million and change a season or 7.5% of the deal...which I believe if you break down roughly and extract cash for SOO et al, is $500k a game.

Clubs (and their CEO's) can't have it both ways......without TV they wouldn't get the fanbase (sad social comment...but alas now true) and if they are required to cough up $450k a year out of ticket revenue to secure $6,000,000 a year in TV income then so be it.

you can only go on corresponding fixtures and reality is Sth's or Bulldogs did no worse from MNF last year.

as I said, mickles and muckles. The CEO's will use the figures that I did....showing that the average gate at a MNF game is 4k less than the ones played on Fri/Sat/Sun.

which is individually irrelevant if you only play one MNF game and your crowd is larger!

3 words... Conflict of interest.
