Quote Call Me God="Call Me God"10,000 tickets a game at £20 a pop x 11 games is £2,200,000...add the SKY money and you have a £4,000,000 turn over, which I believe Hudgel at HKR said was the break even figure. The £20 a ticket is an average of Season tickets and more expensive walk ups.......Leeds, Wigan, Saints, Hull FC and Wire are the successful clubs by this measure with these 5 occupying the top 6 spots on a regular basis.......HKR, Castleford and Catalans aren't far away, but the other 4 clubs are nowhere near where they need to be and as such they are propped up by a minimum investment of £1,000,000 from benefactors......we're about to see what happens when a benefactor walks away as I suspect Salford are destined for the Championship or worse.....without Beaumont, Hughes, Davy, O'Connor, Argyle, Carter, Marwan et al, these "smaller clubs" wouldn't exist as a viable professional entity.....that's the flawed model.......it's fine so long as they continue, but when Hughes wavered at the end of 2013 he essentially condemned London to relegation.....what will happen to Huddersfield if Davy stopped bankrolling them?'"
Once you start factoring kids tickets into the equation, your average of £20 ticket is down to pan.
Kids season tickets are for "nothing" and usually they give admission both home and away ??
Without Sky, most clubs would be screwed and some, have become over reliant/ lazy due to the TV cash that they receive.
