Quote: AXE2GRIND "All I did was disprove this. £30,000,000 on the door is about £8,000,000 more than the clubs get from SKY....no PRO/ANTI wolfpack rhetoric, just cold hard data.......
clubs like Leeds, who turn over good money will still earn more on the gate than any other single avenue of funding......£3,300,000 on the gate is going to be more than any other avenue isn't it?
London only took 600k on the door last year and their #1 source was Hughes, but other than them, salford, Hudds and Wakey, the other sides all took more cash on the turnstyle than they did from SKY.....'"
It also costs more money to get that income. Top line, that’s correct, but to open the doors costs money. Banging on about away teams not bringing supporters is irrelevant. I’d rather have a progressive club with ambition getting the game coverage that an age-old plodder who bring 500 fans.
I for one will be looking forward to watching Toronto. Regardless of the away end is empty. And the media interest in them, and hundreds of pages of debate on here, proves it is worthwhile for the sport, given that they are not taking any handouts from the game.
