In the world of football the difference between charging £28 and £20 and cashing in on away fans is just so insignificant and would have no bearing at all on keeping players or not. Players would be sold anyway.
4700 villa fans and 500 Latics fans at £28-00 is around £150,000.
4700 villa fans and 1000 Latics fans at £20-00 is around £110,000.
A difference of £40,000. Can't argue a shortfall indeed but so insignificant in the football world.
8500 Season Tickets at £12-00 for the match equates to around £102,000. A pittance really.
Income is generated or should be from decent sponsorship deals for stadiums, shirts, sell on clauses, TV, advertising and for clubs like us unfortunately selling players irrespective of ticket sales.
Fans basically pay too much because of players wages and costs plus agents fees and the massive amount of money that seems to have to be spent on the circus of running a football club these days.
Now don't get me wrong it's not Latics I am getting at but football in general.
