Reports in suggesting how much each championship club has lost over lockdown...

With so many clubs teetering on financial instability and an inevitable 2nd wave coming, how long do we reckon can the club actually survive without fans?

Who says a second wave is inevitable?

All the idiots who won’t abide to the social distancing rules!

TH has undertaken to fund the club during the period that games have to be played behind closed doors and there is no income from gate receipts.

I doubt Leeds, West Brom and Fulham will give a shit about £5 million or so given what they have coming.

is that assuming every person in the ground buys a pint, pie and programme to get those numbers? If so, the figures will be nowhere near the real figures and are complete guesswork

It also looks like this ‘analysis’ ignores any changes cost, and doesn’t account for things like PNE not refunding gate receipts... I.e. it’s utter bollocks

I don't think anyone expects the numbers to be right, just indicative.

They've listed the assumptions used to come up with the numbers so I can't see any better way of doing it personally.

If you think the numbers are wrong, then stop whinging and do the sums based on your assumptions.

PNE’s lost income:
4 home games x 5,000 non ST fans x £15 average price (account for concessions etc) = ~£300k lost gate receipts.

Match day income reduced by, say £100k (being generous and assuming the average stadium profit is £2 per fan per game - as I think most/all is done through concessions.

Given we were on Sky a lot in the final 9 games I’m not sure we’ll have lost other income from advertising...

So I reckon the worst case is £400-500k lost income to date. Against that remember PNE will have made a fair bit of cash from folk paying £10 to watch the games on iFollow, extra TV money from Sky, and have saved money on stewarding, policing, ticket office costs etc etc as I’m sure none of the casual staff will have been paid for match day shifts that didn’t take place...

Net I reckon £250k down tops. Different story next season without ST income though.
