Needing £500k

[Amesbury Saint]

It has been said that the club needed £500k to see out the season.

 

Does anyone know how this was arrived at?

 

If for the last 3 home matches we averaged 25,000 = 75,000

Less ST holders 9,000? =27,000

Net =48,000

Assume average ticket price of £10 (lots of offers ATM) = £480,000

 

So problem almost solved?

 

Or did they assume an average crowd of 18,000 in arriving at the £500,000

So an addition 7,000 per match £210,00

Short £290,000

 

So how was the £500K arrived at?

I'd assume that it's £500k more then normal, could be wrong though. But if it is and we assume we normally make £200k from a match, including food and drink. Then we would have to make an additional £150-200k per match.

 

As for the Charlton match, assuming an average ticket price of £10, probably slightly higher though, and around 18,000? non-season ticket holders, that's 180,000. Assuming a few more beers and pies were sold, we might have made a bit more then normal, also a bit more from the shop.

 

Doesn't seem like a dramatic increase in income though, unless it is £500k overall not just additionally. Maths could be wrong though.
