Awaywego, they walked in because the alternative was no SUFC!
Personally I don’t think the budget needs to be halved. Gate receipts, sponsorship, merchandise etc will be a lot more than 780k surely???
In previous league seasons, ticket moneys have tended to average around £1m/season. Obviously that would have been helped by bigger away followings. Sponsorship will be understandably reduced this year because of our lower status, although given we sometimes didn’t have a shirt sponsor under Swann, it will be an increase on some seasons.
But we’re probably not in a case of having to break even, I imagine we’re having to cover legacy debts, so the normal income wouldn’t be enough to cover costs in this case.
I would be fascinated to know what the situation is with all the season ticket money for this season.
