with 17,000 plus

season tickets sold next year ( Bristol City are going nuts because they have sold 10,800), can you think of how the club will generate additional cashflow next year?

4,000 walk up, plus programmes etc £120,000 x 23 games

Merchandise - no idea, £200,000 per season ?

Match Sponsorship - £500,000 ?

I am sure the club would have made at least £200,000 from the concert last night.

I would say we would need to sell a player or two to bring in an additional £2million.

Joff, I think its a fantastic basic crowd for us to start with at every home game, We should beat This Seasons Average

I'll be a walk up customer....

There was a great finacially succesful idea from Alaves -(Spain).

They had all the season ticket holder names printed onto thier away shirt. At a distance theshirts looked like they had thin lines, but on close inspection every ticket holders name was printed as white text.

This idea has ben adopted by many clubs, including Sheffied united -
