Could the Bellamy deal be self funding.

If Bellamy signs until the end of January, Cardiff have 13 home league games.

If we assume Bellamy adds 3,000 to our gate at an average of £25. If season tickets are stopped and fans have to pay per game £25 would be a realistic average from a child having a ticket to someone purchasing a premier seat.

For the 24 weeks Bellamy would be with us this extra crowd of 3,000 @ £25 would generate an average of £40,000 a week through the turnstyle alone. If you add Bellamy shirt sales and feel good factor sales that could bring Cardiff the £45,000 a week we are reportedly paying towards Bellamy's wage.

If we are paying around £30,000 a week which is what Celtic offered Man City, we could actually be making money by having Bellamy play for us.

So could the Bellamy loan signing be self funding.

If you go on the official Cardiff City website and try and buy tickets the website is down.

I dont think they would rely on all that.
