300 staff,really seems incredible amount if not including players etc ? Even then. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/35382031
Is it?
Can't say I've counted up, but would we be that all that far away from that sort of number?
To a certain extent, the Albion are just like many other companies. Once you add up the board/directors, ticket office, retail, ground staff (both the Amex and Lancing), office admin, e-commerce, sales & marketing, accounts, legal, IT, HR/welfare, security, coaching (from first team to junior levels), scouting, sports medicine, physiotherapy, facilities guys, AITC, catering, occasional staff, stewards & other match day sorts...it's going to add up, isn't it? I can't believe Bolton are unique.
Good stat skills
Bit below Bolton then, but still fairly substantial. I wonder what Bolton use another 40 or so staff for?
Think you might find that if you went back to, say, 2012 you would find we were employing 300 and maybe more. There has been a fair degree of rationalising in all departments of the club.
