But what has been spent on hotels and travel etc ?

Free season tickets next year then as a thank you

I don’t think it would be possible to come out of it without making a huge profit, unless Tony has been buying the hotels we’ve been staying in…

Let's say we take 40 people at a cost of 3 grand a head, that'd be 120k so far. Not much of a dent in the winnings.

 

[Bozza]

Alexa, how much does a monorail cost?

 

[Stat Brother]

Carry on at this rate and in the summer we'll be able to start building a new stand.

40? There must have been 40 admin staff alone at the ticket pick up in Athens. More like 100 I reckon.

 

[227 BHA]

Plus gate receipts, hospitality, merchandise, advertising, sponsorship etc I’d imagine it’s way higher than that?

 

[Milano]

There would be the profit from at least 4 sold out home games too. Did I read somewhere that a sold out home game clears about £1m profit for BHA?

 

[drew]

Plus matchday income for the games. Does anyone know how gate receipts are distributed? In the EPL, I believe the home team keeps all receipts apart from paying the expenses of the away team. In domestic cup competitions there is an equal split less about 10% to the organiser, eg FA.

There must be so many unsung admin staff we never get to hear about who make all this stuff run like clockwork. Probably worthy of a documentary in their own right. Total respect for their work

 

[portslade seagull]

Thanks El Pres was wondering this on another thread. Thought it was around 10m but forgot the TV

Thai noodles here we come.

It'll be a lot more than 40. Mate and I were discussing this on Thursday after OM took over the East Sussex Golf Club hotel. We reckon on the following for BHA-
25+ players
10+ manager & staff
15+ backroom staff (kit etc)
25+ fan support staff at ticket office & ground.
3+ Tony Bloom (he may stay elsewhere and pay his own way)
The playing staff all fly out on the Tuesday and return on the Thursday after the match I believe.
The fan support staff fly out on the Wednesday morning also returning Thursday post match.
There are also trips in advance to check the hotel, ground and ticketing details.
For the home games there's the loss of advertising revenue (do we get a percentage of the UEL adverts?), extra police and stewards and the loss of 100's of seats. Away fans get charged a maximum 40€ for a ticket, which is handy as that's more than the STH price.

MORE IMPORTANT
Is the cost to us fans. Mine is somewhere around £2800 but includes a week in Athens with the wife. And worth every Euro I've spent.

Ok, let's say we take 240 staff at 4 grand a head. It's still less than million a trip, leaving us with a healthy profit.

To quote Tony Hancock "240, that's almost a plane full"

Most of which slithers through the club into the pockets of the players.
