How things have changed....only £1,500,000 for a whole season!

They clearly state profit though. Are you saying they are lieing?

They would have probably been sitting or standing as is office etiquette

To put it in context though, in the year the club was last promoted to the top flight (1978/9) total income for the whole year was £979,000, less than was generated from the Liverpool game last weekend.

Doesn't really put it in context though, comparing seasonal income at 1978/9 prices with income from a single match nearly 40 years later.

They are responsible when its directly from them, like this is!

Yeah I made a right bollocks of that didn't I. Presumed it was an Argus article. You're right, very poor that the club let that out.

Mea culpa and all that.

Yet how much more money could be generated if more pop up beer stations were around.
The only way of getting a beer at half time is if you leave 10 mins before halftime.

**** me, you need to take a rest. The context is exactly what you've said: 1 game v 1 season separated by 40 years. Most of us can see it for what it is and enjoy the mild absurdity without getting het up. I find that's a good way to handle life on here.

The perfect absurdity is that I have let your dyspeptic contribution wind me up.

Physician, go heal thyself

The 1979/80 turnover @ElPres mentioned, would be £5.5m in today’s terms.

The club’s turnover for 2017/18 might be circa £140m.
