If wondering why the big difference in commercial income, West Ham have played 2,506 matches in the top flight compared to 226 by the Albion, and also have a stadium subsidised by the taxpayer on which they only pay £2.5 milion a year rent.

Thanks for that. The number that jumped out at me was wages - and the relatively small gap between us the them compared to say squad cost.

How much has their commercial income increased since they moved to the running track? Must give them a big legged up now compared to clubs of our size,

West Ham paying on average £14,000 a week more than the Albion, but expect that to increase given signings made this year at the council stadium.

£227 million of dildo sales. Wow!! Does Karen quality test them all?

15 million in interest payments to owners. Nice work if you can get it.

West Ham’s wages tor 2018/19 will be huge IMO, compared to 2016/17. They suddenly started signing ‘names’ who would be greedy.

Separately, on their forum they’re suspicious of the Boleyn Ground land sale deal. A murky chain to the ultimate beneficiaries of the huge profits from residential development. A feeling that a huge wedge of that has ended up with names close to home.

Wait to you see their 2018/19 payroll costs.

Thanks El Pres, Decent improvement for them on the commercial side.

Still don't like the ground though,Think they are moving the away end up the back from next season, rather than it being split between the front and back sections(which is awful)

West Ham? More like Wet Clam.

I hope Barber doesn't see those figures otherwise he'll start selling dildos

A BHAFC branded dildo coming (sic) to the club shop shortly

Wasn't there a dildo thrown on the pitch earlier this season? It wasn't a BHA branded one so Barber's probably on the case already.

Especially if based on the "owner investment" figure. A tidy %.

I'm guessing that loans are somewhat different to investment, though, and would be another interesting stat.

He has already tried it but ultimately there was no buyers and Kemy left on a free.

West Ham ... have a stadium subsidised by the taxpayer on which they only pay £2.5 milion a year rent.

I still can't get my head around this.

It is fascinating how the Premier league clubs handle the plastic cock issue. West Ham place them in their profit and loss wheras Palace place them behind the goal in the Holmesdale stand.
