City Charging West Brom fans £56

[cleavers]

@cleavers Match day income includes city square, and £3m per game over 19 league games and 3 cl games minimum would be £66m before home games in the cups and pre seasons at the etihad.

I read it as "match day income" ie on a match day, sorry was being a bit thick.

Do west brom do a subsidised scheme, maybe the club are aware of this and west brom will then subsidise accordingly.

You're right though, it doesn't make up a large part of any cl clubs income, my guess is that we're penny pinching until we get the stadium expansion finished and the sponsorship deals for the football academy signed at the worst, don't think khaldoon will renege on his promises so easily, but the truth is, right now with both forms of ffp kicking in, we do need every penny.
People quoting the bundesliga prices are missing the point, they have more academy products and a less strenous domestic calendar leading to smaller squad sizes and wage bills, they're also forced by law to keep their ticket prices low. I'm not saying these prices are acceptable, but they're not charging them to line their own pockets. Anyone think the Sheikh gives a fuck about an extra 20 k or so?

Match day income is largely gained through corporate and hospitality .

It's a joke. Whoever makes these prices up totally out of touch with the fans.

....but TV revenue is the greatest income, which makes silly match day prices like this all the worse in my opinion. Its all income at the end of the day, and match day income is generally a small part, unless you can have the corporate income of a club like united, which of course is our target.

A Monday night televised game and they are charging them £56.00, I am sorry but I wouldn't slag West Brom fans if they gave this one a miss.

We as a club get a lot if things right but are still able to fuck up on occasions.

This isn't just a trait of the current owners.

Piss poor, and I hope we get slaughtered for it (not on the pitch though!).

WestBrom should wait until it's too late or not tell us at all that they're boycotting this so that we can't then sell the seats on anyway. Leaving 2800 empty seats in the South Stand.

Ripping off fans is not acceptable. I don't care if it is my club. It's not on.

I have a big feeling SC prices are going to piss thousands off this Summer to the extent that we will become disillusioned with it in our thousands.
