Remember when they stated the desire to pull in 6,000,000 per annum to the area?

30 home games at 60,000 is 1.8m, concerts another 1m - they would be half way there!

Someone ages ago suggested that each Take That concert was worth £1m to the club, that was with a smaller stadium and predominantly female audience drinking champagne and Pimms. But the maths is fairly simple 60,000 tickets sold with the club retaining just £10 from each one and £6.66 profit from food, drink and merchandise would hit the £1m. I would image the club leases the stadium for a set fee so gets its target regardless of number of tickets sold

The only good thing about the new shirts is the £120 I will save on not buying one each for the junior blues...

But back on topic, I'm tempted to drive by tomorrow and see the new logos going on.

I agree. I meant the figure sounds reasonable given how many are at games.

Road closure in place from 10.30pm this Saturday, presume the new badge will go on the footbridge during that closure

I think he meant the figure was wrong 200 shirts at £100k means they're £500 a top

How will Brexit affect City's stadium development plans? Any risk that these plans are put on a backburner until after Britain has really left?

Pretty unlikely as far as I see it.
