Assuming all the numbers are correct, our matchday revenues are way short of others. the North Stand extension will go some way to bridging that gap. As will event space income when the collar site is developed out.

The numbers reflect the accounts but they aren't comparing like with like with our peers.

Up to 2023, we didn't record hospitality revenue, due to the arrangement we had with the company who did the catering for that. They took the revenue, stood the costs and paid us a commission. We reported that commission as commercial revenue.

As of last year, we binned off the third party and did it ourselves. I suspect we pay a third party but that's an operational cost. The other side of the equation is that we report all hospitality revenue, which is why our matchday income increased significantly, to £71.9m from £54.5m. And we only did that part way through the financial year, so this year's figure will be higher. Let's say it'll be around £80m.

Liverpool, with a similar sized stadium, reported just under £80m so we'll be pretty similar to them. united's capacity is 75k, which is 40% more than our current capacity. Their matchday income was £136m, so pro-rata it was higher than ours but we could be getting close when the North Stand extension comes on stream.

The daft c*nt (Warnock) thinks he's actually clever and articulate because he puts on a pair of glasses.

Absolute whopper of a bloke.

Another scouse bullshitter who only got the gig as he played for the victims.
Stealing a living after a career as a no mark nobody footballer.
I guess he can always quote his 6 minutes as a substitute for England in a meaningless friendly if anyone ever questions his credentials

Waste of time mate. I complained about one from "Helen", whoever she is, probably feral scouser, that stated "City are Oily cheats" and they told me to jog on as apparently it wasn't "defamation or irrelevant"

You are probably right, just shows the lack of impartiality.

Just heard Delaney farting on sky how relevant City's case is to the Integrity of the PL With regard to Everton
I Told him the cases are different?
He insisted it was all relevant
So I finished by asking him to look as Smug as he was on Sky if City Get a result in court

City's case at CAS came down to technicalities over time barring according to Miggy on Back Pages Tonight? How is he allowed to get away unchallenged with such fundamentally untrue remarks? Do our press office completely overlook this sort of lie or is he considered to be such an irrelevance that they smile and move onto more important issues?
