How do Borussia and Bayern have such good match day revenue? I thought ticket prices were capped in Germany?
And they came up with saving the 'historic North stand' and switching the exits around to make a few hundred new seats?!

They have near enough have events all the time that brings them stupids amounts of revenue.

I.e. where does food and drink fit in, is it different when it's inclusive?Matchday is what it says on the tin, what the club takes from match day, ticket sales, hospitality, cuts off the franchises selling sh*t - commercial, how is brand Aston Villa sold. Shirt deals, sleeve advertising, advertising generally, sales at club shop etc etc. If it were me, the commercial stuff is where I’d be looking - a toxic fan base moaning about ticket prices won’t help that in the short term I’d guess, so, perhaps a better “legacy fan” approach short term? But what do I know. I think you're about right, but it does feel like our stadium is holding us back a bit, which is odd to say as we all love the place. We had a good plan for sorting it and it was shelved.

Is that true 96% of income is going on salaries ! That's seriously unsustainable. Also we must have one of the highest paid squads / management in the league , it's high time they delivered a trophy ! Even a league cup !
