How do Borussia and Bayern have such good match day revenue? I thought ticket prices were capped in Germany?

Bit of a myth.  Cheapest seating ticket is 40 Euros.  Most tickets more than that.

And they came up with saving the 'historic North stand' and switching the exits around to make a few hundred new seats?!

I guess it depends on whether you think we're done and have no more plans or if you think they were short term, quick wins whilst we had our first season in the Champions League.

Getting better, but blimey - less than half the commercial income of Newcastle and less than one-sixth that of Spurs.

Spurs are on a completely  different  level to us unfortunately. They have near enough have events all the time that brings them stupids amounts of revenue.


And great PR from the media in general that constantly boosts and promotes their profile, often utterly undeserved.

When Chris Heck leaves us and the turn over is £400 million, it will be interesting to see what the next person who fills that role, what there remit will be with regards to increasing the turnover to £450 million + and how they are going to achieve that figure?
all predicated on team success which means Europe at least Europa but to keep on growing revenue it means CL.
Nail on head here. 5 successive years in Europe makes us a different club financially.

It will be interesting to see how the club aims to reduce our wage bill from 96% of turnover which is obviously unsustainable.

Where is the line between "matchday" and "commercial"? 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.

In our return to European football you think knocking 5-7000 off the attendance by knocking down the North stand was worth it.

If folk moan about the club profiteering on tickets etc now then imagine what they would of been priced at if we lost so much capacity.

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 !

Well you'd be right to be, we got knocked out.

6th - 7th highest in the league depending on what info you're looking at. So kinda correlates to where we're competing in the league.
