Quote ="DGM"Some things to consider in those workings:
The average ticket price won't be anywhere near £23. The most expensive ticket available to Warrington fans tomorrow for example is an adult at £21. Kids are £10, or free if they have a season ticket.
Also, with most people buying through their own club, their club get a kick back, which knocks that average down further.
We get nothing from the food/drink sales, and how many people bother to buy programmes these days with everything being available on the Internet?
Then there's the biggy, the deal with the SMC taking a huge bite out of your £200k. I'd estimate it to be nearer £65-£70k taking all that into account. Not a small amount by any means, but that wasn't the point I was making originally. There are many other factors to consider when figuring out if we really benefit from Rovers being in SL from a business point of view (and visa versa). This is one of the benefits definitely, but plenty of negatives too.'"
Also for any one game a sizable proportion of ST holders do not attend. For derby games a higher proportion attend so a lift of 1000 - 2000 may be ST holders who have already paid so there would be no additional gate money from these people.
