Now now Geoffrey...

My worry is,what is Plan B if Stockley misses a lot of games? Is it how we set up second half? If so,it may look good against Rotherham,but would it be effective against the top teams? On another day we'd have got a point

If my aunt had b,_______, she'd bin me uncle!😆

Sky Sports pays League One clubs a total of £1,698,500 per season as part of their broadcasting deal, which includes a Solidarity Payment of £778,500 and a Basic Payment of £920,000, according to Goal.com. In addition, clubs receive facility fees for televised matches: £30,000 for the home team and £10,000 for the away team. The overall five-year deal with the English Football League (EFL) is worth £935 million, with £895 million in guaranteed payments and £40 million in marketing benefits. 

 

 

 

I was right about the 30k then, didn’t realise there was a solidarity payment on top of that, as someone has said, that’s why we are playing games on a Thursday night.

Think its the membership thing .

No idea as dont have the map .

6500 plus  season ticket holders, 2100 Cardiff so sold about 2000 extra according to figure 2 days ago 9510 .

Im.sure Cardiff have sold more since, and surely Vale have as usually when folk find out theres going be a good crowd ,they come along ,maybe for the atmosphere .

Hopefully a surge of sales today .

If only we had put 3 or 4 past Gills, that was the game get folk wanting come more often, but then maybe as always folk only come if theres a promotion ,going happen which makes them glory hunters lol

Where i sit there is usually a load of options to pick (the people i go with are season ticket holders). However, i booked my ticket last week and there was only one seat available anywhere near. So definitely seems a lot busier than usual. It will be boosted by the membership sign ups getting a ‘free’ ticket to this game.

I'd say Hamil and Railway are both above 50%, so that's about 6000 in total. Then another 1400 in the Ls + 600 in hospitality. So add the 2000 away fans and you've got 10000.

We were told at the Forum that clubs no longer get the facility fee for televised games. Thos figures were for 2023-25.

I’ve done the membership thing this season, but you still have to take up your free ticket
