Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted June 10 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted June 10 There's a really good look and feel about some of those areas and they're going to significantly change our matchday revenues. Good to see them being launched through the usual club communication channel; accident. I'm still baffled that in our last set of accounts we listed our matchday revenues as £19m - following this redevelopment, hospitality ought to make more than that on its own, if we're including season tickets at about £15m and single tickets at around £8m, then even if we don't include our F&B revenues and our programme sales, we should be at well over £40m - makes no sense to me. Good though - and when you compare the £7m a season you get for a thousand new hospitality places to the approximately £5-6m we'd have got for the GA seats in the North Stand you can see why this relatively small outlay was preferred in the short term than the £100m investment and the loss of income for two years. Of course, the new North Stand would have also brought an additional 1,000 hospitality places, but it's the challenge of "getting bigger without getting smaller" that perhaps pushes us in this direction. If we're going to do more next summer (and I suspect we are) and if they bleed us a little more on ticket prices then too (and I suspect they will) then I think there's every chance that Villa Park generates £50m of matchday income in 25/26 - that would represent a significant level of progress. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No masterplan. A classic case of overpromising and under-delivering. Edited June 10 by The Fun Factory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we made the playoff round, the club could make this from just 5 Champions League games at Villa Park next season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did we sell off some future ticket revenue during the Dr. Tony Fraud era near bankruptcy times? Edited June 10 by villa89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catering staff behind the counter are not wearing hats. Extremely unprofessional and unhygienic. I propose that it'll be shut down by trading standards in a couple of weeks. Poor from Villa this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
