I want to actually look into something sporty and Financial, by the way am back into the arena it didn't take me that much of a time did it.
now let's go on I have been in a stadium view recently in a local match and I watch how people troop in for a match and it got me thinking, each person was charged a token of 50naira per match and then about 30,000 people came in all to view .
So as an igbo man( a tribal region in nigeria) I began to calculate apart from the skills the dribbles and the hype especially the high about the match ( now it was a subsidized price by the state government hosting the national team).
As the kick off and the chants were going on my head was just wracking in naira, the stadium manager just made a little change let's say children are free and about 500 kids present and the adult a total
24,900 *50 =#1,245,000 that's stadium views okay recently, I began to look through the EPL- that's the english premier league.
Before the covid-19 scare clubs must have been balling in millions of british pounds due to fans in stadium and then I began to look at the various club side, their stadium and the amount being generated? I began to ask why all of a sudden a nearly 6months effect of covid 19 could cripple the accounts of major big teams
ONE OF MY QUESTIONS-TO THE MANAGERS AND BOARDS WAS THIS VARIOUS STRINGS OF INCOME JUST ABOUT BUSINESS OR PASSION FOR THE TEAM TO THEM
FOR instance arsenal stadium
Its ticket price one of the most expensive ranges from £21 to£97 per game, and before the pandemic they stadium get well over thirty thousand seated so what's happening the revenue I heard its the most expensive
Now 30000* 97 = 29100000 per view but this is just for a game that does not involve the big teams.
For the stamford bridge home of chelsea playing ground
It's just about £30 to £43 there about and they even grind out results more than their rival counterparts arsenal so it's capacity could go as much as 40k in capacity and looking at it's calculation
40000*43= 1,820,000£ this just per view and am staggering to this boards to some of this board I have a question AGAIN
IS IT ABOUT BUSINESS AS USUAL OR PASSION FOR THE TEAM
SO now covid 19 sets in and all of a sudden players starts taking pay cuts remember this is not the only stream of income this is just on one aspect of it.
Well now the good new fans finally return and game play on but only 10000 fans allowed but some teams have removed the veil that lwa placed, as I saw anfield being jam-packed with fans of over 70000 and so on one so teams now are happy or board is it for the 12th man or for the income
THEY PROVIDE THE CHANTS AND CLAPS AND SUPPORT AND GATE FEES
But when the fans are absent we saw some teams loss focus and form so it means it's not for money or income so I ask again
IS IT PASSION OR BUSINESS AS USUAL??
