So if the share of the gate receipts is 42.5%, and not 25% as I thought, than that means that having played at Old Trafford, Emirates, and WHL over the last two seasons that would be over GBP2 million from those three games alone - not including the bonus home ties, or the telly appearance money (which used to be about GBP250k per FA Cup game). Which does make you wonder where all that money has gone? Thanks to those for the stats on mid week vs weekend games (depressing as they are). Anyone want to do an analysis of local derbies over the last season or two to see if we don't usually perform in those games either? Btw, the Rising Sun is now a second hand furniture shop.
