>From a recent article in the Daily telegraph “Wolves’ most recent accounts revealed a £9 million profit on £61 million turnover, including £39 million from broadcast revenue, a reminder of the vital importance of staying up”.
Therefore, besides TV income our remaining turnover is $22 million. Let’s work on an average attendance of 28,500 and average ticket price of $30 (Steve’s figure from earlier today) over 19 home games gives us 30 x 19 x 28,500 = 16.245 million pound. Let’s say 16 million pound, giving us 6 million from other commercial activities. So, if we build a new Stadium with 37,000 capacity we will most likely attain an average season attendance of 35,000. Equating to an extra yearly income of $30 x 19 x 6,500 = 3.7million. Over the medium to long term this makes sense to me, our major source of income, apart from TV, is through the turnstiles. We need to try and increase this income as best we can. By the way, I would have been happy with 17th place this season, consolidation was the sole aim in my book. If we stay up, then kick on next season and try to break into that 3rd quadrant Marcus is talking about. Marcus, I am torn between accepting your very kind invitation to watch the game at your house or continue with my sad routines at home that have been successful these last 2 x games.

Wigan have been building their squad over the last few years whilst in the Premiership and have outlayed way more than us on players. I wouldn't agree they have a weaker squad than us and would imagine their fans would be highly critical if they were. Maybe even more so than people on this list?! Blackpool are a given and have done unbelievably well with the squad they have. Fantastic start to the season and may just manage to hang on, although if the season were a few games longer they'd probably be doomed given their form over the second half of the season. Newcastle shed very few players when they went down to the Championship where they went the entire season unbeaten at home. The squad they went down with/came back up with was/is, in my opinion, stronger than ours and I'd hazard a guess was assembled with more of an outlay than ours. Albion have done very well with the squad they've got, which is probably about on a par with ours. Odemwingye has to be one of the bargains of the season. Their success has been built on the 'slowly slowly' approach being questioned earlier - they've never over committed financially and have been prepared to accept relegations as part of a longer term plan to progress. Seems to be working. _____ From: nswolves@googlegroups.com [mailto:nswolves@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Marcus Chantry Sent: Thursday, 19 May 2011 2:16 PM To: nswolves@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: [NSWolves] League Position My personal opinion is that we currently have a better squad than, and therefore should be ahead of, the following teams: · West Ham · Wigan · Blackpool · Newcastle · West Brom From: nswolves@googlegroups.com [mailto:nswolves@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of LEESE Matthew Sent: Thursday, 19 May 2011 2:09 PM To: nswolves@googlegroups.com Subject: [NSWolves] League Position Marcus You say that 'With the squad we have we should be in the Premier League 3rd quadrant'. I'm curious to know who you think should be in the 4th quadrant on account of having weaker squads than us? I'm struggling to think of 5. Matt Before printing, please consider the environment.
