New EFL/Sky deal

It’s not more revenue for League 2 clubs barely covers inflation over the time periods of the the previous deal to the new deal period 2024-2029. Think beyond the press release.

That's what I think in terms of this deal , it seems like the trade off of income gained versus income lost will be detrimental to clubs lower down , but then why did they vote it through ?

Quoted from Yarborough Vaults

Actually, we can't afford not to have one

Long term nobody disagrees with you but at the moment due to cost it can’t be the priority some believe it should be.

Quoted from Yarborough Vaults

It's a good point. The TV deal is great for exiles though, and there will always be excuses why a new ground is impossible.

Attendances are already financially irrelevant at Premier League clubs but vital to the experience of those watching at home. Maybe TV cash could lead to ticket price cuts to make sure seats are filled for the cameras.

Funding isn't an excuse, it's a very valid reason. That ship has long sailed and blame isn't at the door of 1878 for that.

I'm yet to see a viable solution to funding a stadium, so we have to make do with what we have.

I know ours would be totally different proposal but read the other day that Everton are seeking an extra £250 Million funding just to FINISH off their new stadium !!!

Wow, I’m sure it’s harder to get that kind of money when you’re a championship club.

I imagine the main contractors forgot to add in a scally contingency for missing materials when originally tendering. 😆

If only we could bring Goodison Park over on a couple of pallet trucks once they've got the new one done

Championship clubs have a veto on all EFLVoting matters they are getting a bigger percentage increase then a league 1  and 2 . I imagine the conversation went something like nobody wants to watch League 2 football unless they support the club so be grateful for what you get.

But they’re not wrong really are they? Aside from fat yanks in Arkansas and a few not real football fans that saw a documentary about Salford, nobody does want to watch league 2 football.

You kgint pick the odd football nerd but but in truth, the championship clubs aren’t wrong.

Someone mentioned about cheaper ticket prices to fill grounds…nice idea but won’t happen. Premier attendances are some of the most consistent in Europe and are full every week so no worry there, although in Spain they do have to fill the stands visible to the camera.

I know it’s cool for lower league fans to hate the premier league etc but whatever anyones opinion, they’ve built a huge brand that sees sellouts even for non entity games…
