I assume we got a decent whack from our trip to Stamford Bridge. Is it a 50/50 cut? If it's 50/50 it's not a gnat's member hair off £200k. Will any proift we make go into teambuilding for a promotion push come January, or to paying off some more benign loans?


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

I think each team gets 45% of the takings and then 10% goes to the competition or FA.

So I’m told by an ex pro.

So yeah should be around the £200k mark. Would be great to sign a couple of quality players in January to help the play off push.

I think we get 45% of income after costs taken out.  There were a lot of stewards on the night  to be paid.

Doubt it will be anything near £200,000.....£135,000 was mentioned on here before expenses :

When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

This ‘after expenses’ thing hardly seems fair - Chelsea don’t need the money, and are hardly going to look at saving pennies here and there; their match expenditure might be way more than what’s actually needed, and it’ll have zero consequence to them if they even LOSE money on games like this.

Someone said that Fenty expects us to make less than 100K.....

Sadly, that probably makes sense when you think about it.

If you work on an average ticket price of about £8 (allowing for concessions) that amounts to total gate receipts of around £320,000. We're then due 45% (£144,000) less costs. The trouble is, when you start to think about what it actually costs to magage a crowd of 40,000 in terms of policing, stewarding and other staff costs (catering staff etc.) then you can see how you're soon going to eat into that.

It's the obvious downside of charging a tenner a ticket. At £30 a go you'd have probably taken a third off the gate but still have been 100% better off financially overall. I'm assuming we could have insisted on charging full price, so kudos to the club for not doing so in the best interest of the fans.

It will probably be Chelsea’s smallest gate receipts of the season, and possibly their highest cost for policing away fans as we had double the normal allocation!!

I think you're probably right Poojah and Heisenberg. I'd have gone with £400-500k gross receipts allowing for food, beverages and prohrammes, plus a bit of broadcasting revenue. Attendance was <40,000 but tickets supposedly sold out - so maybe 10,000 bought tickets for right to get future tickets but didn't turn up. Maybe £200k net, x 45% = £90k.

So just a bit more than a car that you shouldn't scratch.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
