• Forget about attendances at these events, the organisers / promoters will be paying a fixed fee to the Club to rent the facility. Whether there\'s 20 or 20,000 or 200,000 the Club don\'t care, the organisers receive the ticket revenue.rnrnCatering is outsourced so again, the Club receive a rent, the caterers receive the sales revenue.rnrnEngland fixtures are a different matter if it\'s the Club promoting the event and they may even make a deal with the caterers for a percent of the sales revenue....

• Mark, I don't think we need to spend £40 million per player. For a top quality striker perhaps, but nowhere near that much for a right back or a young central defender. One of my very favorite young right back targets, Juanlu Sanchez of Sevilla, can be had for less than £20m. So can Hackney. Wan-Bissaka's reported price tag is £10m. Nor do I expect the club to spend up to its entire available ceiling in one window. As I've said before, I think this management has a "slow and steady" plan. And I think the Dibling foolishness will prove to be a one-off, the result of a partial staff working under a time crunch....

• Mike 24.rnrnI had all four events you mention in my calculation. Andrew 14 mentioned 200,000 tickets which is for those 4 days. That assumes a near sell out for all and the numbers I gave you. Feel free to dispute them, I\'m only guessing. The women\'s match tonight for example would in my opinion be unlikely to clear us much more than £150k and probably a fair bit less.rnrnI didn\'t count in the World Cup watching event. That is an extra. It won\'t raise that much revenue in total but I suspect the margin with be good given that we will surely keep all the food and merch margin so even at £10 a ticket, it might actually be more profitable than all the others.rnrnI\'ve (cautiously) tried to offer some numbers on this, with at least the pretence of some rationale, but if anyone wants to offer a different version of those numbers, that would be welcome....
