OrangeBurn 57 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I read a while ago that Motherwell make £300,000 a season from Rangers alone (due to tickets).Last year the club earned £670,000 from season tickets and £970,000 from their own and visiting fans paying at the gate. Rangers represented £300,000 of that income, and Celtic some £295,000, with fans of the other nine SPL clubs paying £300,000 in total – the same as Rangers’ fans.http://www.scotsman.com/scotland-on-sunday/sport/motherwell-fear-administration-whether-they-vote-for-or-against-newco-1-2373062Now, last season, I remember the Motherwell fans holding up a banner talking about their £550,000 profit. Motherwell recorded a profit of £541,663 to the end of last season and continue to operate with no bank debt.http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17069409So alone, without Rangers in the league, they stand to lose £300,000 of that straight away.Not to mention the renegotiation of the Sky deal would probably half their £600,000 per year TV deal, meaning they would lose another £300,000.Lets do the math, £550,000 - (£315,000 + £300,000) = -£65,000!There we have a pretty simple way of looking at things.

JCDBigBear 10,831 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I understood that Motherwell estimated that the total loss of revenue for them if RFC was not in the SPL would be approx £1m. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane 338 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 They're estimating a £500k loss on £4.3m in revenues this year, and project to lose over £900k next year alone if we're not in the SPL. Turned that loss with a 10% increase in attendance last year to boot.The long and short is they're fucked, and they know it, but they sure do try to paint a pretty picture: http://coplandroad.org/268471 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcbear 10,924 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 The clubs (all of them) spin doctors will make it sound great and deny Rangers a place in the SPL cue the celebrating,smugness and piss taking,Fast forward 6 months and stadiums are empty, no Rangers games to look forward to, and all of a sudden its not exactly as it said on the tin, goodnight diddys.
