I’ve heard local businesses are gonna have their noses pushed out and it’s big business that Doug wants associated with the ‘brand’.
Should we achieve the level of the brand in question of course.
No, unfortunately not. Of course, ref those that live a long way away simply can’t make it to the games during the week. They will follow City anywhere.
The finances in the prem are on another scale. The v top prem clubs would rather not have the fuss of STs and sell out at higher prices for each match.
Even for the remainder, ticket revenue is insignificant compared to TV money and while it’s inconceivable that prices won’t increase (for fewer games) an extortionate increase could be counterproductive if the club wants ST holders to renew again should we ever be back in the EFL.
