Interesting, so my main take on this is we appear to have £460m loans as of last June. It then also states we borrowed another £100m in October after theses results. So looks like our debt position is around the £560m mark. Fairly hefty. Will be interesting how this is financed. I assume Levy will look to pay down a bulk of this with a naming rights deal that pays up front also with no signings in over a year normal operations might allow some money to go towards this. If when we come to refinance this is down to £400m or less I wonder over what sort of period and then affect on the club finances to service the debt this will have.
Interesting to note that match receipts were £71m. Got me thinking what can we hope for at the new lane. I’ll base it on 22 home match days. Across the all games and different price categories the average cost per seat must be about £50 if not more. I believe that season tickets are not that much cheaper than the cost of games. Based on that each match on average should brining in £3000000 in match tickets, attendance of 60000. That would come to £66m. If you also say the average match day spend of fans on beer etc.. is £5 then you add on another 300000 before costs. We shouldn’t be far of that £71m match day receipts. I’ve tried to be conservative with the estimates.
Remember that the 8,000 corporate seats will also generate a large level of income.....
I would guess:
Corporate = 8,000 x £5,000 (estimated average cost)
Away fans = 3,000 x £30 (per game)
Home fans = 50,000 x £60 (per game - I think this is more likely to be the average cost of a ticket factoring in prices and concessions)
Total = £99 million assuming a 19 game season.
Plus another £3.2 million per big cup game (I.e. CL or FA cup games against the big boys) assuming cup games are included for the corps as part of their £5k a year average and home and away fans pay the same £60 average cost per ticket for the big Cup games.
Smaller cup games probably more like £400k to £1 million (assuming £10 or £20 tickets and 40,000+ crowds.
Assuming a Spurs team who reach the last 16 of the CL I would expect total stadium ticket revenue of about £115 million and then add on to that £250,000 to £500k per game of food and drink sales.
On top of this I would expect us receive about £1 million each time we rent the stadium out for NFL, rugby, football internationals concerts, etc.
Assuming an eventual £15 million PA stadium sponsorship, it is not beyond the realms of possibility that the stadium revenue could be worth as much as £150 million a year.
