I'm not surprised to see some of the figures he's talking about. £220k a match in terms of spend in the community seems about right (£4.6m a season). The was a survey down here when Swansea were in the PL and the estimate was £10m of investment into the region from home and away fans over the season, plus money to the club.
So potentially £10m loss that ME will have to fund and another £4m plus loss to businesses in Ipswich and the wider area. A lot of cash.
Going to be an interesting year. Surely they're going to start having a more serious discussion about wages soon, as it's those that make up a large portion of the costs. They're not sustainable at current levels. Even £5k a week is over a quarter of a million a year gross.
