Came across the figures given by Julian tagg about a year ago concerning our actual income for 2014/15 and budget for 2015/16.
The figures given were
Football league and cups 737k and 726k
Gate money. 915k and 887k
Commercial. 567k and 668k
Trust. 188k and 161k
Shop/bars. 586k and 615k
Transfers 94k and 0
Grimes money. 347k and 420k
Totals. 3.438m and 3.477m
Wages. 2.479m and 2.783m
Match day costs. 126k and 129k
Business overheads. 252k and 231k
Pitches. 247k and 382k
The things I take from this is our gates went up so hopefully we have made more income than predicted. We made windfalls from unbudgeted cups games and tv/radio so will have exceeded significantly the second line. We sold Tom Nichols so 250k or possible more should be going into the budget for 2016/17. As the grimes money mentioned is less than half the total 1.75m I am assuming further amounts will be in the 2016/17 budget? Obviously only a third of it was going to the playing budget but there is still 1m of the fee not yet included in a set of figures unless I am missing something.
We increased our wages for the season just gone by about 300k and pitches by 135k which will account for the 420k from the grimes tf in the 15/16 budget.
These figures show we spend about 80% of our income in wages, and are allowed to spend 55% of our total of about 3.4m on the playing budget. Would be very interesting to know what our playing budget has been for last two seasons and moving forwards. Would expect over half of the total wages figure to be on playing and even that takes us nowhere near even half of our total income.
If Anyone who can shed any more light on these points, it would be appreciated. I find it hard reconciling these sort of figures with suggestions that we struggle at league two level. The event a couple of weeks ago seems to have been quietly forgotten with no press coverage.
