MolOverBeethoven I don’t agree with your position, if I haven’t misunderstood it. The sole focus should be the ground redevelopment, no question. Without boosting the revenue significantly, we are going nowhere, we’ll be yo-yo-ing up and down for ever more. We have a huge untapped fan base that can supercharge the club’s buying power, i.e. players and thus keep us in the PL for the long term. The shorter term could be a rollercoaster, but it is what it is.
Leeds United should have a seat at the top table of English football and this is how it will be achieved. I am not sure I’m bothered about anything else, if I was, I’d go watch Guiseley or Harrogate Town.
As for the current stadium, awful, rotten and stinks of piss. It’s 2025 FFS.
Added: All of the ‘top 6’ clubs have 55,000+ seater stadiums, with the exception of Chelsea.
Our match day revenue is around £31 million, so around £1.5m a game last season lets say. These numbers below are from 23/24 season, for comparison. These are just tickets, not revenue per game. We ain’t competing with anyone unless we get this right, even Everton got the memo on that one.
