Did she really say

our ticket income is not enough for 'a' Lge 1 squad?

I suspect that any normal Lge 1 club would be delighted to have 8.8 mill p.a income (of which 5.2 mill is net ticket income) which is what we expect to earn this season.

What Delia really means is that our ticket income is not enough to pay the wages that we pay - and that is a different thing entirely.

But if she and her board mates are happy to cover the losses then that is OK by me.
