TBH it looks like we might

I can't recall the figures for the cost of covid to date, but this factored in fans returning at some point this season didn't it. It's now looking like we may well have no fans at all this season.

I wonder if Webber / Delia may agree to sell off all of Lewis, Max, Todd, Emi and Ben Godfrey to guarantee we are financially sound through the season. Potentially bringing the likes of Leitner and Trybull back into the fold and potentially predate on those clubs who are really looking at going bankrupt and who are absolutely forced to sell their crown jewels for bottom dollar.

Would the seem like a continuation of the 'prudent' business model on display since prem promotion?

        £9.7 million was the figure for ticket sales last time in the champ, £9.8m the season (NCFC) - Jim, Sep 28, 16:23:11

        yes, hence i've said above I think no fans equals a loss of about £14-15m (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Sep 28, 16:48:05
        
        Recent report suggested we lose over £1M per match (NCFC) - Cardiff Canary, Sep 28, 17:41:30
        
        As i've stated above I reckon the loss of fans = 1 extra player sale (NCFC) - Jim, Sep 28, 16:20:52
  - Think of all the £££ that could be re-invested in a top squad of new future stars though (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Sep 28, 12:56:29
    - It won’t be though, that’s the kicker (NCFC) - mississauga_canary, Sep 28, 13:30:10
