Well gate receipts, commercial and catering income is about £22m at this level

Of which commercial was about £8m when we were last down. Assuming we don;t lose all of that (fans still buy shirts, still sponsorship etc) then I reckon (not allowing for what we can make back trhoiugh streaming which in theory could be be worth up to £250K a bome game for us) no fans in the ground for a season is probably a hit of about £14m - £15m or to put it another way one Todd Cantwell or 2/3rds of a Max Aarons or Emi Buendia.

Although as I would think many fans will simply leave the rcredit in their account and use it against next years ST sale that probably really hits hoime next summer when ST revenues are likely to be very low. If we go up again, not so much of an issue.

So i could probably accept that the no fans thing might hasten the need for one more player sale but certainly not all of them.

        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
