Let's see...

Away gate receipts (?) 25 squid * 3000 = 75k

Players wages prob about 20*4 = 100k per week.

That'll do for a start.

Chartered flight fees for staff of about 40 (remember Assistant Kit Manager is essential) plus separate charter for Delia and Rick Waghorn, plus the hotel and meal costs for staff, directors, guests and the directors and guests' champagne and prawn sarnies.

Add on the overhead in general (fees for ground maintenance at Carra Rud even while unused) and that's a pretty big damn loss.

        So would you budget a project and not factor in wages as they would have to (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Dec 6, 14:09:55
        
        You were looking at the budget for just the away cup ties (NCFC) - DiscoDaleGordon, Dec 6, 14:13:24
