of course it will help. guesstimated figures..

23000 people go to a game lets say for every home game.

I'm happy to guesstimate half of whom will drink a soft drink

thats 11,500 people.

x £0.30 increase = 3,450 per game = £82,800

just on soft drinks if half the people there have ONE drink.

That does not include the tickets being £31 instead of £25.

That does not include the food, which has a much bigger mark up.

That does not include alcoholic drinks of which more are probably drunk than one for every 2 people.

Add all this up and you'd be nearing £500,000 better off at the end of the season. And of the £3,000,000 expected loss overall thats 17% of your loss eased.

This is without touching the playing side of things/club shop/corporate sidew of things.

So yes, looking after the pennies does mean the pounds will look after themselves.
