Match Day income

Mon Apr 17, 2017 9:11 am

Am I right in thinking that Ridsdale sold off income from the catering outlets in the stadium for an advanced fee of £3m?

I've been trying to find any articles to back this up but couldn't find any. If I am right does anyone know when the agreement for March day income from the catering outlets finish?

The original deal was a 10 year one (2019) but I remember something about it being extended by a further year to cover the cost of installing some of the machinery. I remember Ridsdale saying once at a fans forum (for what it's worth) that we receive £1m per season plus a small royalty from Campus.

Without pmg the stadium wouldnt of been built they got 24 million from asdas which in itself was a master stroke, the 9m was the shortfall pmg put upfront to get the project up and running and finished

Wez, the deal with PMG was and still is terrible. PMG only came on board for the retail income. Nowhere to be seen now as they have what they want.
