Woody1000 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 53 minutes ago, TrentVilla said: Yes and my perception is that most don’t or didn’t expect them to raise and that there is an unrealistic expectation amongst fans that the owners will continue to spend, the team improve, demand increase but that cost doesn’t. The ticket price of £50 isn’t the most expensive I believe those are £55 in the DE, I’m not sure they are the “posh seats”. That has definitely been the vibe on Twitter. I don’t think the rise is extortionate, I appreciate that ticket income only accounts for a relatively small part of our income in the grand scheme of things, but this all helps towards FFP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicho Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 1 hour ago, TrentVilla said: So its £50 a ticket for Wolves… I did say they would be looking to increase ticket revenue from the existing capacity before they would expand. I was almost universally told I was wrong, well looks like its starting. So it’s your fault 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Sorry to soil the thread with gossip from this publication but anyhow... Anyone think we might be one of the clubs mentioned? "Multan Villa" or perhaps "Lahore Villa"? Quote Premier League clubs are ready to cash in on new Pakistani league by 'twinning' with teams from the franchise... and they could wear the same colours as their partnered side Six Premier League teams are looking to form partnerships with Pakistani clubs English outfits will 'twin' with sides ahead of the PFL's launch next spring It is the first partnership of its kind and could see teams adopting similar colours Premier League clubs are looking to explore the Pakistani market by ‘twinning’ with teams from the country’s new franchise competition. The Pakistan Football League (PFL) is launching next spring with sides from the cities of Karachi, Lahore, Quetta, Islamabad, Peshawar and Multan. Sportsmail understands those six teams will each form partnerships with an English club and could even adopt the same colours and nicknames as their Premier League counterparts. Premier League sides hope the partnerships can help them grow their brands and fanbases in a largely untapped market. They also plan to use the twinning to try to engage with their own local Asian community. The Pakistan teams will benefit by being able to tap into the expertise of their Premier League partners and potentially spend time at their training facilities. The strengthening of sporting ties between England and Pakistan comes at a time when tensions are high between the two nation’s cricket boards following England’s withdrawal from their proposed T20 tour there next month. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10022807/Premier-League-clubs-ready-cash-new-Pakistani-league-twinning-clubs.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be a potential revenue generator? Yes, not huge but neither would the investment be huge either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 So what do people think of the idea of playing one Prem game abroad. Seems to be making the rounds again. I'd prefer the 20 Prem teams split up into groups of 5 teams each for a pre season tournament abroad somewhere. 4 games in 14 days or something Or we could have two mini tournaments of 10 teams two groups of 5 and a final The key would be all money is for the Prem and shared equally between the teams but with some added money for those who win each group or something so there is a reason to be competitive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So having 4 prem teams fly to another Continent only benefits those 4 clubs or to detriment of those 4 clubs The idea here would be revenue generation by the Premier League that is distributed equally among the 20 + parachute teams. The idea is to level the financial gap between top and bottom to some degree Edited September 28, 2021 by CVByrne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This means no additional football just structure to the preseason as a way to create revenue for the Prem teams. Playing a Prem game abroad is the starting point for 10 games abroad and then 20. It should be resisted at all costs, domestic competition is just that. Domestic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted September 28, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 28, 2021 Quite a few serie A teams have a second sponsor underneath the players number, an arse sponsor if you will.

I am all for increasing revenue, but surely the reason you would play overseas games is to increase the profile of the league/teams. Now I've been fortunate to see a bit of the world over the years, and I have never been to any country where folks have not heard of the Premier League. It is by some distance the most watched league around the world. The twinning idea mentioned elsewhere with regard to Pakistan seems like a better fit to me, because it can grow interest in the local league and the Premier League at the same time. Then have a pre-season visit where we play our doppelgangers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Although it already happens in the NFL, it's a totally different beast. There is no local professional equivalent in the UK, so it benefits the British based fans as much as it does the nfl teams that come over. Football is played globally already, and the attraction of seeing a PL game live probably brings more to the country than shipping the matches overseas would. Not to mention the detraction of professionalism or fairness that sending a game overseas would cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would not suit the clubs, preseason has a purpose and to achieve that purpose the managers have the ability to make 11 subs at H/T and focus on getting players fit and trying some new things. If preseason was turned into a meaningless tournament there would be very few commercial opportunities and the TV / advertising value would be low.
