There's probably even a bit of this years funding from season tickets and sponsors left over as we haven't had to pay out as much, eg stadium rent, winning bonus's, stewarding costs etc.
But where's the income coming from for next year. No sign of season tickets going on sale yet and no indication of when fans could be allowed back in ground so imagine take-up will be significantly down on this years figures. Would imagine sponsorship will also be a harder sell as they aren't getting much exposure for their money.
They did say there’s some exciting commercial announcements to come over next few weeks as far as season tickets go there’s always a way around it all and so long as you can offer an alternative that’s fair to supporters I’m sure you will get uptake.
