I know its not an issue for us 09:50 - May 3 with 1352 views | Cheltenham_Blue | But, I'd love to know what the cost of promotion to the Premier League would be for us. Outside of playing budget, there will be installation of VAR, upgrades to the floodlights, new media facilities, a dedicated box for TV coverage, I would imagine that all four sides of the ground will get LED advertising. I've no doubt there will be other infrastructure projects, too, ingress and egress, the club have to provide 20 ethernet ports behind the goal, (10 at each end), much of which will have to be started immediately after the end of the season. I can't imagine it'll be cheap. [Post edited 3 May 2024 10:02]

Luton Town spent a reported £10m on their (admittedly crappy) stadium after getting promoted. Our bill should be considerably smaller. We will be guaranteed a minimum of £100m from broadcasting rights next season. Even if we go straight back down, we will be given parachute payments of £55m in year 1, 45m in year 2 & £20m in year 3. |  |

http://preml.ge/PLAnnualReport2223 Page 10. Jesus Wept it's a lot of money. Doesn't include higher match day, hospitality, sponsorship or merchandising revenues. Or £79.2M in parachute payments if we're relegated. No wonder Ashton looked like he was about to have a heart attack on Tuesday night. |  | |  |

And that’s just TV and league prize money. You’ve got the cup money and the club’s own revenue streams on that (tickets, commercial, etc), Edit - although it’s worth looking at the other side of the equation too. The costs of operating in the PL are equally huge. In that season Southampton posted a £87m loss and had wages of over £106m. https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/24159702.southampton-post-87m-loss-2022-23-fin [Post edited 3 May 2024 12:32]

£106m on wages is crazy! I wonder how much our current top players will be on next season? |  | |  |
