Hasn’t it been said that our average gates this season has helped us regarding our EFL budget which suggests it’s this season in the NL not expected gates next season which is factored in.

Correct you budget for EFL is all based on this season average and it helped both Wrexham and Notts County with this seasons budgets

Well let's hope the EFL have/will be looking at ground grading and implementing sanctions for none compliance and not turning a blind eye like the NL. The disregard shown to visiting fans whilst happily taking their cash to boost their playing budget has been nothing more than despicable.

Perhaps the EFL could do everyone a favour when producing the fixture list by giving which ever of these sh..house clubs gains promotion a first of home fixture Port Vale or Grimsby who clearly have the reputation to improve facilities!!

Reminds me of that old joke. Millwall fans went on the rampage in Rotherham town centre on Saturday and caused half a million pounds worth of improvements!!

We only took about 13k so with 1000 average god knows what Solihull would muster, although it’s a big catchment and they’ve never been before so possibly loads of day trippers who’ve never seen them play before

It’s more complex than that. Chesterfield will set the budget which will include guaranteed budget such as the EFL/PFL handouts, ST sales and the rest (such as gate money, catering, etc.) has to be extrapolated to obtain the expected income witch may vary for reality. The reporst is submitted in mid June along with expected player budget so it can only be an estimate and for L2 it has to be less that 50% of expected income. There isn’t any point in over exaggerating expected income because clubs have to submit a mid season report in December where any obvious errors will be detected.

There are three reporting periods, the current one which by nature has to be an estimate, and the two previous years which presumably back up assumptions being made.

On top of that there is there is the football fortune element (cup revenue, donations, transfer fees, etc.) and cubs can spend 100% of that on the player budget.

They will get some Villa and Birmingham hangers with it being the Sunday....although Birmingham fans may not be that happy if they've been relegated!

They took between 5000 and 6000 to the 2022 final at West Ham where there was a stink about ticket prices. I assume they’ll take more to Wembley this time, although they are also in the Trophy final a week later. Be interesting which game will attract the out and out days trippers most.

They are lucky the Trophy is after the play off. T'other way round and they'd not be fielding their strongest team.

Will we be able to discern the tickets sold by each of the four clubs for the Trophy Finals Day though?

I suspect only if the ever helpful and open with information National League tell us!

You mean the ever helpful FA as it’s their competitions or even the ever helpful Wembley Stadium who handle the tickets

Presumably both could have access to the information and have the option to tell folk should they want.

Quite correct. Followed up the error of previous poster.
So the FA have the ability to inform us of the number of tickets sold by each club.
But history tells us it’s a no then; they will merely tell us the total number of tickets sold.

Sorry but there is a tendency to blame the NL for everything and I’m now getting all protective towards the NL now we are out of the hell hole.
