Some interesting information in the full accounts..
Ticket sales £845,319 2021 £2,653,341 2020 - just under 40% of turnover (A massive reduction)
Commercial and streaming £1.29m 2021 and £0.86m 2020 (near 50% increase)
Transfer income £59,050 2021 £1,129,346 2020 (A massive reduction)
Hospitality £352,139 2021 £584,286 2020
Wages and salaries(all not just players budget) £4.3m 2021 - 76% of turnover £4.4m 2020 - 63% 0f turnover. (About the same and Ryan Lowe said the playing budget was ranked about 18th in the League.
Number of employees 262 2021 292 2020 reduction in number sin administration, hospitality, retail and (obviously match day employees). Increase in Academy.
On the basis of the above we can expect ticket sales to be above the 2020 level despite the reductions for season ticket holders this year. We can reasonably expect in an average year better than just under £60,000 in transfer income. Clearly the streaming service is bringing in significant income - with the improvements to Argyle TV we can expect this to improve. Clearly with the hospitality offer now in full swing that will significantly increase revenues over the £352,000 last year.
With the obvious potential for additional income as outlined above, a playing budget 12th - 15th in the League and very significant cash reserves, this year gives the Club every opportunity to make giant strides towards the goal of sustainability. Moreover we own the stadium, got a new grandstand and a massively hospitality offer and have no external debt. Our training facilities are vastly improved and improvement continue in all areas of the stadium
Given the end of this week marks the 10th anniversary from the exit of administration and the return of the Football League 'Golden Share' that is some achievement - it really is!
