hmmmm:-k

Its a very interesting topic.

I was thinking about this the other day... I know theres some wealthy bastards running A-league clubs here. Some are Multi-millionaires some are Billionaires Yes Im referring to you clive palmer and frank lowy.

Ill got with a couple of examples...

lets say newcastle Jets...

Salary cap with out any marquee player(s): $2,775,000

cost to rent home ground for one game: $75,000

Cost to rent home ground for a season: $75,000 x 15= $1,125,000

Cost to Advertise/ promote the team and or games = varies.

Cost to buy tickets for the away games = varies.


Another example Gold coast united...

Salary Cap without any Marquee player= $2,775,000

cost of jason culinas marquee yearly salary= $1,400,000 (does not include in actual salary cap)

cost of use of ground= at full capacity= $120,000 a game
capping at 5000 seats= $60,000 a game

cost of renting ground for whole season= full capacity $120,000 x 15= $1,800,000
capping at 5000 seats= $60,000 x 15= $900,000

advertising the team and promoting the team= varies.
travelling costs= varies

Its not fully accurate but You just wonder how much it would cost a season to run a team

$8M - $10M has been quoted a few times. I think that might be without Marquees too.
