Wasn`t aware that was the case? Thought all of the income went to the home club anyway?

Dont think so.
I think that all clubs selling tickets for away matches "take" a slice from ticket sales.
It's certainly been mentioned on here in the past and it's one of the reasons that "we" should get tickets in advance for away fixtures.
Even if its a couple of quid, multiply that by 1000 every fortnight and Mr Carter will be a happy man.

I always thought that if you bought an away ticket from your club, then they got a share of the money, with the majority going to the home club. Not so sure about the 25% which I think is over estimating it.

I think 25% is high, but I'm pretty sure that's the correct figure.

So you think 25% is high, but also the right figure? Hmmmm.

Was 10% at one time I think but definitely 25% now. Very important to always get your tickets in advance from the Trinity club shop for our away games. 1000 tickets @ £20 each = £5000 to the mighty Trin.
Imagine what Hull KR do with that £100k they make on every away game ticket sales!

Actually did not know this, but will do from now on, cheers

Re: Ground capacity : Thu Mar 29, 2018 4:46 pm  

It went up, I think, last year after some clubs kicked off. The issue was that clubs like Salford were benefiting from teams like Hull travelling over with 2000 fans and them getting an extra £20k in the pocket, yet when it came to the other way round, Salford only took 100 and Hull only got like £1k. Therefore, the biggers clubs argued it was grossly unfair that this happened. In order to make it fairer, they agreed that all clubs should get 25% both encouraging more clubs to push it early in advance so they got a bigger slice of the pie, and also to try and push early demand and ticket sales.
