No Jake, I am not a Maths teacher, but do commercials as part of my job.
Check the KC Derby crowds if you like. Can't recall many Derbies below 18,000 and some have been over 20,000.
Typically Hull v Huddersfield or Salford would get a crowd of just over 10,000.
Therefore, a Derby uplift of 8,000 X £23 average match day admission = £184k plus other match day spend = c£200k
£200k is double £100k (LLS prize money)
I'm happy with my Maths and assumptions. Perhaps there is nothing wrong with your son's maths teacher after all.... maybe it's just his Dad.
I'm glad you don't do commercials for me. Other than you've got your average ticket price completely wrong, you've ignored VAT and the SMC agreement, you're miles off with your thinking.
If there were only 1 SL team in Hull, they'd get increased sponsorship, increased fan numbers (I know quite a few rovers fans who regularly attended the KC for the bigger games before rovers were in SL), increased away fan numbers (who would only have 1 trip to Hull to make per year so likely travel in greater numbers) and the pick of the youth. Those benefits would far outweigh the drop in income from one match.
And my lad's dad's maths is just fine thanks
