“Back when we faced Liverpool eight years ago, Anfield could hold just over 50,000 spectators, and we managed to make around £700,000 from that match.
This time around, as we prepare to play at the Etihad with a capacity of approximately 62,000, we are anticipating a revenue ranging between £600,000 and £1 million.
Although the financial gain will be substantial, it won’t carry the same weight as it did against Liverpool all those years ago.
During our previous encounter with Liverpool, the £700,000 generated accounted for a third of our football budget. However, our current budget far surpasses that figure, diminishing the financial impact of this upcoming match.
Beyond the monetary aspect, the most significant factor is that over 15,000 of our fans will have a fantastic day out at the game.”
