Hammers desperate to hold on to £38m

|

West Ham will be desperate that nothing gets in the way of the new Covid Freedom Day o July 19 and that they hold on £38m of ticket revenue next season with the stadium full again.

Hammers Vice Chairman Karren Brady revealed last season that the club were losing £2m per game in lost ticket revenue by playing behind closed doors.

Over 99% of Season ticket holders renewed for next season and West Ham will be hoping to keep on to it in their bank account and not refund that money game by game.

Add to that £2m per home Premier League game, Europa League ticket revenue and domestic cup games you could probably reach up to £50m in potential game receipts.

The Premier League could adopt a new protocol by allowing those who have been double vaccinated back into full stadia, the alternative might be to test those who have not been vaccinated.

Over the weekend the London Stadium was used to jab over 18 year olds in East London in a big push before July.

That model would follow the protocol used by UEFA for Wembley stadium for the Euro 2020 championships.

    Hopefully they won’t discriminate and make it accessible for jabbed season ticket holders only.
