A total revenue loss of £305 million has been lost across the four football leagues.
The amount of matchday revenue every English club has lost due to the season finishing without its fans has been added up – and Manchester City comes out worst.
Manchester City has the highest estimated matchday revenue loss at £23.9m. Arsenal lost around £12 million and Chelsea £8.6 million.
Business Rescue Expert, a leading insolvency practice, has investigated the potential cost of COVID-19 on English football, across all four leagues, as turnstiles were closed to fans.
The ‘Football Without Fans’ analysis estimates the revenue loss each club faced as a result of being forced to host the final five matches of the 19/20 campaign behind closed doors, and, in some cases required to end their season prematurely.
Research found that London clubs make up almost A QUARTER of revenue loss, despite only being home to 15% of teams. And League Two’s Bradford City would only lose £100k less than Premier League AFC Bournemouth.
Arsenal is the most expensive place to drink, while Chelsea is the most expensive place for a pie.
