Liverpool have seen the second biggest matchday revenue increase in the Premier League
For this current campaign, Liverpool’s matchday revenue won’t be as high as the club had anticipated.
It will have a financial impact on the club, with capacity 18% down on the usual £4.2m per game, a figure of around £750,000 can be gleaned as the potential loss from each game when compared to what would have been expected for the start of the season. Liverpool CEO Billy Hogan made his hope known that the club could have October as a timescale, although with so much uncertainty still existing it is hard to know exactly how much it will end up impacting the club.
One of the big decisions that FSG had to make when they acquired the Reds was whether or not to keep the team at Anfield or find a new stadium. Having had to make a similar decision when they bought the Boston Red Sox in 2002 and choosing to remain at the iconic, if somewhat tired Fenway Park, the ownership group embarked on a project to raise revenues by developing their existing surroundings.
"There had been talk of maybe a dual build with Everton and maybe building one venue for both clubs. I can assure you that was a bad idea, it would have been a bad idea for us to come out in support of it for reasons that may seem obvious now to people who understand global football. "I think it has been received well. We are still small in the Premier League in terms of the size of the venue and there is still a lot of frustrated demand for tickets and access, but we think that's OK given how special the venue is."
