If the coronavirus pandemic has been highlighted to football supporters, how often the matchday income can become an afterthought. Clubs worldwide, including Tottenham Hotspur, have revealed how much the pandemic has hit the revenue they make from matchdays.
The Daily Mail published an article revealing the jump clubs have made over the past decade regarding how much they earn from matchday revenue. The English media outlet took the figures from 2008-09 to 2018-19, the last season before the pandemic.
Spurs are one of the biggest earners from this income, sitting in fourth place in 2018-19 as they earn £1,506 per fan per matchday. It’s a 94-percent jump from their 2008-09 revenue when they made £775 per fan per matchday.
Tottenham’s jump over the past decade has seen the north London club leap ahead of Manchester United and Manchester City. The only clubs earning more on matchdays than Spurs are Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea.
Liverpool is third, earning £1,589 per fan per matchday in 2018-19, a 63-percent change from 2008-09; meanwhile, Arsenal is second with £1,607, making a 34-percent jump over the past decade. Finally, Chelsea is in first place, making £1,648 per fan per matchday.
