A misleading stat there comparing annual turnover and Sky's annual contribution with only a single game income from away fans! A fairer comparison is multiplying that by the number of home games (14) which gives £490k ie about 25% of the Sky income so not to be sniffed at.
If we're talking about improving the current teams then getting more home supporters is far more important...
Was it not obvous the pont I was responding to, or are you colour blind?

Catalan do not bring supporters in numbers here in UK to league matches, so revenues are well down to other SL. Clubs, this is a matter of fact. Therefore they bring little to the game in the uk.
Catalan deliver SKY about a dozen or so "live" games for 2/10th's of FA....SKY deliver 1.8 million to UK clubs....my stat that Catalan visiting and delivering £0 in revenue instead of a team from a bus stop away bringing £35,000 is very relevant to the expression "Therefore they bring little to the game in the uk". If there were 11 Catalans and only 1 UK team, then you might have a point, but replacing Catalan with 1 UK side would add £35k....or less than 1% of a clubs turn over......loop fixtures aside
Halifax, Hull, Wire and St Helens will be at the jamboree Semi-final cash cow double header.....Hull and Fax replacing Leeds and the hated French from last year......26,086 was last years attendance figure. Surely Fax will bring more than Catalans......so, according to your logic, we'll see a vast improvement in that figure?
