Match attendance and Gate Receipts
Gate receipts are split 50:50 between the teams.
Friendlies generate income, but the crowds and therefore gate takings are smaller than for competitive matches.
Attendance at the match reflects the fact that visiting fans come to games as well – details of both teams will be used in calculating game attendance although the weighting will be towards the home team.
Spectators can buy match tickets in advance for FC matches, which means that most of your FC income will be collected on Day 1.
Attendance at Friendly matches is generally miserable – you won’t make much money out of these matches, but every little bit helps!
