The club have made an application to increase the number of full capacity stadium events from 4 to 8 for music and live events. It's a big step forward for the club and a huge money maker.

Yes, I read that also. Hopefully will go through. That additional income would be vital for further growth.
They also applied to tweak the wording of the planning condition that governs 'extracurricular activities' to say "non-sporting" rather than "non-football".
Puzzled as to why that was not done in the first place?
LFC have permission for 6 currently, but not in July. Not sure why we only went for 4 initially? Why do we always have to play catch-up?..
Good news nonetheless.

It will have been to see how the area copes with the additional upheaval, I imagine.
I'm hoping we'll get to Spurs levels of 30 per year within the next 5 years. You could be looking at triple our current revenue from the football and stadium events. That's a level that puts us back up there with the top 6.

Yep that's how Spurs have done it from their stadium to over £300 million in sales and over £150 million in sales. Good stuff.

Agree, as long as it's ploughed back into the club and not used to buy the owner another Spitfire. ?

The owners make real money elsewhere. Football clubs are not get rich quick schemes. And yes, it's been repeatedly stated that all profits the club makes will go back into the club. Not anything to do with how good Roma are doing or how many cars they sell, but a single entity self sufficient and self funded.
It's really not hard that being rich doesn't mean spend how you like. Have we not understood this yet?

They'll make their money when they sell the club. A Premier League club that is successful, in 5 to 10 years could be worth between 7 to £10b, maybe more, and even us without success would likely be worth between £3 to £5b.
The Americans are buying up all of the clubs and will no doubt make it a closed off league at some point.
Closing off the league would probably double the value overnight.
I hope this never happens but the world is a changing place and football as we know it, is long in the memory.

What football do you know? Wooden rattles, standing room only and smoking woodbines, or backpass rule, or 1 sub 2 points, sand pitches in the winter.. It's always changed, and people have been out of touch of normal people for 50 years or more. What do you actually mean?

Jesus FBS you might want to put your smoking jacket on, grab a pipe and drink some chamomile tea. You started taking statins yet for your blood pressure?
