Re: Fund the league by a small supplement on every game ticket?

You are probably right as I don't know what other funding the league receives from each club other than Play Off revenue? Does each club fund the league as well at the start of the season? I don't know how you would go about finding the total league revenue? On checking walk up adult ticket prices a...
