According to info on the Watform forums the Elton John gig earned Watford just under £1.3M pounds. Wonder how much we will earn out of it? And will it be enough to stop our board selling Parkin?

Interesting. I was thinking we wouldn't see much of the money. Perhaps this is why the board seem semi-relaxed about the CVA payment rumoured to be around 900k. We don't have the capacity of Vicarage Road, but if we can earn that then it's possible King may see some of the Parkin transfer funds or *even* try and keep the lad if he's geniune in wanting to stay.
I wouldn't hold it against Parkin for wanting to further his career, but I would absolutely love it if he stayed.

We don't have the capacity of Vicarage Road I think Watford had roughly 23,000 to see Elton, from what I have heard STFC are expecting 20,000. Going by those figures we could still expect to get £1million, assuming the tickets were the same price etc. Personally, I would be very pleased with £1m...well worth missing out on a pre-season friendly. |

Not forgetting Elton's connections with Watford. Perhaps he agreed to give more revenue to them than anyone else.

On our local radio station this morning they said there was 23,000 there, and Watford were getting all the money because of the connections. He wasn't charging any fees etc for that concert.
I guess we will have around 18,000 there (from what I've heard), but unfortunately I don't think we will get anywhere near the figures mentioned above as we'll have all the costs etc, would like to hear how much we do make out of it.
What it does do is give Watford a lot more money to bargain with for bidding for Parkin, still think that would be a bad move for him, he needs to go to a quality club in the championship to further his career. :-))(

we wont get anything close to 1.3m as Elton John isnt a Swindon fan. Infact I doubt we get anything apart from a small price to hire tyhe ground...which the concil probably get a share of as well....

I'd imagine he's commanding a wopping great fee unless this tour is on the cheap for as a favour to the clubs.
All of the admin and work must add up to quite a large figure as well but I'd imagine it should still be a nice little earner.
Hopefully the VAT won't be projected on last seasons gates!
