The BarnsleyFC revenue increase was mainly driven by broadcasting income rising £0.9m (13%) to £8.2m, due to higher central distribution from the EFL, and commercial & sponsorship growing £0.6m (38%) to £2.2m. Match day dipped slightly (1%) to £3.6m.
However, BarnsleyFC saw a fair bit of cost growth, as “significant” activity in the summer 2017 transfer window meant that wages rose £2.0m (23%) to £10.6m and player amortisation more than doubled (up £1.2m) to £2.2m. Other expenses were also up £1.3m (38%) to £4.7m.
