Pretty interesting article about Palace’s operation in America. It’s pretty fair for the most part, although calling Selhurst Park “historic” might be pushing things a bit far.
Slightly concerning piece of maths though. The players who aren’t contracted to the club earn between $1000 and $4000 a month. The average attendance per game has been just 378 people. I’m no economist, but that doesn’t sound sustainable to me, not when tickets are sold for $12 each.
