Something about preseason friendlies I always wondered..

So when you schedule them it tells you something like the income and the cost or whatever. Can anyone explain 100% how that works?

I always assume you're paying the other team the fee, and the income is income but is that AFTER the fee, is that before the fee, is that inclusive of ticket sales etc.? So if I'm paying Barca 300k to visit me, and my income is 250k am I losing 50k or making 250k?

Thanks!

it will be income less fee. Easy way to make money by looking to making biggest net gain

Be careful though. Maybe it's just because I manage a lower league team, but what I find is that the income seems to be predicated on a high turnout, but what happens is the usual dozen or so supporters show up and the match fees plus the payment to the visiting team leaves me badly out of pocket.
