'City would also face a drop in attendances of several thousand and the prospect of paying rebates to their 18,000 season ticket-holders, which could run to hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Season ticket-holders who renewed before the first deadline are entitled to a 20 per cent rebate if City go down but with the club declining to answer questions on finances until after Sunday's nerve-racking finale, the cost is difficult to measure.
City officials have no doubt done their maths already, but it is possible they may ask the fans to waive their right to a rebate - and if enough do that, it could have a significant impact.
However, there is likely to be a significant drop in the number of non season ticket-holders attending matches at Carrow Road - and if that drops to around 20,000 it will again leave a shortfall running into a sizeable six-figure sum.'
interesting.
