Brighton and Hove Albion FC were one of a vast number of businesses and Premier League clubs that suffered because Covid 19 - but just how much did the club lose due to lost ticket revenue?

A new financial study conducted by parimatch.co.uk into the impact of the pandemic on football has revealed the revenue lost per club from missed ticket sales across the Premier League.

Clubs around the globe were forced to play games behind closed doors for months which severely damaged their matchday and commercial income.

All levels of football took an enormous hit, with each division across English footballs top four divisions seeing a 99 per cent reduction or more in ticket revenue in the 2020/21 campaign.

The study took the cost of the cheapest and most expensive matchday ticket during the 2018/19 season, and used the median to estimate pre-covid ticket prices.

This figure was then multiplied by the number of spectators documented to have visited a team's ground across the three seasons.

All comparisons have been made using stats from the last, pre-covid season which was 2018/19.
