Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, Borson discussed the risks for Newcastle and their fellow Premier League clubs following the latest ticket price hike. “Look, at some point, it’s all going to be too expensive for the fans,” said Borson.

Broadcasting revenue excludes Champions League income from previous cycle.“If the whole project goes a bit stale, there are a lot of seats and it’s easy to get a ticket last minute and therefore demand is not meeting supply, then you’re going to see empty seats, late purchases, more season ticket churn, more pushing it too far. What’s new really is that I think we’re getting to a point where it’s just getting too expensive as a headline.” Newcastle currently sit ninth in the Premier League table following their inconsistent form this season.
