Burton Record £293,000 Loss

Burton Albion have recorded a £293,000 loss for last season, thanks in part to the construction of their new stadium.

The wage bill increased by more than £2,000 a week as the side moved towards full time status, with the £201,000 gate receipts covering barely one third of the total wage bill, but interest on loans saw the loss rise significantly.

One interesting point to note is that Burton spent more on total wages last season than the Bulls - £630,000 to £615,000 - but their turnover was almost half that of the Bulls.
