Former Metalist Kharkiv President Alexander Yaroslavsky set requirements for fans and commented on the project’s financial component for a possible team revival:
“Ukrainian football has never been a commercial project. It is impossible to make money there. First: there is no advertising. European competition: Clubs participating in the European competition receive around 200 million pounds a year.”
In addition, a ticket to a match costs an average of £ 100. A club like Chelsea receives around £ 80 million a year from tickets. Yes, there is now a pandemic, but this is a temporary phenomenon. And our ticket costs 2-3 hryvnia. At the same time, 50 people go to football.
When Metallist was there, we collected 40 yews at the stadium. When I return, I will have a requirement for Kharkiv fans: at least 30 thousand people in the stadium. Then I’ll play soccer. If not, let them have what they have.
We will definitely sign an agreement with the authorities so that there are no misunderstandings with the stadium. Everyone should be responsible, if you want football, go away.
And the fans are also good. They said, “Where’s Metalist?” We cried, they shed crocodile tears, and when it was necessary to protect Metalist, no one opened their mouth. As soon as Kurchenko arrived, everyone fell to their knees and started clapping. And how did it end? I warned them: “Guys, fight.” But I was the only one who fought, “Yaroslavsky said.
