Bolton Wanderers Football Club has reported increased revenues in the financial year ending 30 June 2024 for the third season in succession.
Consolidated group turnover (through parent company Football Ventures (Whites) Limited) has seen revenue climb from £19.4m to £21.3m during that period, representing a 10% rise. The Club’s primary income streams – commercial, matchday and broadcast, all saw continued growth, reflecting the Club’s strategic approach.
Group losses for the period were reported at £11.2m.
This is the fifth year of trading for the Group, following the acquisition of assets out of administration in the financial year ending 30 June 2020.
The financial year saw the Group make significant investment across the entire business, which accounts for the managed trading loss.
Following a solid league campaign in the prior year where the Club finished 5th and reached the League 1 Play-Off Semi-Final, Bolton Wanderers had another strong season, finishing third and this time reaching the League 1 Play-Off Final at Wembley Stadium. The average home attendance of 21,022 supporters was an increase on the previous season average of 18,814.
Chairman Sharon Brittan said: "While the 2023/24 season ultimately ended with disappointment on the pitch, it was undeniably a season of continued progress and growth.
“The Board and I are incredibly grateful to all our supporters, sponsors, partners, stakeholders and colleagues for their continued support on this journey. Importantly, our shareholders remain fully committed to providing the necessary funding to support our ambitions.”
