BIG CLUBS WEATHER ECONOMIC STORM

Now that football is finished until the autumn, a review of the past season from the financial point of view is interesting.

It shows beyond doubt that the professional football "industry" has weathered the economic storm with comparative case, and that, what- ever the fate of other forms of amusement or endeavour, the big football clubs have little of which tu complain.

Gates have on the whole, been up- to the average, particularly in the South. In the North the position has not been quite so antlafactory, as here the clubs have had to con- tend not only with a phenomenal dearth of shillings, but also with a movement of population.

This movement has followed the factories to the South, and helped to swell the gate receipta of the southern clubs. But even so, in every part of the country football has maintained its hold on the musses.
