It doesn't look as if anything got easier:
The figures are from ONS ASHE 2022

It sort of explains the prices some clubs are able to charge based on the greater amounts of disposable income in the South of the country.

I am surprised that Oldham is so much higher than Rochdale. |  |

Whilst you can't argue with the published data, it has to be placed in context with things like housing costs and therefore determine net incomes after core costs. It is disposable income that determines whether people have money for leisure and sport. And hell fire, we only attract 1% of our Rochdale boroughs population - we just need to appeal to people with a higher than median income if it really is that bad.
Anyway, if towns like Altrincham, whose gross income is way lower than I was expecting, can attract as many fans as we can, with higher season ticket prices, and whose club has doubled income in 3 years, there is plenty of low hanging fruit for us to eat. We can all agree on that. And mentioning Alty, they have just appointed an experienced football commercial director to the role of CEO to help drive income and on field success. We could do worse than follow that lead. |  | | |

Alty still top of the north, almost (the difference with York is not significant statistically).
Quite a lot of public housing in Alty which offsets the leafy suburbs | | | |

Appointing an inexperienced CEO like we did with Bottomley was a disaster. Look how we ended up. |  | | |
