Sponsorship and advertising income also increased, rising to £1.883m (2022: £1.053m).

The increase in football revenue £1.314m (2022: £0.531m) was attributed to the club's success in the FA Cup.

The financial losses suffered by the club since the takeover should not be repeated due to income generated now being sufficient to meet the operational costs going forward.
