Lancashire: Old Trafford club makes £4.7m operating profit during 2024

Lancashire made an operating profit of £4.7m for the year 2024 – a club record for a non-Ashes year.

In addition to the profit – down from £5.3 in 2023 – the County Championship club also reported a turnover of £34.1 million, compared with £36.5m the year before.

Cricket match receipts dropped by nearly £3m from £8.3m in 2023 to £5.4m in 2024.

In 2023, Old Trafford hosted two sell-out England men’s internationals – an Ashes Test and a T20 match against New Zealand – but have had a men’s T20 match against Australia and a Roses T20 international rained off over the past 12 months.

The club’s chief financial officer Angela Lowes said: “The weather disruptions to the Men’s IT20 and Roses T20 significantly affected our cricket income.”
