Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Not really , basically it cost Steve O Connor close to a million quid to clear various debts , set up staffing levels, pay for a SL licence application and buy a load of new seats for 2 sides of the ' Stobart '
With a turnover of close to a million they should be breaking even this season or potentially making a profit with the NRC appearance

big credit to Widnes for publishing this detail (they dont have to) but the figures are worrying;
I'm no expert but Profit and loss is based on income less period related costs. Paying off debts and buying new seats aren't period related costs. |

Basically they brought in 916 K but spent in total 1,892 a loss of 986 K , but 837 K of that was spent on one off type payments/investments leaving a ' real ' loss of 149 K in the 1 st year
Scary to me and you but in the world of pro sport , small potatoes

No he doesn't , he has a share of Stobarts , he sold his company to Stobarts for a reported 30 million
He has spent around a million of that on Widnes last year , but this year he may well break even
Your ' horror ' at those figures gives me the impression you dont understand them |

Yes but they have stated that 837 k of that loss is down to takeover , infrastructure , set up and SL application costs
Leaving a ' real ' season loss of 149 K
This season the figures will be income 950 K , costs 950 K , or something fairly close to that |

Widnes will have good liquidity.
Obvious they will lose on year 1. That will soon be re-couperated.
No championship club get anywhere near a 1m turnover, hence the reaon they are one shoe in. Fax will need to double their gates to get anywhere near this! |

snowy is a leigh fan, he's not trying to get involved in any bickering between widnes and fax and whose dick is the biggest, but merely pointing out that halifax (and any other heartland championship club) have to increase their attendances to widnes' level to even stand a chance of an application to sl to be successful |
