I am happy you managed to relocate the caps lock button though

As Cilla Black one sang..."Surprise Surprise!"

What little integrity this sport had, is now hanging by a very thin thread, no, in fact, it is totally shot!



What a bunch of jokers!

Regardless of the crowd average box tick, how would we have gone on if we'd been accepted into super dooper league 2012 & had no North stand to offer the paying customer to observe our title winning season ?

Great timing & support from Calderdale council again with their announcement of the crumbling concrete, they've been a tower of stregth to the tax-paying sporting community of Calderdale.

BTW, Didn't anyone get a receipt for the work done ? Surely it's still under guarantee...

Let's say you win everything in Championship with average attendances of 3000 and get to Quarters of the Challenge Cup. Here's how your accounts could stack up.



Totals
Gate Receipts Season(12 Games, 2 NRC Group, 10 League Fixtures)
Gate Receipts Playoffs(based on 3 games @ 3000 per game, £10 entry, split gates)
Grand Final Gate Receipts(based on 4000 tickets @ £10 entry, i would only expect you to get tickets sold money at best)
Grand Final Winners
NRC Knockouts(Quarter & Semi, 3000 @ £10 entry, split gates)
NRC Final(based on 4000 tickets @ £10, entry)
NRC Winners Prize(Guess, don't know what this figure is)
CC 3rd round(3000 attendance but 1500 @ £10 Amatuer opposition, not split gate, but season tickets free)
CC 4th Round(3000 @ £10, based on championship opposition, not split gate)
CC 5th Round(8000 @ £10 based on SL opposition, split gate)
CC Q(10000 @ £10 based on SL opposition, split gate)
CC Prize moneyQuarter final prize money (Guess, it's about £8,000 for 4th round)

So a club could turnover before sponsorship or other revenues is accounted, comes out at £850,000. Still £150,000 short of the £1,000,000 required for super league application. As we know, no one has won everything this year or last so no one is near the £850,000 on field performance/attendances money.

So there is a lot of money to find to fill the void left to make up the £1,000,000.

Cool little set of revenue streams there BF www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague ... Super.html
