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.

Jesus wept. When will they learn?

rlhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_league/super_league/castleford/8885495.stmrl

Yet more stadium waffle. It's embarrassing. They should be kicked out for even going to press with this one, especially on the back of today's RFL bombshell.

It's desperate and it's full of holes. Pack it in Chairmen ...............please !!!!

Quote: SRC "Apparently, after the furore over the article in the League Express a few months ago regarding Toulouse's chances of a Super League license, the RFL, very quietly, amended the Operational Rules. The amendment applied to section A1LICENSING AND CRITERIA FOR A SUPER LEAGUE LICENCE

A1any overseas clubs invited to apply by the Board.
Those Clubs being offered and accepting a Super League Licence for 3 years shall
participate in Super League – for the avoidance of doubt, all Clubs offered a Licence
shall be obliged to re-apply for a further 3 year Licence at the end of each 3 year
Licence period. Those either not being offered a place or not accepting a place offered
shall The Board shall have discretion to set criteria for membership of Super League and
discretion to assess Clubs against set criteria and determine membership of Super
League from 2009.

c) At least one Club that has competed in the Championships during the Licence Period
2009 – 2011 and that meets minimum standards set by the Board will be granted a
Super League Licence for 2012 – 2014.

d) For the purposes of A1

So there you have it. Toulouse can be invited by the RFL to apply for a Super League license and don't have to meet the criteria that all other clubs have to. If any other overseas club 'invited' to apply fails, then they will be offered a place in one of the Championships.

Read it for yourself ...
What a bunch of Dictators, its fascism and communism combined at the RFL.
Whats that saying on that naff programme Big Brother 'You decide?' - well the RFL hierarchy do decide, just what they want.

What other sport would ever settle for rules like this?
So basically they can change the rules as and when they please to suit who THEY WANT in RL in England???
What a joke, they can pick who they want in SL and who they want in the Championship and more importantly where they want them.
How about rewarding hard work and dedication with good management?
Er no, not the RFL as long as you are not from the North of England you are welcome. The same North of England where the game of RL was founded or have they forgotten we were once the Northern Union???
Like others on here I only support my club now = Fax and I no longer support the game of RL, its run by a bunch of crooks imo.

If Fax go then so do I, stuff RL.

it is understandable why they are doing it though. They have to blow their own trumpets and big themselves up and why not? Everyone is saying either Cas, Wakey, Salford for the chop because of stadium issues etc.. Yet nobody has rationally said, hold on Saints are in same boat, Bradford is a hole (literally) and are in freefall on and off the field how about them? So surely those charimen have to push their club and put them into a good light as these other clubs that have just as bad facilities as these clubs are allowed to stroll through the next round of franchises..

Quote: Nat (Rugby_Aholic) "Thats the thing. This season I have been watching Halifax but the games just aren't the same anymore. A good win is great, for an hour or so afterwards. I am not sure that I could enjoy three more seasons of friendlies.'"


WELL SAID NAT, apart from the CUP games, we go watching friendlies, and NOW the RFL expect a minimum average attendance of 2500 (for friendlies) !!!
Only (ex World Club Champions) Widnes have done this in the past 2 seasons.
