I think you have made some very good points there  |

Lottery needs re-vamping - £2 per week maybe ?
I would also look at getting rid of the contractors who pay a yearly rent for the Burger vans, Coffee stall, Pie & Peas stall excetera. There is more money to be made by doing this "in-house".

Whilst I think you make some good points I still think the biggest restrictor on our revenue is the stadium, or lack of. |

In the likely event of no serious/viable interest the divisive arguments about the merits of the current management would be largely academic and a more unified/focussed effort by club and fans may result.'"
Sounds familiar - almost exactly what Richardson ended up having to do with WTW, although our club ended up having to go into administration before it could be rescued; that will stay with us for a while, both in our ability to attract and retain staff and in the snide comments from fans of other clubs.
On the revenue from catering issue - our previous BoD had that all sewn up by one of their own; I gather that since we took it back in-house, it's become a significant revenue stream, so there is a precedent for that working much more in the clubs favour. |

Exept this
You really are desperate. If you take away the administration issue which as has been pointed out more times than even a dobbin like you requires no longer counts. Then there is no difference between the two clubs as far as any open minded person could detect.
Our stadium situation remains the same as your, uncertain.
So it would appear we were both saved from having to slug it out by Halifax inability to make SL standard and Crusaders failing.
That is how it is and no amount of one eyed spin can change that - both got grade C licences with reservations regarding the stadiums. Anything else is speculation and if that hurts your macho and blinkered pride so be it.
If you want me to speculate, tough I won't. Follow Cecils advise and stop indulging in willy measuring contests. Games both clubs remain ill equipped to indulge in - or in other word grow up.

Sound exactly like it to me. I am not privvy to knowing what sort of a state Cas are in right now, but I shouldn't think many SL clubs are more than 8 weeks from going under at the moment. So do tell why Cas are any different - I've read last year accounts by the way and I see nothing to suggest you are. |

Quins - "the club remains dependent on the financial support of its Chairman" - C grade
You would think that these would be massive minus points against each club.
"At present Castleford are a well-run, sustainable club that lives within its means" - C grade (Just scraped in if you believe all you read)

Aye, looking at that it would seem the Fax chairman's comments that the main thing counting against them was the lack of a wealthy backer has some basis in truth.
Of course, that's putting aside the indications that their (Fax's) franchise application was ineptly prepared...

It's amazing what you can find out reading accounts.  |

Almost as much as you can reading RFL critiques on the licence applications.

"I've read last year accounts by the way" - No you haven't. They haven't been done yet. The share holders meeting (AGM) hasn't taken place yet. First sight of any accounts (2010) from RG Hiltons will be by the shareholders.
