Only enough to keep Leeds RLFC running - the RU team is presumably only a short term loan.

Anyway, in cashflow as opposed to income recognition terms November/December is a very positive period as that is when most season ticket cash and lower level sponsorship comes in together with a goodly chunk of the new shirt sales. So in some respects the end of October could be considered towards the bottom of the company's annual cash cycle.

Fairly sure Headingley beats them

Can't we just sell Headingley as a whole package to Cas??

Job done.

What about the Exiles match? Are you seriously suggesting Leeds invest an extra million quid into the stadium so they can get whatever amount the RFL are paying them to host an exhibition game?

Weren't Leeds United playing their reserve games at Belle Vue at one point? Why would Headingley need an extra 1,000 on its capacity to host them?

Your "build it and they will come" attitude is commendable but entirely unrealistic.

Ah, the Gilder school of Economics.

Forgive me, when you are investing substantial sums in the future of your business, is it generally the accepted course of action to reduce your future revenue stream? A potential thousand less paying punters per week over the course of a season could make the debt repayment a bit more problematic!

And if it's all right with you, yes, I think it's reasonable for anyone seeing the original proposal and comparing it with what's on offer, to feel less than excited.

Ahhhh... that takes me back to the days when the new screen was still just a twinkle in the designers eye. And now, just month's later, there it is doing its job, hoping that one day future human history can bear testament to the supreme influential role played by the greatest and most remarkable Big Screen ever to be erected.

God bless the Screen, and all who look at it. We salute you.
