Quote: Saints_fan_6 "I've not heard anything about this yet, but as I've just read on the Wigan board these losses come on the back of many final appearances and cup wins, top place finishes and so on. With attendances being so low and us not doing so well this year I can only estimate that the losses will be bigger next year. How can we turn this around? We are moving into a new bigger stadium where ticket sales will certainly increase but surely ticket sales alone wont stabalies the losses.'"
I would hope that moving back to our own stadium (where attendances should improve and we wont have to pay Widnes 15,000 per game to play there) should make a difference. A lot of money will have been spent on the stadium also which wont have to be paid out either from next year...I think if anybody can sort the finance out it is MCManus - after all he took us from 4 million in debt to operating at a profit before and managed it without selling any big name stars. Lets hope it is just being blown out of proportion a bit
