Why isn't it?

Surely it wasn't Odsal that wasn't viable but selling tickets for next to nothing for years that made it unviable?

Well we've been paying SL ticket prices for the last two seasons so your argument doesn't really stack up does it?

I've read on here that even in the early 00s when drawing 15,000 averages you were still losing money , certainly isn't viable outside SL

Spending money we haven't got has been our down fall and not paying the HMRC

4,000 people paying Super League prices doesn't compare with 15,000 people paying bob all. If we'd had been managed properly 15-20 years ago then we may have never got in this mess.

15,000 fans probably paying the same as the equivalent of 7,000 Leeds or Wigan fans.

Remember the days when you could buy a T&A and get in for £5?

I also think that's set a rod for our own backs. When we could get in so cheaply for years when we were dominating, it creates quite a psychological block to paying £20 to watch us play Featherstone.

So youve answered your own question , buying a fan base doesn't work

I still don't understand why Odsal isn't viable?

It's like buses, you wait from 2011 until 2017 and then "KAPOW" seven posts (out of thirteen since 2009) come along all at once. Have you bought the account from someone?

Quite apart from Odsal being just about the coldest place in Christendom and a bit crumbly, there are too many outside interested parties. Administrator is not professionally bothered by that. Green wants his pennies back. Odsal therefore white elephant - and with the ban in the ivory trade not worth ought bar all the very many above mentioned, non-sporting uses.
