Quote: dboy "Eh? Oh, "Wakefield went bust and would have done so for a second time if the rfl hadnt chucked a large loan their way".
Well, it remains that they did not go bust even once. They went into administration twice.
The second one can't have involved that "large" an RFL loan, secured on Mr Carter's house - he lives in an ex-council semi in Wrenthorpe!
Well, maybe he doesn't...
I'm amazed that you are trying to find any negative in the way Michael Carter has repositioned the business.
I have no doubt 99 out of a 100 others would use the CVA to avoid paying their dues, rather than risking their own family home and acting with great dignity and responsibilty! He must have been crackers!'"
Thats a bit of a ramble about nothing tbh.
First of all i didnt know the club had gone into admin twice,i never mentioned going into admin twice.
The club went into administration when the scrap metal merchant lost control of the club,yeah ?
Then the double glazing man took over, the club plodded on for a couple of years before he found himself out of his depth.It was at that point the club was about to crash and burn again until Mr Carter stepped in and barrowed a wedge of money against his house.
Fair do's if thats wrong but thats how i remember it
HOW MANY TIMES?????
£20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000.
The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.
There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them.
