2015 - major missed opportunity, 2016 - stronger teams = harder task (no problem there then), 2017 - OMG What now!!!:953.jpg

But the rugby side of the business made a big loss did it not.

The sale of the cricket ground will reduce income next year will it not. The turnover is from the business as a whole and not just the rugby sides. If this is the case the rest of the business could just be masking the League side of things. I don't know enough about the Leeds operation to speculate any further on that one. icon_lol.gif

kcab sfrawdder Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_39110.jpg



Surely any money problems in a sport that struggles anyway is a problem.

The club made an operating loss of £324,945, largely due to the unexpected expense of £500k for the South Stand. The figure of £10,599,073 doesn't include the final installment of the sale of the cricket ground (those were on a previous year's accounts IIRC).

Overall, I can't imagine many clubs have increased their turnover by £760k in the past year.

Quote: DemonUK "The majority of businesses are structured to operate at a profit or break even at worst.

Ask Gateshead what happens when the 'one' underwriting it decides enough is enough. What happens also if the underwriter drops dead tomorrow and their family no longer want to be involved in RL and the directors loans have to be returned.'"


lets kill KD asap!!!

Let all the doubters keep doubting and those who believe keep believing. We’re only interested in those in the bubble. Anyone who wants to come in the bubble, you can come in. But you’ve got to keep believing.:86.jpg

No there isn't. For tax purposes making a loss is better than making a huge profit.

our fans moan a lot about our board

but in the context of the below (posted/collated by someone else on the Hull board) they are doing a good job!

Hull FC PROFIT £185,000

Bradford - Loss £17,000
Warrington - Loss £212,000
Cas - Loss £369,000
Saints - Loss £449,000
Rovers (2007) Loss £478,000
Wigan - Loss £592,000 (although debt they owed being written off of £1,175,000 gave them a net profit of £444,000)
Salford - Loss £832,000 (underwritten by Wilkinson)
Huddersfield - Loss £1,377,000 (underwritten by Ken Davy)
Harlequins - Loss £1,819,000 (underwritten by Lenegan and D Hughes)

Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend. -Albert Camus:46524.jpg



I think clubs should have an independent audit every year looking at their accounts.

Clubs that are losing money or taking on debt that is not for ground improvements or training/youth facilities should either be deducted points or have their cap lowered.

Dear Mr Bank Manager,

Please extend our overdraft facility for the next 12 months. I'm delighted to say we've not had to pay any tax this year becuase we lost half a million pounds.

Kind regards

The Chairman

Definitely can see one, though it's not politically correct to name which one
