Premier Foods must have a sizeable chunk in their Bisto advertising budget. |

If we campaigned to bring back beer and fags sponsorship, we'd be rolling in it. |

Well said. |

Maybe the RFL and SL should become realists instead of dreamers. Having said that what is there to dream about, especially as the expansionist dream has turned into a very nasty nightmare (again), and it will continue to be so until they all wake up.

Yes I am, just I have sense with it. Unlike you who supported Crusaders and look how that worked out, it was pure stupidity to put them in SL and it was so obvious what would happen. |

Well I don't have any CEO experience so maybe wouldn't be the best person, but I'm sure I'd do better than you. Still I wouldn't have done serious harm by letting the Crusaders in |

Richard Lewis. ' We have a great game , it is exciting fast and skilful, you get 100 to 250000 viewers per game, more people watch it than RU, we would like you to give us £85 m so we can move the game on.
Ruoert MUrdoch, ' But advertisers are not interested in your poxy, little parochial sport. Apart from Gillette who want to sell razors to you hairy
@r sed northeners. You have no international game you are a joke. You cannot even spread the game except in a corner of france i will give you £75 m the same as now.'
Quote Durham Giant
That would be the same BskyB that charges more for adverttising durign RL matches than for RU ones?

| Quote ROBINSON="ROBINSON"Interesting argument, but here's another dimension.
Never mind the clubs - what if the RFL themselves found themselves in administration? What would happen then?'"
Definitely a good question. It's probably not something that's on the horizon, but information freely available from Companies House shows that the RFL had losses of around £800k each year to Dec 2005, 2006 & 2007 and only made around £200k profit last year. The Net Worth shows a defecit of around £1.9m. If any of the applicants for SL licences last year had demonstrated such performance it's unlikely they would have been playing in SL now!
The one thing that has improved year on year is that amount of cash held by the RFL (£4m at Dec 2008 compared to £900k at Dec 2005). You'd need to work out what the true cash flow is to find out how they've done that as it could be down to a simple matter of the timing of funds in & out.
The question that all of this raises is whether the RFL really hold the moral high ground over questioning the ability of clubs to manage their finances or is it just a case of the pot calling the kettle black. |
