Stadium should have been built where Tesco got located to make it just a bit nearer to the town centre, like we did with The HJ. But a much better location than Knowsley Road as it was only a short walk into town and of course it's great to have modern facilities.

They do need that cladding though as it was a bit windy and cold at times (I wouldn't like to be there when it rains) and of course it looks unfinished.

Why not? If you get promoted into or are a small club playing in the top division and are mixing it with the 'big boys' then that is part of the reward surely.

Maybe the semantic difference between bank and bonus but in reality is there any difference (in any walk of life)

First sentence fails on one word, promoted

I know what you mean, CC ties for lower league clubs this definitely applies and I agree there, but in SL, your business plan should be able to depend upon home support. With London and Catalans bringing next to no fans for the obvious reason, 400 mile and 2000 mile round journeys to deal with, and the Yorkshire sides with the exception of probably only Leeds (1000+) bringing anything between 100-750. There's not THAT much revenue in the grand scheme of things generated by away ticket sales. I'll say roughly £150K after the 10% deduction when for example turnover should be approx £4M - About 4%. As I said, a welcome bonus, but should definitely not be depended upon.

First bit regarding promotion was firmly tongue in cheek my friend!

Although I see what you're saying, FYI, Warrington make nothing from beer and food sales. They rent the kiosks to Heathcotes/Lindley Catering so have a fixed income regardless.

Phew I'm glad we cleared that one up. Although if they sold less pints etc or vice versa, when the lease comes up for renewal......only joking.

Good luck what a time to bea WIre?
