Quote: Starbug "Possibly both short term, but I'd suggest that our income now is around half of what it was 10/12 years ago, so the target has to be to increase ' earned ' income , otherwise we are doomed to failure, not forgetting our largest ' outgoing ' is players wages by a huge amount'"
I agree. We can only cut so far. We've got to get more fans through the turnstiles, (easier said than done, when you see the similar problems at all Championship clubs) and attract/welcome/retain more sponsors and advertisers. As a small example, we have about
[size11[/size advertisers in the programme, not all paid for, (e.g. the RFL official competition sponsors) while Featherstone had
[size42[/size. With total respect to the town/club of Featherstone, can anyone argue that they are suffering less from the economic downturn, than Leigh is?
