It was said at the last Fans Forum that 1,800 is the break even - an average of 2,000 would see most (if not all?) of the debt paid off by the end of the season and 2,200 would see us make a certain amount of profit.

Would be interesting to see the difference in season ticket income between this season and last as I there was a minimum £40 increase for adults, although I actually paid £85 more than 2011 when bearing in mind buying for the West Stand and an extra kids one. I'm sure I'm not the only one as well.

For this 2000 or 1800 speccies to break even etc. Is this based on what % Adults - kids ratio? Surely as an extreme example we got 1800 kids and 200 adults we would be struggling.
Also the attendance of 1400 at Hunslet - did that include ST's that didn't go?

I have missed something here? What debt, we took the RFL money early to pay off Taxman - what other debt?
If 1800 is break even, as LL states it depends on mix and, as we have already discussed, it seems the policy was to spread income rather than sell season tickets cheaply - income is king how we achieve it doesn't really matter this year.

Maybe debt isn't the right way to phrase it then (although I'm sure that was the phrase used at the Fans Forum), but either way there's a £90k deficit because of taking the RFL money early to pay HMRC.

The mix of adults/concessions etc is generally pretty consistent so I'm sure that will have been taken in to account.

I may be thick, indeed I probably am, but if we take 2012 money to pay 2011 bill, then we forecast 2012 income and as such break even crowds knowing we don't have that revenue coming in. Hence does 1800, 2000 or 2200 cover costs? If they don't want us to know fair enough, they own it, if they do then lets settle on what is needed to do exactly what.

what's the answer for London Bronco's ??
Got 500 more fans than us, in our NRC group game, v Hunslet !!!

I am definately getting thicker by the day 200 fans over 12 games =£24000 pa, this is nowhere near the £90k used to pay off last years tax bill so I am at a loss to understand this 1800, 2000 and 2200 gate income conundrum.
My comments refn PSG and TC were uncalled for last night btw - sorry.

I'm advised that only S/T holders who attend the game, count in the attendance.

So you can add one more that attendance then as I didn't go.

As did I Michael but as you know some will try and gain political capital out of made up figures.
