IIRC the "need to move" was first raised in 2012.
Why?
Match day costs coupled with marketing and marketing staff delivered a cost of £525k and a revenue from tickets, Season tickets and commercials of £543k....so £1,400 profit per home tie.
Administration costs were £532,000.
Coaching costs were £524,000
The Academy costs was £129,000
If I were going to swing the hatchet, I'd have started with Administration and the Coaching Staff who between them deliver 48% of the LOSS made by the business. How many coaches were costing us half a million?
£10,000 a week on administration? Administrating what? This is EXCLUDING the marketing and marketing wages....which whilst I am on it, doesn't add up either.
£205,000 marketing spend spent by a department on £100,000 wages
Hey, London Broncos will play out of the Hive in 2014 and there is nothing that can be done to change that, but accepting either the logic behind the move or that it is "good for London Broncos" is accepting and rewarding failure. IMHO that is!
