I think he's intimating that people other than the players have been taking too much, you don't need seasonal forecasts to set wages for admin staff who are permanent and as such should have their wages set on the basis of the guaranteed income as in Sky payments, so it begs two questions :-

1. what percentage of the wage budget was paid to non playing staff ?

2. who determined what those wages were?

I think the Ridings shop is terrific. That would be a shame but then again the staff will probably be taking a lot isn't one of them Longo's daugther?

Im not 100% sure but a good friend of mine from Leeds told me the shop in Leeds Centre run by the Rhinos closed after a year, it never made any money.

Its strange, if you look round our town centre shops are closing every week.

There is a shop at the ground so why have to split staff have one member of staff at the ground saving every little helps..... Close ridings store may sound daft but its one less overhead. (also online)

How about small things like a raffle on game day to be drawn at half time if a crowed of 8500 turn up we could make a few £££
