You’re doing it again - just repeating the same old thing. Try telling us something we don’t know. And then tell us, if you were in charge of the club, what you would have done differently and, most important, how you would have financed it whilst giving us at least a chance of retaining SL status.

Maybe you are asking the wrong people but if you want my answer
If we go down we will be paying championship wages so the costs are less. And the income from the stadium will be an increase of what we have this season.
And obviously they have your and my match day cost as we'll support them no matter what division they are in.

If you think attendances won’t drop in the championship you are deluding yourself i’m afraid. There is always a drop off after relegation in the same way there us an uplift when promoted. It’s the way of the world, Swinton, Whitehaven & Newcastle don’t have the same appeal sadly whether we are winning them or not. Add in the away support is nothing like as large in the championship and that 4000+ average will likely be comfortably under 3000. Also add in you can’t charge super league ticket prices for championship rugby and we lose the subsequent food & drink sales. Thats quite an income drop. And yes of course sponsorship levels will drop. Our current sponsorship is pretty decent, one of the first thing Carter ever did was put the price if that up and it has risen over the years. Companies sponsor for exposure and as it stands there is no TV deal in place for the championship either next year. Less eyeballs = less value = less income. Trust me the cost is much less in the championship, i know as i’ve been involved in sponsoring a team in both divisions. We will gain pitch rental fees and i am led to believe should we be able to sort the pitch issue others may well be interested to come on board which will help. But with that will come extra costs through maintenance which we will be liable for and the football authorities are very strict on this. Pitch rental alone won’t be the huge cash cow people might think but it will help pay some bills. Likewise the stadium facilities. They will in time provide valuable income but it won’t happen overnight, these things take time and to build up the business there needs to be a concerted effort to push them which will involve some significant promotion. The build it and they will come tactic alone won’t work, it will take a full long term business plan. Will the capital expenditure be there for this without super league income? There have to be some doubts. And without an external investor i doubt we’d be anywhere near being able to operate a full time squad next season without that £1.5m tv money. And if we do it would have to be the kids and that ain’t going to get us to the top of championship. And with the IMG grading coming in it would be a bad time to be on the outside looking in.

Is Max out for the season too ???

I don't think so. It was about 6 weeks.

Yeah, that's what I'd heard...Cheers PT

Who exactly have you asked?
Face to face or phone?

What a ridiculous question even for you. How do you think all the other none SL clubs survive?

It’s pretty obvious isn’t it!

How many clubs have to service a loan of over three million pounds.

I asked the question several times on the forum which you would know if you had looked particularly for those who believe relegation is an acceptable result with little impact.

So as many people have replied, this forum isn't where the people with your answers live, though some have tried to explain to you.
I haven't seen one person say relegation is acceptable. Carter and now JM have explained, in the press why the stadium was the priority.
I'm not sure what other answer you are looking for.
