Scarborough FC in 2007 , I believe was the last league club to go out of business (can't think of any after that)

By looking at the figures I'd be more worried if I was a rovers fan. Bradford are in turmoil yet figures indicate they have been better financially then rovers. Bradford haven't got a board that will throw money at the club like Hudge and rovers. I feel genuinely sorry for HKR. They will never get 10,000 per game

The man is a moaner, and a self-serving one at that. However I DO agree with two of his points :

1) The RFL chucking money at "expansion" is the wrong thing to do. Will they ever learn ?

2) A 14-team SL is too big.

Unfortunately the clubs are their own worst enemies on the last point - all the club owners want more games to get more gate money (which outweighs the fact they only get 1/14 of the SKY money rather than 1/12), but the coaches and the players want less games.
The game has shown that there aren't actually 14 "elite" clubs. Wakefield were kept in because of Crusaders pulling out, and can anyone really say that London are "elite" ?? When you look at lame duck strugglers like Bradford, Cas, Salford, Widnes and rovers there are probably only 7 or so truly "elite" teams in the country.

Yes, the man is a complete rear-end but on these 2 points he is correct.

scarborough wasnt a league club when they folded

To make sure clubs don't go bankrupt bring back the 50% rule.

Obviously Hudge will spend all his time looking at ways how to get around it.

Never ever, not if hell froze over, would I ever feel sorry for those people

This

I love it when they are in SL. Easy points! As for there future, the only way they can survive is to get 10,000 fans as Hudge says. They won't be around in the next few years if something doesn't change. Saying that, how does Cas post huge profits yet rovers lose a hell of a lot of money. Don't they have similar gates? The only thing i can think of is that Rovers have a bigger wage bill.

As a matter of interest, roughly how much money have the RFL 'chucked' at expansion clubs?

People moan about this a lot but nobody has yet come up with any figures.

Yup. Should never have been removed, but ironically it was the clubs who requested it.
