You're missing the point. We need more of the better rating games, like the Hull derby. We don't have enough of them and proposing to eliminate some just makes the starting point even worse, never mind the damage it would do to the sport in those areas.

No, me either now. I don’t think you’re missing much.

The only striking change I noticed was ‘other borrowing’ which increased by roughly £1 million. I guess that might be the emergency govt loan. But it is only a guess, because I don’t have any expertise in this area and even if I did, I’ve a suspicion that there’s not enough detail to say anything very definitive.

One thing I find curious (not meaningful, just an oddity) is how precisely the intangible assets are valued. I presume this is the player registrations and maybe the estimated value of a place in super league - if you wanted to transfer all the assets to a new entity, as a going concern, how much you’d be able to realise for creditors and shareholders of Hull FC. Last year it was £1,777,649 and now it is £1,650,880. Like somebody has really worked it out. Surely it is a bit more like valuing a house, and you’d just round off to the nearest £1000 or £5000. Or maybe they started with a round number years ago and there’s some sort of adjustment they apply each year. Appreciation and amortisation algorithms… possibly. Adopting a rigorous approach to updating a purely notional valuation is… I dunno, there’s a kind of sweetly futile conscientiousness to it.

1 - Yes, although a. club have adopted this approach since pre AP's tenure and b.no impact on the P&L.
2. Agreed, and explains partially increase in cash.
3. Plus more re fans paying by DD than upfront now.
4. Made a profit.

So did we make a profit last season or sneaky accounting?
