the most worrying bit of the article reading between the lines is that saints seem to assume they will reach the challenge cup final every year and budget accordingly. where as i seem to remeber Rule saying Hull Budget to go out at the first or second round round so any money above that is a bonus. just seems strange or aragant (SP) to me they would use not getting to a major final as an excuse to be in debt

Almost 2m million in wages other than players? That seems quite a bit.

Bet a fair bit of that is bonuses to shareholders though, with losses preventing them taking dividends. |

Yes we should be thankful that off the field our club is being run in a way that secures its longevity.

No, no. They didn't budget for a Challenge Cup final but the Challenge Cup final attendances had eased the pressure somewhat of paying to keep Knowsley Road from falling down. Without that money Saints felt the pain more. That is all he is saying. |

| Quote: Mrs Barista "Yet the infrastructure, business model, youth development and community programme ensured we were one of only 3 clubs to get an A grade license.
With all due respect, the only transgression you cite that is Rule's responsibility is the Thackray registration one, and he admitted responsibility for that. The hard measure for how "alienated" the supporters are is attendances and merchandise sales, and on the basis of the evidence of record numbers of season passes and merchandise turnover, I'd say supporters are actually fairly engaged in what the club is trying to achieve. To be fair to Rule, after the succession of feck-ups you cite and the requests from supporters for more dialogue, we've had lots of communication initiatives by the club. Airlie Night every week with regular appearances by Rule and senior players, Tell Us, Call a Director, 4 fans forums a year (that Rule and Agar attend), FC Voices etc. Some of these may seem contrived, but they compare pretty favourably with what is offered by other clubs - some have only one forum a year and no board level representation at it for example.
I'm not saying the current regime is perfect by any means, but in the context of the financial performance and communication channels of the rest of the competition we've got very little to complain about (world class coaching debate aside ![]()
agree completley with that, a great improvement with the involvement of the fans, everything is in place for us to be a top club, not just a top four club, but we must look at the very best coaches in the world to deliver what we as fans, with the blind support we give to the club, deserve at least to be entertained and a realistic chance of honours.

Now, as everyone knows, I am no fan of Agar, BUT, how can you play attractive rugby without your first choice 6/7 on the field (and in training), when Horne and Long have been able to play together we have looked a lot more potent.
OK, we haven't been pretty this season, but we play next Saturday with a genuine chance of finishing 4th, that 5 drives and a kick got us there is frustrating, but much less frustrating than finishing 11th having thrown the ball around all season |

Cutting it a bit fine again with the old filing dates are Rovers. Their 2008 accounts are due on 31st August, so they've got, er, 1 working day left to avoid another late filing penalty.  |

Not sure what they can complain about - it's Rovers-related information in the public domain.
