That's easy. Rovers charge a set fee of £250k. They have nothing further to do with it. All other income belongs to the organisers.

OK that's less than a years wages that you paid to Reynolds but it's still good business.

How much do Rovers make per year on average on these events then, £500k?

Quote: Mrs Barista "How much do Rovers make per year on average on these events then, £500k?'" I doubt its that high. The three cancelled during Covid lost us £250k, So i doubt this years concerts would net £250k each. https://www.stroudnewsandjournal.co.uk/ ... ronavirus/

Rovers had 2 big concerts cancelled because of COVID and the club reported that had cost them £500,000.

Obviously it depends on how many concerts per year and how big a draw the artists are.

The Who and Rod Stewart may be of a certain generation but they still command a huge following, If I wanted to sit in my Rovers seat to watch them it would cost £160. All of that goes to the organisers plus all associated extras like food and drink.

Rovers just get their guaranteed £250,000 per concert no more no less.

the guarantee must have gone up a lot then as the three concerts cancelled because of covid cost £250,000 in total not £250,000 each

“The deals we have with those three concerts will net us at least £250,000 for those three events so you can image the size of that hole.”

*sorry East you have already pointed that out.

The article doesn’t say anything about who pays for the police, stewarding, insurance cover ..
I would have thought kr would pay that as ground owners.
Simon Moran, the Warrington owner is a music promoter and their ground capacity is bigger than kr ground.
Makes you wonder with his contacts why he has not held concerts if there’s that much profit to be made.

So how come Hull Kingston Rovers (Events) Ltd has only made £136k in 5 years of trading?

The years of income, doesn't match the dates we've held concerts? This subsidiary of Rovers is clearly used for something different to the organisation of concerts.

Spot on

Pearson has been alot better than likes of hetherington/rule/plumber

People wanting Pearson gone has careful what you wish for written all over it

Cause we'd struggle to get better than him

The players are the sole problem no one else

The fish rots from the head …..simple as that
He’s been there too long for it not to be his fault

He’s just a really nice guy and too soft as a
Man Manager

Softness breeds laziness and after that a cancer breaks out from the laziness

AP let this happen slowly over 10 years and presently only Tony Smith can help Adam

Are you deserting AP in his hour of need?
Thought you and him were tight mate?
You were always wanging him an e-mail back in the day..........

Don’t get the hate for Pearson personally, the facts are:

1. We wouldn’t have a club without him.
2. Up until last year we have one of the most expensive squads in the league
3. He’s funding the club with no support and he clearly needs it.
4. He’s signs off on recruitment, he doesn’t do the scouting.
5. He’s not thrown his toys out the pram and threatened to walk away
6. He’s always been willing to take losses paying deadwood off.
7. Pre Covid we had never ran at a loss

People hate on him when realistically he has the most expensive season ticket at the club.

Right now times are tough, but In his tenure he’s provided us some of the best times. He can’t be blamed for underperforming squads. That’s down to the coach and players.

It’s clear we need another investor but that should be to supplement him, not replace him. He clearly loves the club and treats us well. And most importantly better the devil you know.
