It really isn't a possibility.

5mil? Really?

There's plenty of stuff to spend that on, you've also got to factor in the revenue from merchandising, lottery, 18th man, half time draws etc. I'm a tight wad and refuse to pay a quid for the accounts but I'm sure Mrs. B will be able to tell you what our turnover is.

Yep, i fully believe that

Leeds are the only ones close that i know of

Sky £600k?
Ticket income 14k av x £15 say x 13 = £2.7mill
Shop £1mill
Sponsors?
Playoff/cup income
Ground sales income (we do get something from beer etc)
£5mill aint far off

Maybe he means full club turnover? Even if we had 9000 pass holders paying the full price, its not 5million

I know we were at 4 mil but another 20% on that, for a few more shirts and season passes?

We understand.

I did say "we have an income of £5mill"

The statement that was in response to was "we need 10000 passes to spend at the cap max", which is £1.6mill

How can 1000 extra passes make that difference?

That will be close to zero then

we contributed to a well attended Playoffs last year, well almost

I think it is, on any season passes you have to include the cost of sale, which is probably higher than most clubs due to the rent on the stadium. I wouldnt even like to guess the expenses incurred by our youth/academy systems also our community work. I don't think Sponsorship would bring in a great amount, and player sponsorship probably just covers player expenses during the year.

It would be interesting to see, given our poor performances in 08 & 09, if we budgeted for a play off game in 2010.

I thought we had the biggest deal in sponsership in superleague with PO

£5mill INCOME is before expenditure

But you asked WHAT DO WE SPEND IT ON!

Ticket income is over estimated for me

Considering the SMC get a decent cut of anything over 8500.
Lets say we have 8500 pass holders with a 75/25 split (adult/kids)

210 average on adult passes = 6375*210 = 1,338,750
£50 kids = 2125*50= 106,250

Total of 1,445,000 an extra 5500 tickets per game at a lesser rate is not going to generate another 1.3m

Because Rule Didn't say that back in early January he said they hoped for season ticket sales of 10,000 and in the next sentence said but whatever happens we will be spending up to the cap again! That estimation on Sky money is way too low too its nmore like double that!

Are you suggesting RP's talking ssssssshhhhhhhiiiiiittttttteeeeeeee?

Super League clubs get over 1M from Sky as far as I'm aware. Also why do people keep quoting that the SMC take a percentage after a certain amount of fans. This is not the case and hasn't been for a few years now. That was the original deal, but was renegotiated a few years ago

Didn't know about the renegotiation to be fair. So whats the deal now? Do we just pay X amount regardless of attendances??

Well Im sure your right, like the time you told us about Crocker.



Since when have I come on here and spread rumours?

I talk alot about your players and coach but thats about it.

I never said rumours just sssshhhiittteeee!!!!

You dont do bad yourself!

Nice one RP.

No More than usual look at his back catalogue of posts its a list of em! This is another occassion when he doesn't hear something properly he just hears what he wants to! and then makes it up

Week in week out I try to best guess rumours etc many of which are way wide of the mark, and yet he has to go all the way back to to crocker, Shows his manic side really I've posted a lot of rubbish since then but if thats all he can remember says it all really!!
