| Quote hkrovers="hkrovers"Not sure of rfl money but definitely think it was £900k for the boulevard which they said hull would have to pay back if they ever went back'"
So you don't know then.
I do. It was £750,000 as already mentioned.

The same article also states they got £1.25m from the merger.

| Quote Mrs Barista="Mrs Barista"There are 2 parts to a balance sheet, net assets and shareholders funds, which have to balance. You don't just adjust the P&L reserves (in the shareholders funds section) with no impact on net assets.
Take Rovers 2008 accounts. Loss of 447,462, negative movement on P&L Reserves, plus a £250 increase in Share capital = -447,712 movement in shareholders funds
Movement in net assets = -447,712
Increase in Fixed assets = +373,807
Decrease in current assets = -69,036
Increase in creditors = -751,983
Total reduction in net assets = -447,212
Or looking at it another way, Rovers creditors have gone up £752k to fund a P&L loss of £448k and investment in fixed assets of £373k.
Depreciation charge was £108k BTW so relatively immaterial.
Rovers have only £12k cash. Therefore if they are buying say £100k of turnstiles, the double entry is Debit Fixed Assets, Credit - guess what -Creditors. Which are in current liabilities.
You would have the cash, that's right, but Rovers don't have any cash at bank (apart from the 12k). So if a sponsor paid up front for 3 years, that would be Debit Overdraft (Creditors) Credit Deferred Income (Creditors). So net nil balance sheet impact.
There is no full disclosure of creditors, granted. But the facts are as follows. Rovers have lost (excluding the 2009 loss of £450,000 already declared by Hudgell) £1.5m since 2004 and invested £1.2m in fixed assets. Their creditors have increased by £3m over that time period. They have only a minimal cash balance.
It seems that you haven't seen Rovers accounts at all, but make the fair point that some comments are speculation. There are other sorts of information like Dun and Bradstreet reports and also the comments of the chairman in online and newspaper interviews which suggest the club is heavily indebted to its directors. As are most SL clubs.'"
As I suspected - the only people who are worried about Rovers accounts are FC fans hoping something negative happens!
As I keep saying if Rovers go bang then so be it - we have enjoyed the journey - and until that happens lets go about our onfield presence in the same manner - when super league returns our FC fans will have other things to worry about

At least you are resigned to the inevitable  and admit to making the most of the roller-coast while it happened.
It didn't need to have been like that, though. In the words of The Specials "You've done too much, much too young" (in your Super League incarnation). Grudge's greed and power trip could curtail genuine Rovers' fans enjoyment of top level RL for the foreseeable after next season, perhaps for ever.
Great legacy, Mr Hudgell.

So the sum total of your ambitions are to beat Hull FC and reach the top 8?
As for bitter, nah, not me. In the 32 years I've been supporting Hull, Rovers have had the upper hand for about 5 seasons. The last two years are more to do with our failings than yourselves.

Also quotes a very optimistic Mr Richardson as saying "We are now on target to become the only debt-free Super League club by 2001 and that would put us in a sensational position,"

TBF there was a restrictive covenant placed on the land at the time of purchase and it was better for the council to have the land used than to remain barren for years. Also Wastewise pulled out when Rovers went into administraion.
