| Barrow as anybody else can do what they want. Barrow can dream they will be in SL-but it aint going to happen for a while with that Pigsty of a Stadium which does not even have proper lighting for the Championship let alone SL! The Couple of Barrow fans on here are nothing other than knobs who have no life and try and stir.
There is only 1 team really prepared for SL-and it aint Barrow or Fax. I think most Fax fans are realistic enough to realise this. Barrow fans by looking occassionally on their forum seem to think they deserve a SL place. Des the Chairman is a charactor that I personally do not like and would not trust-but thats Barrows problem/Fortune.
Whether clubs make a profit or not does not really interest me. What intersts me is how Fax are doing and that the game is moving forward. It makes me sad to see clubs struggle like Doncaster, Gateshead etc.

| I'm amazed at the financial knowledge that fans have of each others clubs, never mind their own.
It would seem that Barrow's and Halifax's accountants reveal their respective clubs' expenditure and income to fans to post on forums like this to be debated (is that the right word?) by obsessive and compulsive anal retentives with not a clue on the workings of a sporting club. (I don't know how they work, so I don't enter the fray.)
Btw, Barrow fans - if this forum is so obsessed with your club and Diamond Des, why are you on here all the time?

I simply stated the FACTS about Barrow's accounts, I wasn't questioning their credability. But you came on here like some crazed lunatic claiming we're all obsessed with your pathetic little club and are having a dig at Fat Des. It's all in your confused little mind.

| Quote ="SRC"You guys are obsessed with goings-on at Barrow aren't you.
Last years' accounts are pretty meaningless, especially as .....
Crowds in 2009 were up almost 70%,
Have a turnover of £800K+ in 2009 to-date (season tickets have yet to go on sale which will greatly increase this figure),
We got to 2 finals in 2009 and topped the league,
Are due to post a £100K+ profit in 2009,
Have, in the last 8 weeks, increased the club lottery income by £600 a week (£30K PA), a figure that is still growing weekly.
On top of this, the club has NEVER been been wound-up, even during the very dark days of the mid/late 90's and we own land worth approx £5M.
I'm not obsessed with barrow, I simply posted on a thread about barrow. Everything I said is correct.
I've said numerous times we'd love a chairman like DES. Your he one who's on the fax board every 2 minutes......which you are more than welcome to do as far as I'm concerned.
Regardless of DJ's input, we are more financially sound than 95% of Pro RL clubs - including most SL clubs. The most important thing is that the RFL know this as well.
No story here I'm afraid.'"

So ... when Barrow don't retain their trophy in a year or 2's time and you get some pist up dockers prodding Des in the chest wanting to know why, let's hope for your sakes Old Des don't take his bat 'n' ball home.'"
I think it is pretty clear from your above post what your motives were for starting the thread.
I also like this quote "But you came on here like some crazed lunatic claiming we're all obsessed with your pathetic little club".
You started a thread called 'Barrow' and posted our P&L for 2008. Also, Des Johnson's name is mentioned on this forum more times than your own players or coaches. I think that does make some of you obsessed - as earlier Fax posters alluded to.
I'll stick with my 'pathetic little club' thanks and look forward to 2010.

| Quote ="cashfax"Having spoken to the Barrow lottery manager earlier this week, I can confirm that they have recruited over 600 members on thier lottery in the last couple of weeks.
With a membership of 6,000 they do indeed have a lottery that they can be very proud of.
The promotion involved everybody in the club, from the chairman to the supportes who really backed thier club by recruiting new members.
With all this extra income it really does give them an advantage over thier rivals, including us unfortunately.
Credit must go to Barrow for this.
Cheers
Richard'"
So we have lost our mantle of the biggest lottery outside SL now Richard?
I am surprised but will accept what you say, well done to them, how many members do we have then?

Some confusion here.
You never had that mantle. As I stated, the Barrow lottery was the biggest lottery in the country until the introduction of the National Lottery and, I believe, has remained second only to that.
I really don't wish to argue over the matter of finances. Both our clubs appear to be in a healthy situation, both provide entertaining and highly competitive rugby.
So lets stop arguing and gang up on them Widnes b*****ds! hahaha

Without looking at Google - i haven't a clue. But styler thinks it's this:
=blueThe basic theorem states that, under a certain market price process (the classical random walk), in the absence of taxes, bankruptcy costs, and asymmetric information, and in an efficient market, the value of a firm is unaffected by how that firm is financed. It does not matter if the firm's capital is raised by issuing stock or selling debt. It does not matter what the firm's dividend policy is. Therefore, the Modigliani-Miller theorem is also often called the capital structure irrelevance principle.
We have massive thread drift and it's my fault. I apologise.
Did you know that Barrow-in-Furness is a large industrial town which grew from a tiny 19th Century hamlet to the biggest iron and steel centre in the world, and a major ship-building force, in just 40 years.
If they can do that to the steel industry what are they going to do to Rugby League? It's frightening. Des is the new Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

| yes littlerich but you forgot that their modified model incorporates hypothetical 'bankruptsy costs' meaning that a highly levered firms capital structure actually can and does affect a firms stated value, however unreliable this estimation may be. I learnt this riveting stuff in my corporate finance module.

I'd ask for your money back - they didn't teach you the correct spelling.

2,300 average fans x 12 homes games (10 league + 2 NR Cup) @ £8 = £220,800
5 Split gates @ 3,000 fans ave (including Wigan sellout) @ £8 = £60,000
Corporate boxes (7 per match @ £400 each) = £2,800 per match x 15 matches = £42,000
Club sponsorship - not sure but £30,000+ I would think
Prize money - certainly over £120,000
Bar/refreshment/merchandise - certainly over £50,000
Goldrush Lottery - £6,000 per week = £312,000
TOTAL - £834,800
With season tickets to go on sale soon I think they will add £50,000 - £100,000 to this years turnover.
We won't know the real figures until this time next year, but I don't think I'm too far out. The final figure pretty much ties up with what was announced at the fundraising meeting.'"
you can't ad season ticket sales to this years turnover,, season ticket sales will be treated as deffered income and form the starting point to the 2010 accounts
