Seeing that the accounts are available for public inspection I cannot see any reason why they cannot be discussed on here, but please correct me if I'm not allowed to do so.

The accounts for the year ended 30 November 2008 have recently been filed, and because the company is small, only abbrieviated accounts showing the balance sheet, and excluding the profit & loss account, need be filed. But you can tell if the company has made or lost money by comparing the profit & loss reserves with the previous year.

In the case of Halifax RL ... the P & L reserves are EXACTLY the same as last year, obviously meaning the company broke even for the year ended 2008. "EXACTLY"????!!! you ask. Yes, EXACTLY. So we didn't lose money for the last reported year ... that's all we need to know



Anyway .... just to confirm that Widnes lost £986,380 for the year ended November 2008 as discussed on here several weeks ago, and that does NOT include the £912k spent on intangible & tangible assets as some folk seemed to believe, but the loss DOES include just over £200k depreciation on these assets.

And in November 2008 we were richer than Widnes

Shows what can be done with people running the club correctly & not gambling everything on buying success.

Hopefully some of the football idiots will read it and stop making stories up

I do not think your richer than widnes.We have a rich owner and bigger fan base so that will do for me.

and still lost £1m with £1m turnover

but if he goes your gonna need to do some quick paddling

Could say the same for barrow but he wont as now he a widnes fan.

Yorkshire s!

u16's, u18's and u21's all cost money you know.

Not that Fax fans would have a clue what I'm on about.

Not gotta clue, we only made the under 21 grand final 3 years on the trot.

But no Grand final to go to this weekend though

Of course they can go to a grand final they can come and support us.

Some people forget about the begging buckets that were banded around not to long ago

Maybe you could borrow them and collect for some new floodlights.

Thats cos our Chairman knows his stuff!
