Its a possibility. Who knows whats really going on behind all the lies, bull5hit and spin that eminates from the club.

If Rule said the sky was blue i would go out back to check!

Wish we was hitting that mark! But no, Im sure it was Rule.

I like Rule

The cycle has begun.

It's just good marketing.

So with sub 10k passes we have income of £5 million and cannot spend £1.6 million on the cap?

So i ask what do we get for the £3.4+ million off the field spend????????????

Why you asking me?

Agar is our leader!

I'll be watching a different sport on Sunday, you and smallears in a droolfest

Sorry not you as an individual, more of an open question to "those in the know", although feel free to list what on earth you might think we spend £3.5 million quid on!

I'll tell you now it's not coaching!!

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!
