Quote leythkeith="leythkeith"So what your saying is if managed correctly budgetted right and with a trust in place to guarentee an additional income of X per year the club could operate (not flat out and probably not challenging for the honours) at LSV on gates of 2500 with a Benifactor in the mould of AT????'"
What I am saying is that we have one major income stream available to us , that must be the main focus of our attention , everything else is just scratching the surface of our problems
We have a sports club , and we have a business , the sport cannot support the business , the business must support the sport
Also we are not a charity , and the more we behave like a charity the more like a charity we will become
4,000 paying spectators at every match will give us around £ 500,000 pounds of income per season , with other things like Lottery ,LISA and then extra spend on merchandise , central funding from the RFL would allow us to run at the max salary cap , run academies/scholarship and community programmes
It is not rocket science , but it wont just happen because we play in a shiney new stadium or have a good team on the pitch , it requires proper thought processes , time and hard work , these things do cost money , but it would be the best money ever spent
