VIP units? No but seriously....VIP units? What's that...a shed with a carpet in it?

Matters not a.n.o ... the units are almost sold out! Shed with a carpet in, full monty purpose built units with silver service or something inbetween. I'm not really bothered. If we've got a service our chair/ceo have developed that people want to buy/spend a fortune on (that's def a fact btw not forum BS)...is it not good business regardless of what my or your opinion of those units are??

Whst profits did you post for the 2011 season?

We made a loss. Can't remember off the top of my head but a figure of around 95k springs to mind.
However, this is a projected loss against assetts as the club is developed from a very stagnent position in 2006. The club is solvent and currently in a healthy fiscal position. Crowds are up 38% and secondary income is up some ridiculous figure (apologies, I forget the exact numbers). Craig and Paul have brought in grants and sponsorship like we've never seen.

Regardless of the ramblings of my mate gingdong who's idling his time by throwing maggots out for the fish on here, (why on earth do you keep biting lord only knows), things aren't perfect at Fev. BUT, I'm bloody happy with how they are.
Now, if you're happy with how they are at Fax, then we're all happy eh??

No idea if it makes good business sense. Have no idea what VIP units are. Unuts in this neck of the wood are usually occupied by local business. So why these would require silver service, I have no idea.

Must be worrying for you owner to be losing that sort of money at this level. £100k is a lot of money to make up at this level.

Hospitality units that make money are always good business.
Folks will pay to have their lunch and drinks served all afternoon for a wad of cash. Job's sorted. If that is a good cash generator I'll live with it - however it looks.

Losing money is hardly desrieable. BUT, if capital outlay is taken out f the bank and used for developing the business on and off the field (just remember where we were in 2006) and increasing the income capacity and turnover from 300k to 1.5m, then posting such an annual loss is no issue if the club still has fixed/liquid assetts to call upon when you need it - which it has, big time.

I was at the AGM, this year and last. I'm a bit of a whittler, but I'm convinced the club is in good hands at the mo.
Like I said, If you're happy how Fax are, c'est la vie. Job's a good un! Don't see what the fuss is about.

Well the RFL obviously think so because you get 30 k for finishing top and another 70k for winning the grand final so they think it was a much bigger game

Modular units that can be made into anything you want. Most new charlie chalk type pubs are made out of them now, theyv even built a prison down south out of them somewhere. We made 150k out of the 2 challenge cup games. The main bar itself made 15k the day of the cas game

Cas fans certainly needed a drink with the game you gave them

No they didn't. You didn't get anything for winning that game apart from 3 points.

ANO, why??? Why on earth are you biting???
Gingdong will be sat making his botty get wider laughing in that psychotic way he does that makes his man paps bounce up and down at the responses you give him!

He''s like a sponge in that he soaks everything up! Have you ever known an Hooker to be anything other than an irritating gob-sheeite that you'd want to repeatedly slap purple??

Winning the NRC or winning the league?? hmmmm! I'd have liked to have done both like. Ne'er mind eh?

3 points that allowed us to finish top son had we lost could of been you, big game if you ask me. Anyhow after what iv just heard youl never call modular vip units again. You have lost Barlow to Salford, rhine aint happy and why would he be, thats what happens when you try to keep up with the Jonses and you have no way of earning secondary income, enjoy 2013
