So, explain to me what you think the 'perks' might be?

just why exactly are you so dead against someone putting money into the club?

here is my idea i know its a bit far fetched but it could work

Money is tight for everyone at the moment so why not volenteer your time instead of money with a few perks thrown in

Apply for a stewarding position at a local Super league club who play on Friday nights.

Say you work 5 hours @ £5 an hour thats £25 x 13 home games = £325 per person per season

Perks

You get to watch super league rugby for free
You are donating the money to our club so we get better players and all it cost you is a few hours a week
Another club is paying for our team

All money could be paid directly into one account then given to the club at the start of the season and nobody will have spent a penny and you got to watch good rugby for free

Awaits to be slated

Perhaps if enough Fans bought into it we could become the Barcelona of the RL World

What perks would you like?

If you read what I wrote properly I acknowledge that.

Sorry, but whilst you can't argue with extra dosh being needed, the way in which it's generated has to be done fairly.

What no-one is acknowledging here is that it's far from transparent what the businesses take back out again.

Again someone judging others by what is obviously their own poor standards

All the five gentlemen mentioned in the press release, have each put capital into the venture, and let me put it this way, it's alot more than £25 each.

Andrew some wouldnt believe you even if you showed them the bank slips its far easier to be negative (especially when the negative people are self confessed part timers) about good news, especially when they are also confirmed doom and gloomers.

Nice one aparky.these gentlemen should be applauded.

Can't believe some people - they always find a turd in every water-pipe.

Reading the release its pretty obvious that these guys are not just putting in 25 a quid a month - it wouldn't be worth the effort if thats all it was..

They have got off their backside and made a contribution so hats off to them - surely more money has to be a good thing. And we all know that the chances of getting a financial return are very low - but there may well be some positive PR for their businesses - fair do's...

Hopefully more details will emerge as to what membership of this "club" entails - how will they ensure each member gets a say and will it be "one member, one vote"..

I would expect more like one vote per share, the more you invest the more say you have.

Some people just get on my nerves. If someone offered to put £10 million into the club they'd want to know why it wasn't £11 million!!
