If Kr had been good enough, you wouldn't be having this money conversation. If Kr don't get promoted,that's nobody else's fault. All this Leigh & Widnes are crap, is daft talk. Believe me, Leigh and Widnes will be ready for the M8s, just like Wire & Cats will be. If you don't beat Fax in your first game, You will be in the brown stuff.

I think Leigh will be ready for the 8s, they're used to it and have looked to change it up. Widnes look a team in disarray and remind me very much of ourselves last year, almost hoping it'll be ok whilst not really doing much to sort the problem. Its almost like a new start for us as none of us have seen our likely starting 17 play together, as you say lose to Fax and we might as well give up then as there'll be no way back from there.

Widnes are the worst out of the 4, I would be disappointed if we didn't replace them, they're garbage! They also deserve to go down as they finished BOTTOM, as Huddersfield deserved to last season.

Eyup Ronnie, nice to see you. These sums were done last year.

So Leigh attracted 11k, last year v Rovers there was 17.5k in attendance. We can go somewhere in the middle and call it an 8.5k difference. £20 per ticket seems high, taking into account the price of juniors & concessions, and junior pass holders have free away game entry. Say £18pp. We make nothing from the bars. Hospitality neither of us know.

£18 x 8500 = 153,000

We also have to knock off a chunk for the Rovers fans that would've bought straight from the club, I believe each club keep 25% of away tickets sold. Assume 4,000 Rovers fans at £18 * 25% = 18k (135k)

Our "deal" at the KCOM I believe means that we only keep 50% of ticket revenue (over a certain threshold, which this is), so the £135k becomes about £68k.

You forgot about VAT plus the cost of fumigating the stadium after the visit from so many east hullers

widnes fixtures are pretty hard. wire at home, you and les cats away. I expect they'll lose all 3 but had they been reversed would have won the 2 at home.

they probably are but have seen them play pretty well as well as the poor games they have played, but it will take some good performances to regain our super league status automatically, better than of late , million pound game on any known form for me , bonus time if not

You of course forget the 30% loss in earnings from early leavers whenever you are behind after an hour.
The w@nkers walk tax I believe it is referred to.

I would bet that DoGMuck and Jake the Prick have never attended a game at Hull City's stadium.

Here is a after thought for everyone apparently Wakefield trinty on Monday face rfl to discuss their ground. There owner says were in a sticky situation due to not getting further on with new stadium.. rfl can ask us to resign our super league place so were asking for dispensation again.. the thing I'm thinking did super league want 13 teams to bring Kr back but wouldn't surprise me if rfl swap us with them.. just a thought I feel for wakey but they have had since lisensing started special dispensation but nothing gets done

You can't fit a round peg in a square hole..13 just doesn't fit.
