I seriously hope not! It's not fit for purpose mate.

My only comment is, No comment

Little Rich is a Self Confessed Genius supporting a club which is now stable after years of financial mismanagement from David Brook & Stan Ackroyd upwards. He know a lot more than everyone else put together on here and he also is level headed with 2 gigantic chips on his shoulder ensuring safety. He should get out more.

Wakefield, Crusaders and Bradford gone bust in three years. Salford on the brink. That's over a quarter of the current SL clubs. Does that sit comfortably with you? I'm not saying SL is doomed, I'm saying that there is a problem that needs addressing but the first time someone puts their head above the parapet they get it shot off. It shows massive insecurity. Go and talk to the directors and benefactors of these clubs and tell me there isn't a problem. It's not insurmountable but it's there. Deal with it.

Yep - and the lesson is there in Halifax for all to see. Massively reliant on a sugar daddy and when that daddy left the club it was brought to its knees. It will happen again to another club. Benefactors aren't immortal.

Why did that sugar daddy leave again?

Two things:



The fans hacked him off through irrational behaviour.



The "hobby" became too expensive.



It's no co-incidence that he packed in when the asset value of owning players plummeted and with the death of the transfer fee.



Why he left is irrelevant. The results of him leaving isn't. I'm not saying clubs should walk away from SD's but the business model HAS to change. I think Koukash is about to do that at Salford.

You haven't actually understood anything posted on this thread, have you?

I dont think that anyone would mind if there was a programme digging into the finances of RL (or any other sport for that matter) but, this programme clearly didnt manage to do this.

Obviously, the number of clubs that have struggled financially in such a short time is a worry for most RL fans and shouldn't be ignored and i'm sure that Big Nige and his buddies at Red Hall will be looking at such matters

Sorry if this has already been discussed, but who are the two clubs who have been afforded charitable status?

Bradford and London ?

I can understand why London would qualify (advancement of sport in 'new' area etc) but can't see OK Bulls Ltd qualifying for charitable status.
