Wooooooo the play offs?Like Manna from heaven that is.Probably one extra game for Bradford.Away.In front of a small gate.Yep,denying them that would be tough.

That's a remarkably simplistic analysis of the Bulls finances. Season ticket prices were IIRC on a sliding scale depending on how many were sold. You appear to bizarrely think along the lines of halving the prices halved the revenue.

The Harris cash, whatever it was, cycled through Leeds' accounts some years ago and is irrelevant to the recent profits.

Leeds had cash in hand of £2.23m and were owed £1.4m by the RU club which it has been funding in recent years. No amounts are owed to Caddick who does not put cash into Leeds RLFC other than marginal sponsorship.

But is that just salaries for the playing staff, or does it include all the support staff (coaches, kitmen, physios, office workers etc)

It includes everyone - but to me it does not suggest the Bulls were in any way recklessly run on the expenditure side, at least in terms of expenditure they could control as better informed folk than me keep telling us about the onerous nature of the Odsal upkeep. But overall theirs looks more like a revenue-based problem - that is hardly a new issue to face RL clubs but is one with which the previous board wrestled for perhaps too long.

There's also added to that the fact that depending on where in the stadium you wanted your ticket for also had an affect on the price.

The cheap season tickets were an attempt to arrest the slump in attendances which was the main reason for the drop in revenue and to recoup the lower cost in terms of concession sales etc. It was a gamble that seems to have back fired
