Phenomenal effort & times are about to get harder for everyone so to start this period of uncertainty from a strong position has to be applauded. Some will always see the negative, just as some will always see the positives so don’t be surprised, just accept you can’t please all the people, all the time.
As a side note; some of those figures are eye-watering & would surely discount them being awarded an A?!?

Been excellent from the club since we got a proper accountant in, a massive thank you from me.

Most understand, but there are two or three who are struggling with their 5 year old reading age.

Fantastic effort by the club, well done to all involved in making that happen. It must surely shed a good light on our Licence & grading when that happens.

Sts made huge losses of around 2.8 Million over the last 2 years, maybe they should buy less expensive chairs

"It is anticipated that all clubs should post improved figures for their 2022 accounts, thanks in no small part to the return to normality for professional sport."

They clearly didn't read that last bit then





Huge thanks to everyone at the club for getting us to where we are now

Let's hope IMG are fully independent and give us the credit MC and JM deserve

On whose site?

Independent My Gonads ??

Oh righto!
I thought you meant casforum and took a look at what they were saying, nothing derogatory but they’re in total disbelief at how we’re building a stadium AND making a profit

The answer is.....Good management.

So does that put an end to the Skint, broke talk

It means our spend is restricted to what is recieved. Any excess from last years accounts will likely have been absorbed into last season or the stadium funds.

The Cas forum are saying they have made a profit of 473 + thousand pounds ,some one as got there sums wrong

Report says Shudds now have a total debt of £20 million. Good to hear.

Why is it a good thing to see a club in debt like that?

I felt rather proud reading that. Well done to all concerned.

Much as I’m all for pushing positives this is a misleading story.

These were figures published in 2021 so I’m guessing they are from the 2020 accounts and I clearly remember MC stating we were on target to make a small profit that year. This was fantastic can’t knock it,

However I also believe that for the 2021 and 2022 we have run at a trading loss. A small one I suspect but not a profit unless something has happened I have not factored in.

The last two years have seen a huge drop in income for all clubs, in our case about twenty percent. It’s this that has caused a short term negativity in our accounts.

This is not a bad thing, so long as it can be managed and I think it can. If we can continue down the road of well managed debt then we are fine and will recover.

Whatever our current losses are I’m massively confident that they are still the lowest in the game.

Finally for those still pondering, buying shares will go a long way to giving us a healthier balance sheet.

Your point is well made, though Rugby League club accounts go to 30th Nov so if these are 2021 then they are predominantly for that year.
However, the balance sheet published for 2021 doesn't seem to quite match up with the number published here so not sure where they are getting their figures.

Making a profit wont be included in the criteria !

To make any money in such difficult times is a superb effort from all involved, from the MD right down to the volunteers and, of course, the fans.
It should give us a huge tick in the "plus" column with IMG but, they will probably be too busy working out how to include Bradford in the new top flight.

Profit might not be, but sustainability most probably will.

He's on about one particular club, and if you cannot understand why then it's pointless trying to explain to you hth.

It's never a good thing to see a super league club in debt. The sport needs strong sustainable businesses. I'll happily hammer them 100-0 but there is a difference.
No one benefits when clubs struggle financially.

Couldn't agree more PT, and that was my point entirely

Funny you should think that because the fans of the certain club in question were more than happy to gloat at our financial misfortunes in the past, and were more than happy to see a certain chairman dip into his own pocket to take our players.
As for your last sentence you don't think that shudds benefited then from our financial demise?
