No need to swear. I was just replying to a post about Rovers needing 10,000 to balance the books.

So Pearson doesnt actually say that then does he, it seems you've picked up on the tag line by the journo.

Look a little harder

Don't feed the troll!

I don't recall any other chairman sledging FC in their matchday program either! I wonder why that is...

What other teams forum is that on then?

Come on Marfa, you know he was right to call you all the C word.

Despicable little man...clearly got small man syndrome, he's all gob!

Some master accountants on here, who in reality no all. All I know is I trust Pearson far more then I'd trust the Grudge.

Every teams

Twice

We have an annual income of £4.5 mill to £5 mill. We can afford a full salary cap, although the last board lied to us and told us we were at full cap.

Whats Rovers income pa?

To me this smack of someone being very bitter that the RL community has jumped in to help the Bulls and he has missed the chance to do the same

Hudgell runs Rovers at a loss at his own discretion.It's the Hull taxpayer I feel sorry for. The Council are lending £2m for a new stand to "bankrupts" and you poor sods are acting as guarantors. Good luck with that.

I totally agree. If Bradford are in this much of a mess, Rovers can't be far off. How do they keep afloat? It's only a matter of time before they go.

What are Hull FCs outgoings?

So its on the VT then.

Be careful what you wish for.
Can Hull FC afford not to have a 19-20,000 home game if Rovers went bust?
You would need to find another £100,000 without us.

Less, we made a profit each of the last 4 years

So much so we bought a player with one years profit.

We would cope. We are doing you a favour more than us. We get a rubbish view at Caravan park and provide you with a solid income. Your in more of a financial mess than us. Fact!

In SL you have had 53 home games, on only 3 occasions you have had in excess of 10k in attendance.

A 7500 crowd means you have lost £50,000, with the 12 homes games a season (excluding the full house we give you) thats £600,000 shortfall.


Will your new stand give you this profit?

It may have escaped your attention, but we did exactly that for several years.

Can you explain how you got to those figures?
Doing some fag packet calcs.

If Rovers lost £250,000 based on an average of 8,300
We would stand to lose around £367,000 if we average 7,500

FC will lose in excess of £300,000 based on an average of 12,600 last season
Now Pearson has pumped more money into the club because of lack of investment
the new break even figure is 14,500 fans

Current average 11,500 so 3000 per game down

3000 x 13 games x £19 (pay on the day average) = £741,000

For now yes. But the expensive KC could be your undiong.
Any news on the new SMC contract yet?

That's enough to get you a GCSE
