Wow. Brilliant! Could never have hoped for such good results. Hopefully if we can operate at a profit then SOC will be here for many moons to come. Surely this is us all but confirmed in SL...sorry to count my chickens!

let them try to keep us out this time

We will not be denied - guaranteed

!

Got to say wasn't expecting that. Well done to everyone involved.

ONE MILLION POUNDS IN PROFIT.

This is amazing news for the club. We've obliterated the one million pound turnover required and actually made one of the most positive financial statements in the game. When many are asking for an advance in sky money we are incredibly lucky to have a club being ran the right way for a change.

What a club.

Hats off to SoC

No chance

, some serious massaging of figures there

Let me see , you post a million pound loss one year , then a million pound profit the next

Very clever I'll admit

Team Effort all round! Great stuff.

I’m gobsmacked!



Absolutely incredible figures to achieve in the lower leagues without Sky monies.




I’m not quite sure how the RFL could possibly keep this club of Super League now. This pretty much puts the seal on it.

Thank you, SOC

The million pound loss was due to the massive restructuring that took place after SOC took over. That would not be an issue again – or at least not until such restructuring is required again.

We tick every box, that will do for me


Well done Steve O'connor and the club

Good businessman that I have no doubt Steve O connor is , he would be getting the Queens award to industry with those figures

Turnover 2.5 million one year and make 1 million loss

Following year turnover 2.5 million and make 1 million profit











Cleverly done , brilliant ' PR ' , but utter rubbish



=#FF0000Do not swear. Chris.

Green eyed monsters lurking around today. Gotta catch 'em all!

Any proof Starbug? Any evidence?

Will it be as good as the evidence that Leigh can't run an academy, even though since you whinged about that Featherstone announced they were doing it?

The is sour grapes. We ploughed massive amounts of cash into the clubs infrastructure last year and now we're reaping the rewards. Sometimes I wonder whether you support widnes at all. Rich would never be this bitter.

Utter Rubbish hmmmmmmmmm

Bugger off Starbug.

with all due respect starbug that is complete ass gravey. we actually had a similair turnover last year, but after laying out for what is now widely regarded as the best academy system in the country, paying of a large chunk of the previous administrations debts, and investing a huge amount in new seating and shiney big plasma screens all over the stadium, we made a loss last year. without any of those outlays this year, and with increased sponsorship these numbers are perfectly reasonable. oh and it also helps to have bought shares in the club many years ago and still be rather kindly receiving annual financial breakdowns from the current owners, even tho my shares are long since null and void. so yes, i have seen the numbers, Unlike you. not our fault your lot have orgasms just imagining figures like ours!

So many sour grapes over this announcement we could supply the world's MacDonalds with vinegar for the next century. God knows they need it.

Bloody dry chips.

Who cares we are Super League.

Is it sad I am with the gf but sat with a huge smile on my face over the clubs books?

Who cares! We are Super League, we are Super League

Well done Widnes..Thats a great turnover and I hope it is right. If it is I think SL is yours.

However if you look at your average attendance of 2884 per game, that leaves alot of money found from other avenues.
2884 x £15 (assuming all adult) = £43,260.00

Based on 13 home games...
£43,260.00 x 13 = £562,380.00

With a turnover of £2,500,000.00
£2,500,000.00 - £562,380.00 = £1,937,620.00 to raise outwith of ticket sales.....quite a tall order even for a SL team.

Good luck with your bid and even if the estimates are not that accurate i'm sure you have a good sound profit and will be at the forefront for SL.

We iz well minted !!!!

In all seriousness.... Coming from a Widnes - sounds like "swear filter" "swear filter", or VERY VERY creative accountanting.... Wouldnt mind a shufty at those....


nes

More like £10 per person through the turnstiles accounting for kids and VAT which makes the revenue through fans down to around 400 K , so over 2 million from sponsors , merchandise and lottery

If they sold 10,000 replicas on the back of the NRC final they'd clear another 200 K at £ 20 each , but doubt they would have shifted more than half that , so say 100 K in merchandise

Realistically Widnes on gates of 3,000 will pull in around 1.2/3 per year , to double that they would have needed to make the Challenge cup final and ave 7/8,000 attendances

Boring, let's see Leighs books then pull them apart... Be pretty easy I guess!

Starbug the only place u havnt been spouting your envious rants is the TIW board...what between here and the VT i bet your fingers are at blistering point ,are they not ?

Trolls these days eh....
