  1. Money for the new stadium is coming from the planning gain for Lateral, the seats for the princess street stand, rope in the main stand, screen etc is being funded by the £2m the council has given Cas for community benefit.
  2. Thing is, Cas are putting money into a bodge, not a new stadium, and that's the council £2m. How that affects the quality of the squad, I don't know.
  3. Pretty awful game between two of the biggest clubs in the game. Awful presentation and production, didn't mind the commentary at all.
  4. Is that 13% of the whole TV income rather then just the Championship broadcast deal? If so they they'd be well up. Doesn't make sense otherwise why SL clubs would take 78% of it.
  5. Short drop out was risky, but it's the wing man who ed up, should've caught it.
  6. They'd just been pumped at home, they're hardly likely to be soul of the party afterwards.
  7. I don't think anyone has an issue with councils investing in communities, infrastructure and facilities. There is clearly a long term benefit of that. No issue with Salford Council securing the AJ Bell for example. Council funds going into the daily operations of a club is another matter though.
  8. Whataboutary. That isn't funding daily operation of the clubs. Without it they don't go under.
  9. Not this again. Salford got a purpose built stadium for free, and quite rightly snapped the hand off Peel/Salford Council to utilise it. Trinity and Cas played out of dumps and were financially impacted because of it and the lack of resource fundamentally ended up with Trinity's relegation and Cas' near relegation last season. Salford are still signing NRL players whilst getting loans from a fiancially strapped local authority. The food and beverage isn't going to plug that financial gap and they'll be knocking on their fans doors for more cash as the season progresses, or the council again. They are well and truly spinning plates in the hope one doesn't drop, but that will catch up with the club in the end when the magic money tree no longer bears fruit. On the field they are one of the more entertaining teams to watch in the league. Off field they are a disaster.
  10. Player sales, fan investment, council loans, not far off £1m deficit. That's a large hole to fill, or a lot of pints to sell. Hope you're thirsty Salford fans.
  11. Seems to be a bit of bending the agreement somewhat, fundamentally, all three clubs will have been doing this, but with this decision Fev can use the £2m however they want citing the foundation was as reason for the funding. Have to say I have no idea how Trinity are using/have used the funding. Maybe they went down the same path.
