Is there a difference ? If claims are made, they'll be against the governing bodies.

IMG will soon have this sorted.

Still the judge's view that matters. This won't be a criminal case where they have to prove "beyond reasonable doubt". It'll be a civil case based on "balance of probabilities".

Deciding where the "sensible limit" might be is the problem. You might come to a completely different definition to the judge. It's just an opinion.

Ah ! No true rugby league supporter can resist the pessimism comment.

I didn't know any of that, so less of the "all". None of that imposes any obligatiom on the RFL, though.

Yes. Why should they disclose information which might well be commercially sensitive, just to satisfy Josef's curiosity ?

It's not a question of whether it interests me or you. It's a question of privacy rights. I might turn the question around and ask, why should the average RL fan know what the RFL are doing with the cash they get from sponsors ?

Definitely not mandatory. But common.

If you own the stadium, maybe that's true. If you rent it per match, maybe not. There's no one size fits all answer.

I'd love to know a lot of things but I accept that most of them are none of my business.

Probably. Nothing's ever good enough for rugby league fans.

I gave you too much credit.

Maybe you should've read the report before coming up with an opinion considerably at variance with the facts. It's not all about filling stadia.

Interesting letter in RL&LE from Tom Todd this morning. Too long to quote, I'm afraid.

Why should it be public knowledge ?

New clothes for the emperor.

Barrow did exceptionally well.

It's not remotely true. Most - if not all - clubs had their best seasons in living memory.

Ah - the Makinson twins.

Not surprised, judging by your posting record.

You could find your own, of course.

My money's on the massive loss on Rugby League.

Norway qualified for the 2021 World Cup before withdrawing.

No, it doesn't show up as income. It only shows on the balance sheet. Increased cash at bank, increased debt owing, net effect on profit, nil.
