If you think Brewdog paid anything like £150,000 you need your bumps felt.
25+ years neglect of commercial and supporter based revenue streams will result in fewer than 300 season ticket sales, maybe 100 shirt sales by pre-order and little else.
If you doubt this, wait for the pictures of the soon to be announced club xmas event which will be held as Rosslyn Park and not Plough Lane, even though the latter is a far better suited venue and supposedly "key to our future".
As for central funding. Other than paying the wages of the CEO and the others who have (IMO) stolen a wage in recent years, there's litle point until the club can confirm they are able to go ahead with the ENTIRE 2025 season, including flights etc to France.
I’m just trying to do some beer coaster calculations to get a sense of the task ahead.
BrewDog wouldn’t have chipper in £150k, but with player sponsors, match day sponsors etc I’d hope that it’d be 6 figures.
Judging by the latest signings, they’re not recruiting on a £900k expected budget. -
If they need £900k for the year (was that correct?), they’ll get central funding of what, maybe £150k? They will hopefully get sponsorship of something similar, if Brewdog et al renew. They make some revenue off tickets and F&B, say £100k.
So you’re still needing to get over 3,000 members/season ticket holders. I guess that number comes down with every corporate box sold and some merchandise. Maybe the number is 2,000. It’s a helluva task. -

It could be 2029 before the Aussies and Kiwis play each other in this tournament again. In fact, that could be the next time they play each other at all.
Although I do think the 'super' group will return to the World Cup.
What happens in 2027 and 2028?

I would pit France against Wales in an annual series and get a promoter on board to sell it. Two professional teams deserving of proper coverage.
Unfortunately, the respective governing bodies aren’t up to the task.
As for England? You’re in the wrong hemisphere. -
Good quality match. Junior Westwood looks promising. Who does he play for?

TBF neither would most heartlands clubs.....
This! It’s not like the M62 teams are all sustainable. They all rely on a benefactor, most of whom are childhood fans or the descendent of a previous owner/director.
Step 1: Map out the vision for SL for the medium to long term
Step 2: Everything else
-
Both Aussie teams were superior when it came to goal line defence. They looked very comfortable in that situation — much like Penrith. Where I’d prioritise for teams like PNG:
- Player depth. More players in the NRL or SL.
- Coaching. Particularly coaching for being under sustained pressure (a sure thing against Aus)
- Regular training camps.

I'd like to know a bit more about who's behind this, but in principle I'll sign up if I'm there's a chance if keeping the sport going down here.
Although I do still wonder if keeping the Broncos afloat is the best way of doing that.
Wouldn't it be better to put £90k into starting up a new club in L1 that everyone can get behind afresh?
"Buying a stake in the Broncos" better not mean giving money to Hughes.
There’s no debt to Hughes owed.

Are they doing team lists this year?

If Australia win it has to be Isaah Yeo

With community clubs getting higher attendances, and some sporting more competitive teams than Newcastle, Cornwall etc., you still need to answer the question “what’s the point of League 1”

New River isnt an answer unless the club is about to die…
If DH bunged the Dons a load of cash as a loan then wouldn’t it be in the accounts ?
Well that depends if it was through broncos or just a personal loan using his oil riches.

Here we are: https://thedonstrust.org/files/London-Broncos-Information-QA.pdf
£200k is the (minimum) Championship figure. It goes up to 500k for Super League.
The ground rental is much lower. The range provided to Dons supporters includes revenue from tickets and food/drink. Dons take a % of tickets sold and food/drink sold. They estimated if Broncos were in super league, the attendance would be much larger and their % would grow.
There was also an article by Steve Mascord saying that David Hughes had actually lent money to Dons, and the Broncos stadium rental fee was tied into that loan. No one ever asked Hughes or the club, so I’m not so sure.

Derek said he restructured some of his investment for the img points. He may have lowered some of the sponsorship and increased some of the owner investment to get max points.

David Nofoaluma qualifying for Serbia. I never knew!
Gil Dudson played (terrifically) in Wales’ match against Jamaica, but drops out of this squad? Are Wales taking Serbia lightly?-

Why would they lie?I believe it was still awaiting independent auditing.

It’s another flawed decision by RLC.
1. There’s no indication of a basement or ceiling price for travel. Is Catalans organising, reimbursing, or what? How do you stop either party taking advantage?2. There’s no discretion or expectation as to what these new savings are to be spent on by clubs. Say each club saves €40k, where does this go? There’s no strategy behind it.
3. What resources are RLC using to get a french broadcast deal or sponsorships? ROI is poor. Why do people have jobs? Where’s the accountability?

Hunters went down fighting against Norths in week 2 of the finals.

I thought the RFL got rid of parachute payments the year London last went down in 2019?
Yes, sorry, poorly worded on my part. I meant that the RFL has just confirmed that London will receive nothing upon being relegated. I wasn’t sure if anyone had mentioned on this thread yet.

Has it been reported on this thread that the RFL has confirmed there will be no parachute payment for London?

No need to be condescending. All I did was answer your question.
If you already knew everything I said, then why did you ask such a silly question in the first place?
I thought I must be missing something preventing PNG from being sustainable.

The Queensland cup is nowhere near as strong as super league.
From watching both comps this season I’d say teams like Pride and Norths demonstrate the gap isn’t as wide as you might like to think. Again, it’s subjective and I respect your opinion. Regardless, I think the Hunters are a solid pathway to a PNG NRL team.

You do know that NRL clubs derive a large amount of revenue outside of tv money right? That money isn’t “cream” which goes into the pockets of administrators.
As it happens, last time I looked, there were only three or four NRL clubs which had tv money as > 50% of their income. So there is a lot more needed than just the NRL grant for a club to operate.
As to gated communities being an acceptable thing. I don’t imagine many of those thousands are families. I suspect the only players interested in getting across will be single and looking for an NRL lifeline.
Wow, thank you kind man for explaining how business works. I couldn’t have understood it without your wisdom.
