Hmm, is any RL club self sufficient? Normally this means with a guaranteed backer underwriting reasonable losses.

Fev are probably going to settle into a Batley style rhythm going forwards I think, which is pretty understandable and more sustainable. Yeah we tried and failed but just have to get on with it now,at least no pressure next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fev need to work on getting their house in order if they genuinely want to compete in Super League Definitely got to get our house in order we all know that but SL ? Forget it there's more chance of platting fog despite what some others say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill Halfpenny fan Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Really hope this is not the tip of the iceberg for Fev and they get themselves sorted. 4 2 Just because you think everyone hates you doesn't mean they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Evans Thigh Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 1 hour ago, Tre Cool said: Who's the money man behind Fev? I assume can't be Mark Campbell looking at his recent businesses. If they don't have a wealthy owner they should be more like Batley surely not pushing for promotion every year? Is that the criteria for trying for promotion? Campbell has put a lot in over the years, There are several sponsors, the owner of one puts in a reasonable amount. The club also makes a decent amount from utilizing the facilities in various ways. Campbell and the major sponsor has said they are reducing funding now promotion isn't possible, we'll also lose money from reduced fans due to having little to play for but the budget is still around 500k which is more than enough to compete in the Championship. Hopefully, that passes the test for us to try and finish higher than Batley next year.  Formerly Alistair Boyd-Meaney fifty thousand Poouunds from Keighley...weve had im gid."

Coco Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 I also hope it's not that serious. I had the same thought with Bradford Bulls and look what happened. Loved watching the derby between Bradford and Leeds. Still can't believe what happened with them, and how long it has taken them to return back to Super League. Real disappointment.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulls2487 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 The big issue for Fev now will be to convince players wages won't be an issue going forward as some may prefer to sign elsewhere as don't have to worry about your wage each month.

wasginger Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 I'm not privy to that. But I do know they sponsor Leeds Rhinos and Northampton CC, and are also an international company. Fev usually get told we don't attract International businesses to the club. I make that 3 businesses sponsoring Fev. Bartercard is the front logo on the new shirt.
