18th club, whose next?

[Bukowski]

Why would they get crowds under 20k? Hmmm are we back to Danes argument?

It's a very pessimistic way to run your club, assuming you will get crowds on under 20k in your first year. For a Brisbane club.

 

[Wb1234]

Hmmm, Thats the LC and includes a $17mill grant for capital ex

The football club did well with a nice big hand out from the NRL. In reality the FC earnt around $19mill which would make it no where near the most profitable FC in Australia.

Cant believe you still cant read an annual report after all these years lol

Afl clubs aggregate gambling revenues

told you an nrl license Was a license to print money

Broncos get crap crowds too against some teams

except they are stuck at Suncorp

it’s about maximising profits

 

[Wb1234]

They have corporate functions in the Leagues club - staffed by people they employ

Kayo needs an upgrade to 20 to 25k

yes it’s a dump but like Cronulla they own it

 

[Canard]

What ambition we have, the so called "2nd biggest RL club in the world" plays 4 games yearly at a 10k stadium.

He thought the $15m increase in grant revenue was the increase in the NRL distribution.

Do they, what Broncos games get under 20k?

Whats 'crap'? And if they are well over 20k then that suggests Dolphins are dumb for not playing all games at Suncorp doesnt it? We keep hearing they are nearly as big as the Broncos.

 

[Perth Red]

Wrong sport

Compared to 2022 Eels FC operations lost $100k in revenue. A $3.6million NRL grant distribution increase meant overall their FC was $3.5mill up on revenue compared to 2022 with a total FC revenue of $38.6mill.

Crowds where the rent would make profits small

dolphins have flexibility to switch between grounds

Self fulfilling prophecy playing games at an 11k stadium. Dumb for a Brisbane2 club. Just another reason the decision wasnt a great one if you believe that they couldnt get 20k plus crowds at Suncorp for every game.

Hull kr could play their derby at the kc

Hull KR dont claim to represent all of Hull. If theyd built the MKM were it was originally planned for then HKR would play in it as well. None of which has anything to do with Brisbane2 playing games in a shtty unfit stadium on the outer rim of the city.

Who have the dolphins said they represent ?

'The'

 

[Canard]

The Broncos just had record profits playing exclusively out of Lang Park.

But the "2nd biggest RL club in world" Dolphins are too povo to pay the rent there?

You've already been informed that it's not $50m. $10m over 5 years doesn't mean an extra $10m each year. It means $10m held for 5 years.

Also, this is how much a $10m bank guarantee means

Nathan Tinkler is moving to end uncertainty over his future at the Knights with a $10m bank guarantee

They will not be required to pay a licence fee.
