Why would you not include the NRL grant in Football Club revenue?
Because it isnt money directly generated by the club, its amount is really based largely on the success or otherwise of NRLHQ. But yes it can be included, though again it can vary by up to $2-3million depending on what teams the club is running (and other factors it seems that I still havent fathomed out!)

Either way Panthers FC are not generating $50mill revenue. The club is generating $21mill and the NRL grant is $18mill.

It also severely impacts the revenue generation for gate takings, memberships and corporate sales compared to clubs in better stadiums. I guess if you have no confidence you can increase your fanbase and corporate sale appeal then sure, a run down small stadium you're not having to hire (but are having to maintain and run) might make sense.

eg in revenue generation in those 3 game day areas (+sponsorship) 2024
Suburban grounds
Tigers $11.8mill
Sharks $12.3mill

Modern stadiums
Souths $19.2mill
Eels $20.6mill
Cowboys $24.6mill
Once the Shark Park ground and stand refurbishments are complete, which include two new indoor/outdoor decks of corporate spaces in the PB stand, the corporate space on the outdoor club deck above the Chinese restaurant (which is also corporate on game day) and Ground capacity moving back up to 18K from the current 13K, the current waiting list of companies wanting corporate hospitality at the Sharks ground will be able to be serviced. The ground being a building site is what is currently restricting the corporate dollar, not the fact it is a suburban ground!

The base NRL grant is a club entitlement for participation in the leaguie. Of course its club revenue. It can vary depending on grassroots, promotion, prize money and NRLW initiatives though.

Where can I find this information?
