Does anyone know how ticket sales are going?
Are they expecting a big crowd , or small one?

it's raining - pretty heavy - but should be good by Monday - and the work they did on ground drainage when they put up the new stand was obviously brilliant - because the ground is as good as ever.keeney said:Is it raining in Newie?
And what was our season tally of players used in 05? At this stage or the end. How did we get through that year without breaching our salary cap?

thanks for clearing that up - i forgot that whole second tier cap business - bloody complicated isn't it.~knights~ said:It's the 2nd-tier salary cap money.
The club has already spent close to the funding limit allocated to players outside the top 25 .
Clubs are permitted to spend $350,000 each season on players who are NOT officially recognised as members of the top 25 but appear in the NRL.
Each time a new 2nd-tier player is used in the nrl ,the value of his contract is added onand if it succeds the limit $350,000,his club attracts a breach notice and probable fine.
The Knights have already used 35 in 1st Grade beacuase of injuries and retirements.They have already dipped heavily into their premierleague squad and have little room for manoeuvre for the rest of the season.
Not too sure how the ticket sales are going, but if the rain keeps falling, I wouldn't be expecting a crowd any bigger than about 15,000colly raider said:Does anyone know how ticket sales are going?

We should be able to add someone to the top 25 for the rest of the year - Walshy for instance.

Not that it matters anymore :xJobdog said:You'll probably get a spot Jono, but then you'll have to wait like an hour before u get out ;-)
