Other teams do get paid to play at certain stadiums... but we get paid to play at EAS... Sponsorship $$ is a good start... ;-)Advertising boards all around the ground.... Other teams don't get that. Food and Bev sales? Ticket sales...

Oh great, that must be working well considering our financial situation!

What if the Knights and the Jets banded together and said they won't play anymore games at EA until the rent was halved or something would that work?


But who in their right mind signs off on a contract but then decides after the fact ' no wait its too much '? :lol:

You know what irritates me the most about Karmas posts?

His use of the smileys....

"Knights are broke" :)

"Knights are run by puppets" :)

"Knights loose" :)

"Knights have no jrs" :)

Knights have no halves" :)

Even in this thres "Knights have no money or cany pay or whatever" I have hit my image limit! But if I could, you bet it would be another smiley.

For a bloke who supports the club, he always seems delighted about anything bad.

Doesn't like the team.

Doesn't rate the players.

Doesn't like the coach.

Doesn't rate our NYC players.

Doesn't like the NYC coach.

Doesn't like the board.

Doesn't like the management.

Doesn't like the fans.

I'm sure someone like the Roosters could use an extra fan?

Out of curiosity, and the overdue rent for 2008, is anyone aware of WHEN the Knights paid the 2006,2005,2004 rents etc.

Maybe the fact that THEN, it (the stadium rent) was paid to the Sports centre trust (NSW GOVT) and NOW it is being paid to Hunter Venues,(NSW GOVT) WHY are HUNTER VENUES suddenly becoming arseholes in this matter. Have the Knights NEVER paid. ???????

Hunter venues have admitted that THEY want COMPLETE control of the sporting complex, therefore the ONLY way that they can have this control is to force the Knights out of EAS because they havent paid this (overdue) rent.

Its not the fact that newcastle wont pay.........its the fact that The NSW govt made one big stuff up originally by GIVING the Knights COMPLETE management of EAS and now are suddenly being made aware of this fact.

What's that quote.. something like

It's ok to wear your heart on your sleeve as long as you don't wear your d!ck on your head.

There's a difference between being a realist and like Pika says seemingly taking joy in everything you don't like about the club.

The laughs and smiley's are not taking joy in the situation of the club, instead laughing at the unbelievable blinkered stubborn people in here who simply just don't get it!

That's what is laughable.

Yeah Pika, its just so fantastically funny and fun that the tens of thousands of dollars me and my immediate family have put towards this club for the last 15 odd years sees the Knights in this situation!

Yeah, I just LOVE the fact that this money has been put to such amazing use!

Give me a break mate.

If you think its JOYFUL for me to see a club go down the gurgler after the money spent on SUPPORTING this club, then you simply have been in one wrestle too many ...

Steve Burraston, where are you anyway? Just going to sit there and respond with a few transparent lines of retort? Or step forward and fix this up?

He just doesn't get it. Sure his claims for compensation might exceed the bill they owe, but it doesn't exceed the obligation to pay overdue bills from a previous financial year :lol:

But who in their right mind signs off on a contract but then decides after the fact ' no wait its too much '? :lol:

Sure looks like you're laughing at them to me...

Maybe you dont get it either Karma, but the Nsw govt made one big stuff up by giving Newcastle complete control of the stadium and now they have suddenly realised it and want Newcastle out (one way or another) :crazy:

If you're the one spending money on a club that you obviously have many issues with in all aspects, then you're just as dumb and geniused as the management running said club.

The performances of management which led to this is what's laughable FRED, not the SITUATION itself.

Let me EMPHASISE ONE MORE TIME...

Sorry mate, however you intend it to come across, it looks like you are laughing at the Knights misfortune.

Seriously, if you replaced every :) with a :( it would look like what you claim.

I've put in the occasional fricken laugh face.

How is that now an issue bigger than the topic of this conversation itself I'll never know...

The performances of management IS the situation which you find so hysterically funny.

It's simple - if you don't like how the club's run, and their financial decisions and situations, don't spend any money on them. The club's been run like the right from the start - you think you'd have been smart enough to have figured it out long ago, thus saving you and your family the millions of billions of dollars you've spent.

Well if you love the club so much..............and you continually knock whatever they do............why dont you put your money where your mouth is and STAND FOR THE BOARD at the next elections (or do you just want to sit here and light fires):crazy:

This is deadset typical, that the issue of an outspoken individual becomes a greater farce than the reality of the situation itself.

Yeah Fred, you're so brilliantly smart, thats just what the Knights need right now isn't it when $3M in debt? Fans who spend money to help them ( but are outspoken ) to desert them...

Yeah mate, thats real good.
