None of which changes the fact with the left over money after paying off years of accrued debt the remaining money has been spent buying a golf club mainly for its pokies and spending money on doing up your LC to get more saps in To feed the machines.
the money could have been spent sorting out your atrocious (according to your own clubs fans) membership Dept, improving stadium facilities to attract more fans to games, marketing and community engagement to grow your fan and corporate base.
But no you’ve fell straight back into pokies. pokies, pokies.
maybe it will work this time, time will tell.
Ps 2020 you just broke even and ‘21, despite a grant to cover LC closure and stadium capacity capping, you once again lost money. Still waiting for that previous statement about sharks becoming one of the wealthiest clubs in the nrl to show some signs of happening.
don’t shoot the messenger, heres the most recent facts, as stark as they are
’21
gate receipts $790k
memberships $787k
merch sales $860k
sponsorship and corporate box sales $4mill
total football club revenue $6.4million (eeek) many clubs are generating much more than that in sponsorship alone.
