rumour is the storm wont survive this...
what are your thoughts??
how amazing (and i spose bad) would it be if they folded...
I dont think it has much to do with if supporters get to the games... the supporters wont bring in enough to save them...
This weeks game will be very interesting... i still tipped em. not sure why though.
Supporters and sponsorship is kind of irrelevant because it will probably total only a small fraction of their operating expenses. They lost 6 million last year off the back of making 3 grand finals, winning minor premierships AND winning last year's grand final.
If they lost 6 million, it makes you wonder how much News Ltd is putting into them. The equation is pretty simple, if News ltd continues to back them, they'll survive, if they don't, they won't.
I tipped the Kiwis just because they have a pretty good record against Melbourne in recent times. Could really go either way though, and with the playing roster and coach they have, Melbourne should really still be competitive for the rest of the year.
