No club can afford to fund a club in either of the second tier comps without funding from pokies, an nrl club or govt. Sadly the second division comps do not generate any revenue so the $2mill a year or so it costs to run a club has to come from elsewhere, theres no viability at all in second tier comp clubs.
running and funding are two very different things, doh!
WA Gov cannot get around to building a 21st century rectanglular stadium.
Too busy building a 22nd century $1.8billion oval one lol
Ours is funding the soccer team.
Looking after sports that play here.
I told you WA is a rusted on fumbleball state that hates rugby league.
Take your meds. One minute you're going on about how big the game is in Perth. Next minute you're saying it's not even played there!
$7mill. WA Govt has also 'sponsored' Western Force in past with $1.5mill funding.
Hard to hate something that continues to make itself largely irrelevant.
Like the English rugby league team?
did you miss the crowds watching England at last rlwc? Numbers the Kangaroos could only dream of. It was better they stayed home and got humiliated by the Kiwis lol.
Eh? Govt has said thats what they are giving them. Also spent $17mill on Western Force HQ and $50..8mill on soccer HQ. We also have a womens sports grants scheme to help womens teams play in a national comps (socccer got $320k least year plus $2.4mill for facilities and grassroots funds, $9.3mill all up last year) Money ARLC could be tapping into if it got off its arse and did its job. WA govt backs its clubs.
which is even more embarrassing for Australia, imagine the crowds if England could actually win something!
WA Gov didn't back the Reds when they went bust.
