Take the Penn's out of the club and we will have every home game at Brookie or Rat park (more likely) Big games against Bears, Jets, Wenthworthville (distant NRL teams I think) even Ryde Eastwood! Big crowds of 300-500 so top chance of great seat, no line ups for beer, plenty of parking, meet the players and chat with them. :dodgy:
1. Leagues club: no grant this year: Let's hope the pokies tax goes in to stuff the Dogs (rich pokie club)
2 Brookie: (hear we go again) Want us to stay and pay big rent and small corporates) No guaranteed game day payout like Homebush
3. Lack of big sponsors: Last year we couldn't even get a major sponsor for half the season.
4. Crap tv deal: enough said
5. The likes of players on 400 grand and small income strains.
The penns are not the only ones that put money in the club.
1 L/C is putting in over $150,000 this year. ( note that it is down on other years)
2 Agree
3 We have now good sponsors and a good Cheif to run the place. We also have a new marketing team in place who are doing good things.
4 Agree
5 Players income agree, income getting better for the club day by day .
At the end of the day the club is looking a lot better with the changes that were made last year in managment . just wait and see.
