Hughes has backed & funded London Broncos for the last 20 years but will ealk awsy at this season's end. He is appealing for a new backer. If they do not get one may struggle with theur gates. However I am not sure what parachute payment they will get
Does anyone know?
Reading the NewsNow item the income from Sky has halved with several clubs now losing money. The marketability of the game is slipping with IMG struggling to find evidence that the game is expanding.
The explosion of off field as well as on field staff that came with SL will have to be set back a bit at least, with even the SL clubs lacking a sugar daddy possibly going under. Not this year maybe but savings will have to be made.
This, I suggest, makes our club's efforts look much more realistic and sensible.
Maybe SL will have to look at revising its make up as a part time sport to some degree concentrating on self financing through support.
