Don't forget that running a stadium does incur a cost in cleaning, repair, management, up dating etc etc, 

As tenants I assumed that repairs and updating was the responsibility of the landlord.

WVIPS announced to be handing over 22k to the club. Should be enough for a decent couple of players on a year deal to provide some competition.

 

i say that I don’t know how much PT players earn but don’t imagine it’s that much!

I am sure someone on this board will be savy or know what money part time players are offered. It can not be that much depending on the quality of the player. Is taking loan and dual is probably the cheaper option, but i would like another fullback, centre and a big prop. JJ is out for a while and FOZ does need interchanging and not sure why Doolan is not used more? I think Lyons can play hooker?

@scouseviking55 your guess is as good as mine but I think we are probably going to be pa current invoices owed and maybe one player in if possible but 🤞bring in a couple more

@mckviking from my understanding the VIPs money should purely be for player retention/recruitment not for paying bills same as the old scheme used to be

Yes great the vips

also if you think of the players we have lost - off our payroll, there should be a fair chunk of cash there to get new players

The Doncaster full game is on YouTube so obviously the ability to stream games is available, why not monetize it

@mckviking people probably would kick off paying a fiver and hearing a robot from the referees mic for the whole first half based on the Doncaster video!

 

if they could do it like York did with the radio commentary side by side it could work. The club obviously want to push for people to actually attend though which I understand.

 

maybe they should offer it internationally first see what the take up is like 🤣

Maybe worth keeping a running total of away support vising the DCBL Stadium compared with our travelling support.

Maybe useful in the argument for upgrading whenever we get there!!!

@scouseviking55 I totally understand that it would affect attendances but how many did widnes take to Doncaster? How many wouldn’t go if it was £20 to stream it? Stream it internationally: USA/Canada and Australia/New Zealand
