Wasn't sure which thread to go in. How much central funding do we get for 3rd place in championship? Something like £150k? Slightly more?The Salford discussion is rumbling on and naturally Bradford has been mentioned...both for historical issues and current ones.
It's just I'm trying to get a handle on the finances at the moment.
So most recent accounts (we were a subtenant) have us at Championship level sponsorship + ticketing + corporate + merchandise + central funding of about £150k = A part-time first team spend of £5-600k? + an academy + other costs and we make a tiny profit.
So, we don't know the impact of taking on the lease on the equation above. But overall negative, unless other income streams are available!
If we were offered a Super league place in the future - the main changes would be central funding of £150k would become £1.5m? Is that what SL clubs get? We could probably boost the first team spent to £1.5m with that, with some left over for additional costs.
Have we actually succeeded in cutting our cloth and becoming lean, with no excessive expenditure?
