Lol, knew we could rely on you gutters! Those twickers rose tints are working a treat I see. Only you could suggest a 6mill+ loss in a year is not a bad thing.

They expect to lose money in a RWC year. The shortfall is because they didnt have the autumn internationals at Twickenham 12 months ago.

Never said it wasn't a bad thing.......I said they could swallow it quite comfortably, which they can. I repeat, 82k x 4 x 40 notes minimum = 13 million pounds and change......but it's idiot RL fans who decry anyone who watches both codes and try to poke fun at the bigger one and fail to see/understand/admit the reality.....which would you rather....a sub 8k gate with tickets for 12 notes generating less than 100k or 13 million pounds for 4 friendlies?

The RFU could buy the RFL with change they find down tha back of their reception sofa....I get no pleasure stating this FACT, but it is a FACT all the same.
