because the NRLs have no other money raising ability
empty stadiums does not bring in money or sponsors


the AFL clubs do have other ability to raise funds, as it shows in their annual reports

what like your little raiders
he Canberra Raiders have quietly been building a commercial property empire worth tens of millions of dollars as the NRL club's cashed-up parent company looks to end its dependence on pokies.

A dismal season on the field for the NRL operation last year was matched by below-par financial performance, slumping to a loss of more than $220,000 on revenues of almost $12 million, including nearly $2 million in cash and in-kind benefits from the ACT government.

But the Raiders' parent group, The Canberra District Rugby League Football Club Ltd, enjoyed cash-flows last year of almost $50 million and healthy profits of $3.6 million.

The Raiders empire's clubs and cash flows.
The Raiders empire's clubs and cash flows.
The club's controlling entities have established a property fund, the Canberra Raiders Trust and an associated trading vehicle, CRTC Limited, which was registered in mid-2011 and is now fully funded.

The trust is now worth more than $33 million and has already made substantial investments in a portfolio of office and retail projects.

The Queanbeyan Leagues Club, the financial engine room of the group, diverted more than $15 million last year into the new property group and still retains a healthy balance sheet.

Follow the money through the empire.
Follow the money through the empire.
The Canberra Raiders have previously refused to publicly disclose details of their financial performance, but documents lodged with corporate regulator ASIC show the NRL club recorded a $226,000 loss in 2010-2011 despite netting almost $12 million from TV money, gate receipts, merchandising, sponsorship and match-day sales.

The club's income also includes $1.4 million in annual ''appearance fees'' from the ACT government, which also provides payroll tax concessions worth $500,000 each year. The fortunes of the football club will be improved by the two-year sponsorship deal with Chinese technology giant Huawei worth $1.7 million completed in March.

Despite the bottom-line loss posted by the NRL club in 2010-2011, its parent outfit is in rude financial health.

The Canberra Times understands that two large interstate office investments have been acquired and the jewel in the crown of the property empire is the purchase of a Bunnings Warehouse site in the Sydney suburb of Seven Hills.

The Raiders group is easily the region's biggest operator of poker machines with more than 830 pokies in seven clubs across the ACT and Queanbeyan.

The Mawson Club, which recorded gaming profits of nearly $3 million on gambling revenue of nearly $5.3 million, also contributed $200,000 to The Canberra Raiders Trust last year.

March marked 10 years since The Canberra District Rugby League Football Club Ltd took full control of the Raiders back from News Limited with the club hemorrhaging up to $200,000 a month.

But leagues club president John McIntyre told The Canberra Times that the days of struggle were over.

''[Melbourne Storm coach] Craig Bellamy said that the Raiders were a team under pressure, well I don't know where he got that from,'' Mr McIntyre said. ''If there is pressure, it's on the board and the management not to take its eye off the ball.''

Mr McIntyre said that he and his colleagues were pleased with their commercial real estate acquisitions, some of which were yielding annual returns of up to 8 per cent. But no property had been bought in the ACT.

''It has been all interstate but that's not to say that we haven't looked at opportunities here,'' he said.

Mr McIntyre said the diversification strategy was vital to ensure that the group could guarantee the future of the Raiders' NRL side and the financial security of the game's junior and senior leagues in the region.

''We need to diversify if we are going to guarantee the game of rugby league, and that's not just the Raiders,'' he said.

they ain't called "LEAGUE CLUBS" for nothing
empty stadiums & low sponsors doesn't pay many bills

[leeroy*NRL*]

I see Leagues Clubs As like an Investment.

The Leagues Club Give grants to the footy team..
Some teams like Canterbury getting Millions of dollars a year.

I think it is Great for the NRL to have the relation they have with the clubs.

Its something the AFL do not have.. and wish they did.

Have a think about how much of these Leagues Clubs are worth..
Canterbury Leagues, Parra Leagues, Panthers, St Marys, Souths Juniors. MASSIVE!
and clubs are only getting BIGGER
When Canterbury made the Grand Final 8,000 people watched at the Canterbury Club.
something that AFL does not get, and also affects the tv ratings.
and the more they profit the more the footy team gets..

I see this as A Plus and the Envy of other sporting codes.

[leeroy*NRL*]

AFL clubs have never indicated a desire for the leagues club setups in NSW. Collingwood, Hawthorn and Carlton would rather not be at the mercy of a leagues club that may decide it cant afford to give much by way of a grant - as I think Manly's leagues club has done recently. Primary revenue for ALL AFL clubs remains non pokie related - it accounts for about a third of some clubs revenues - the same cant be said of any NSW NRL club.

Thousands watch AFL finals at home stadiums when their team plays interstate. its not exactly uncommon.

I Still think It is a Great Asset to have and the backing they get from the Grant from the Club.
The Clubs Have changed from the past. (yes still a lot of money through Gambling..)
With better Restaurants Events, Functions, sports bars
Which also support the community and grassroots football.
Leagues Clubs Are worth 10's of Millions I could not even put on a price on Canterbury Leagues (the thing is HUGE)

Canterbury for example
Grant from NRL 7.55ml
Grant from Club 4 million.

Imagen if Hawthorn had its own FOOTBAL CLUB that was like a Mini version of Crown
What A Thing to have, the thing would be jammed pack each week, making a killing.

Ive been to Melbourne and it has nothing on NSW.

In Sydney there is a Pub a Club, A sports club, RSL, Leagues Club on every corner.
and in each one of them there a plenty all watching the footy.
which affects ratings by a fair margin.

Exactly
4 million from the Canterbury leagues club
& say 3 million of that came from pokies

That only represents 10% of the Bulldogs revenue
But fumblederpers like dumbo n wookie

Would have u believe its 90%

The ignorance is simply astounding

Hawthorn turned a 5 million dollar profit last year, including 19 million in pokie revenue so i think its doing ok. And while pokie venues in melbourne didnt arrive until almost 20 years after they kicked off in NSW, its a bit of a stretch to suggest the same culture of watching footy at the pub doesnt exist outside of fucking nsw.

Ok fair enough...

im not saying Victorians don't watch at the Pub..

Im saying in NSW there is a hell of a lot more venues. by a long shot.

Grant from NRL commission $7.55 million
Gran from League club grant $4 Million

Bulldogs total around $16. 5 million
wow around 5.5 million raised through, sponsorship, merch sales & ground returns
http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/leag ... 2swhv.html

wow around 5.5 million raised through, sponsorship, merch sales & ground returns

in comparison to my AFL team Essendon
total revenue 63 million (8.6 gaming revenue)
football related revenue 54.5 million
around 9 million from the AFL through distribution rights
membership revenue 10.3 million
sponsorship 16.84 million


pick the difference in earning difference

5.5 million compared to 54.5

with out the leagues clubs the NRL clubs would be smaller than than what they are already

melbourne doesn't have the enormous mini casino league clubs like what QLd & NSW has, but he still has hundreds of smaller pubs but no where near the size.
the leagues clubs are a joke, 2/3 pokes, an eating area, that offers the discount, rubber chicken paragarma, a large stage area for the jimmy barnes, the Eagles or Neil Diamond cover bands play, & a bar that sells just the mainstream beers & cheap wines, full of people, that still think having a mullet is still fashionable

at least in the Melbourne pubs you get some variety, & isn't 2/3 full of pokies so you dont have to your conversations interrupted by their endless noise.

ps the league clubs do not effect the ratings. plain and simple.
the are around 4800k rating boxes in Australia that represents 23 million people thats what the ratings are based on

That Info was from 2012 for Canterbury.

The Bulldogs football team posted revenue of about $16.5 million in 2012 from their footballing operations. This will fluctuate with performance but it is almost enough to support the club without external assistance. In addition, the football club is supported by an incredibly successful leagues club operation that has no debt, more than $100 million of assets and is cash-flow positive

DID YOU SEE THAT 100 Million in ASSETS>..
AND its only going to get Bigger..

Ohh Whats This
100M RENOVATION FOR CANTERBURY LEAGUES>
MAKING IT EVEN WORTH MORE $$

You Wish Essendon had A Leagues Club Worth 100 Million and the rest $$$

Look AT THIS PEACE OF REAL ESTATE!!

Hold on poke boy .
You have stated previously ( when trying to explain huge RL ratings in your imbecilic way) that 1 ratings box = Hundreds of thousands of viewers ,which on your bizarro world means that the population of AUST is around 1 billion .

Now you post something different .

Make up your mind or keep track of your lies .


& when posting an article ,is it at all possible for you to post anything current .
You dig up yrs Old articles that have fuck all to do with the current situation .

Last week you posted some article from yrs ago about ch 9 s then financial problem & tried to tie it to the upcoming RL rights ..

You really have NFI about anything .

im willing to take up a 90% bet

went to canterbury leagues for lunch yesterday,

pokie rooms packed to the rafters with pensioners spending our tax funded welfare on the pokies. disgusting really - these old farts already threw away any savings or super they had and now just eat up our taxes on this shit
