"Pride of the League" = "horrible investment"

[ParraEelsNRL]

Not the pride of any League comp I follow.

Been shit for 30 years of the 35 I have watched.

If that's pride, they can stick that where the sun don't shine.

ah..... no dickbrain

I said they'd ALL be profitable .... in 2013
seriously

Wait, you think all 16 nRL clubs will be profitable in 2013? You think West Tigers, Penrith, Gold Coast, manly and the Roostes will be profitable in 2013?

yep
with an extra 3 Million straight into the bottom line of every club direct from our new TV money ... & most of those clubs above only falling a few hundred K short of the black

well
you do the math c head

[Stewie]

So you don't think these clubs will invest anything into their football department with the extra cash? And what about the increased salary cap that they will have to cover? You're horribly delusional if you think all nRL clubs will post a profit. It's absurd to even think half the clubs of that amateur competition will even make a profit.

Bloodyhell, the ARLC has already outlined what money is going to the clubs you boofhead, they all will have extra money above the cap.

Do you think every nRL club will make a profit in 2013?

[ParraEelsNRL]

Really, I couldn't give a stuff who makes money and who doesn't as long as it's controlled properly, if my club was losing as much as Porked Barrelled does, I'd be very worried. But my team even at their lowest don't lose money like that, nothing near it actually, so, I don't care.

If your team had a stadium deal like us then you would have been extinct a decade ago. A 28,000 breakeven is not viable. The AFL knows this, Port Adelaide knows this, but the fucksticks at the $NAFL insist it's best for football.

Go figure.

[ParraEelsNRL]

Burn it down.

[ParraEelsNRL]

Worked for us.

We're due for an upgrade at Parra again soon too

[Stewie]

Why? We are moving to Adelaide Oval next year anyway.

[ParraEelsNRL]

Any insurance?

I heard your mob need a penny or 6.4M

Don't be an idiot like Raiderdave, you're better than that. You know the loss was not that much. The moronic journo decided to take away AFL eqalisation funding which every club bar 3 get.

The PAFC will be millions of $ better off at AO in 2014.

Hey look you aren't going to get an argument with me about private ownership!

But that doesn't stop government from lending a hand with the venues! We're not dying! We're just having some issues, and they can be overcome.

I hate to distract you people from pissing contests. But Striker, you seem to expect the government to once again come out and pump money into facilities that nobody fills.
Where else in Australia do clubs own their own facilities?
The facilities are there - use them. The SFS is brilliant for watching rectangular code games.
No excuses.

this coming from a fan of a club that lost more dough in one year then ten NRL clubs would in 2 ....
