Hmm, the financial side of things is not looking good for the Titans. Could they be the 3rd failed attempt at establishing a Rugby League club on the Gold Coast. The following looks dire.

QRL calls for Titans financial inquiry

QRL supremo Ross Livermore has called for the NRL to launch a full inquiry into the Titans’ finances following fresh revelations the club owes three entities more than $25,000 in unpaid debts.

Livermore’s plea came as a leading Queensland-based jersey manufacturer, Triple Play, warned the Titans faced another lawsuit if it did not pay money the company has been chasing for five months.

As the Titans continue a legal dispute with former builder Simcorp over their troubled $22 million Centre of Excellence project, The Sunday Telegraph can reveal:

* The Queensland Rugby League claims it is owed $18,000 in unpaid development fees by the Titans, whom Livermore says are the only NRL club yet to pay up;

* Triple Play is owed $5775 for guernseys provided in January to the Titans’ under-16s and under-18s squads;

* Another company, Total Hire, says it will never deal with the Titans again after alleging it was forced to write off $1500 in bad debts when the Gold Coast failed to pay for equipment hire at the club’s Centre of Excellence site; and

* The Titans are attempting to resolve a dispute with the Queensland Government, which began legal proceedings last month seeking $226,278 in unpaid payroll tax.

The series of outstanding monies raises further queries over the fiscal health of the Titans, who have twice sought advances on their NRL club grant totalling $2.3 million.

What was that Raiderdave that you said about NRL handouts not existing? Hmm, lying again.

advances on their grant ( the pot of profits that goes to all clubs same or similar to profits shared **** all AFL clubs )

not hand outs on top of this
like almost all bumbling AFL clubs receive

Melbourne Storm also get an annual handout from the NRL/News Ltd in the tens of millions to put a team out on the field.
Getting back on topic though, the Gold Coast Titans financial woes must be a real worry for the NRL now that the AFL's Suns are in town with almost double their membership and much bigger crowds.

they get nothing more then the grant from the NRL .. like all clubs

News Ltd own them
& as a privately owned team their owners can spend what eva they want on them

In 30 years time the NRL will be dead because they failed to raise their salary cap and failed to stop the bleeding of players to the AFL.

At no time anywhere has an SBS re-run outrated an AFL game.

Back on the topic of the Suns vs the Titans.

Both clubs played today at home with both teams struggling and both taking on smaller interstate teams at home.

Gold Coast Suns vs Western Bulldogs - 16,149

Gold Coast Titans vs Cronulla Sharks - 12,997

Way to go Suns.

Hang on, don't News Ltd own 50% of the NRL too?
Handouts to the Melbourne Storm therefore come from the NRL pot of money too yeah? Imagine the Storm without News Ltd and the NRL pumping millions of dollars in annually. They would be on the Central Coast tomorrow if that was the case.

Oh btw, how are Penrith going financially. Better than the Titans and Storm one would hope.
