Wrong as usual on both counts as we have reduced our debt from £2.4m in 2004 to £1.4m in 2008 and this latest result should help.



Saints debt is £6.5m and you have accumulated losses of £5.2m. Good job you own your own ground, which is valued at £8.1m. Also interesting that the notes to the accounts discuss confirmation of directors' continuing support and that's the reason the accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis.

All well and good for your off-field operations, pats on the back etc.



2 points, however:-



1. Would you have traded a slight loss for better on the field results?



2. Could you cope with another mediocre season, possibility of fans drifting away etc., as long as it meant making another yearly profit?



Of course, there is a possibility that recruitment for next year might improve results on a short term basis, but if that turns out not to be the case, do the fans feel the structures are in place to ensure the club remains in such a healthy state financially? Or is that too difficult a question in these times?

Point 1 is irrelevant as whats happened as happened.



Point 2 I'd rather do both, and I suspect if we do well (Cup Run, Playoffs etc) I dont see any reason why another year of profit shouldnt be recorded.

The irony, can City cope with another season of being poor on and off the field?

Hmmm, obviously a waste of time trying to ask serious questions. I'll try not to do it again.

I was going to throw in how much they've paid Bullard per minute of game time, but I thought, after a massive result against Blackburn, they might be too excited already.



I am, by no means, anti City, but I am sick of the ramblings of SD and his ilk, too thick to see beyond the end of their nose.

Ramblings? You thick t**t, i asked perfectly rational and reasonable questions.



If it's not City's finances you lot get damp about, it's Rovers.



DKWIFB

You could try doing it for a first time?



Can City cope with another season of under-performing whilt paying Bullard to play pool in the pub?



In answer to your questions:



1) No, we would have maybe made one playoff game, and lost money in the process, no point in that.



2) Yes, season passes are on target to exceed last years, we have recruited well and brought some talent in (finally) on the coaching side, with the combined effect of Long,Fitz and Moore we look a lot more professional, we are about to build our training facility.



Now, if you want to objectively discuss Hull FC then please do so, if you want to bang the drum about your misconceptions then please, don't bother.

so (SD) as your avatar indicates.......V's

With a team challenging at the top of the table we could easily average 15k meaning significantly higher profit as it would cost us no more than we are spending anyway

Really, I thought you had at least one sensible answer before that unfounded whinge.

Oddly enough, most of the replies after it say broadly what was said before it aswell. Odd Huh.
