Wasn't sure which thread to go in. How much central funding do we get for 3rd place in championship? Something like £150k? Slightly more?
The Salford discussion is rumbling on and naturally Bradford has been mentioned...both for historical issues and current ones.

It's just I'm trying to get a handle on the finances at the moment.

So most recent accounts (we were a subtenant) have us at Championship level sponsorship + ticketing + corporate + merchandise + central funding of about £150k = A part-time first team spend of £5-600k? + an academy + other costs and we make a tiny profit.

So, we don't know the impact of taking on the lease on the equation above. But overall negative, unless other income streams are available!

If we were offered a Super league place in the future - the main changes would be central funding of £150k would become £1.5m? Is that what SL clubs get? We could probably boost the first team spent to £1.5m with that, with some left over for additional costs.

Have we actually succeeded in cutting our cloth and becoming lean, with no excessive expenditure?

We have 800k of liabilities but provided that's not all owed to anyone that wants paying immediately it's no cause for alarm.

Central funding is now dished out on IMG gradings.

So Barrow who avoided relegation by the skin of their teeth will get a more than Widnes who slugged it out on the play-offs.
