If you want cheaper use the £2pm membership to get 15% off so you pay £14. That's as low as you'll get.'"
Exactly.
There's little skin of AK's nose if fans turn up or not. He's got the rent, he's got some ticketing cash, he's got a few bob over the bar and in the food outlets, he'll flog a few shirts and he's got the RFL's marketing budget. This is all cash he wouldn't have had if we were somewhere else. He's rented us FULL TIME a venue that was occasionally used for parties and corporate events, he get's to open his venue 13 more times and will assuredly make money on match days AND HE'S BEING PAID BY THE RFL TO DO IT!
.....it really is the most astute piece of business he will have done in quite a few years. Fuck me, if the RFL had offered me to take the club on for all the benefits and none of the costs AS WELL AS paying me, I'd have been home like a shot!
