Are allowed to say that?

More of a worry for Saints than us. Owning our own ground and the revenue that associated income streams brings us makes us very healthy.
Also, clubs that get to compete in the WCC pocket a very tidy sum.

I think that getting to the challenge cup final is very lucrative though. The gates are split after the RFL has taken its share. For saints, its got to be the equivalent of 4 or 5 home games for them, plus moeny made through coaches, merchandise, clinger on fans etc.

Oh it will be nice, no doubt.
But shouldn't be budget for.
I have it on very good authority that the WCC is the biggest money spinner of the season for us as we get a much bigger take of receipts than any other competition. Also, our expenses for playing the game are minimal and no revenue is taken by other clubs.
