Look guys i know Sharkies are doing it tough at the moment
but im playing for a under strength U18s team
we lost our first game 90-6 and our second 86-0
Worse comes to worse we could relocate and sell our current land to have a nice kitty. The place we relocate to we could just rent the stadium and get help from the local government like most other clubs do. So in effect we have that lifeline. Let's say we moved to the Sunshine Coast for example and the Sunshine Coast council built a big stadium for us sort of like how the Titans have skilled park, we could move there and sell our current land including the leagues club and be a quite well off club.

Interesting discussion considering we are in a much better position then we were last year and are a few years off being one of the more rich clubs in NSW...
There are worries on the field for sure and the worry is then if we will be able to attract quality players to what appears to be a black hole for footballers careers.
But asking if the nrl will allow us to fold shows you dont understand the situation as they cant make us leave and with the redevelopment, more members and a new major sponsor we are in no immediate danger whatsoever.
Ouch. I am actualy quite aware of the sharks financial situation. I also have connections within the club regarding people with knowledge of the sharks finances and finance in general. My comments were merely to spark discussion, and I think this thread has been quite interesting so far.
The development has many hurdles to overcome, hyperthetically if it was to fail then we would not be in as good financial situation in the coming years as you are suggesting.
I am sorry if I caused offence, you said the title of the thread was to aggrovate people and in my case I believe you accomplished that. I guess I just feel every time we are losing everyone comes out with the knives. We arent performing on the field but we have at least sorted out the finances in the short-term with a plan to sort it long-term which is a great difference from last years dire situation. We are not in the clear by any means but we are finally back on track so creating a thread entitled "lets fold" is obviously going to get a bad reaction from some people who honestly thought mid-way through last year that they wouldnt have a team to support 24 months later.
