OK, so if I bite the bullet and fork out my buck, do I get a 6 million dollar dividend cheque each year, as has been the case with the previous owners?

Absolutely! As an occasional contributor and constant observer of the site I am gob smacked with intelligence fervor commitment and good humor of twf bloggers to support our players coach and staff under extreme circumstances
and this communal support has been integral to the survival of the cause to date
well done everyone
I just feel we are the only ones really angry .eastern states community support for the force is really good but anger at ERU is muted and probably won't be sustained if we lose the case
The real roots and branch change has to be at the ERU structure ,to get rid of the suits ties and bankers and democratise the whole process - not sure how we will energize that
Too big a job? I suppose we just have to fight our fight really well
Bit of a rant I know
Anyway hats off and maintain the rage!
That's interesting research Alison. Ties in very well with the big question as to why the VRU has received so much more money that RugbyWA over the corresponding period - except from what I could see in your report that there extra money was by grants and not as one
or more loans.. hmm..curious..
So not only have the Rebels been sending the ARU broke, but the VRU hasn't been running too well either. Are there any notes that indicate why they were in such a hole?
Alison, it would be wonderful if you put your analysis and questions on the VRU's past and future finances on GAGR and also ROAR.
The ROAR could not knock you back this time, because you can make your references and links, which are free available to everybody.
Good idea JSJ. I'll knock something up today and ask RugbyReg if they will consider posting it on GnGR. It'll be completely rubbished by that 'Train Without A Station' guy and his alter ego on Twitter @RugbyInsider but I think I can cope with that!
I'm not keen on the attitude of the Roar editor so will give them a miss. In any case, they wouldn't publish it if it had already appeared on GnGR.
Don't get into a "discussion" with TWAT, s/he will suck your oxygen. Guy is obviously a paid ARU shill, nobody not even the underemployed has time or inclination for that volume of drivel. And drivel it is, either stating the bleeding obvious, asking similarly obvious rhetorical questions, or being purposely inflammatory or obfuscation all couched as "serious insightful and thoughtful" while denigrating everyone else
looking at all lous great observations on the state of the Victorian Rugby, it's hilarious the lengths that shill TWAT has gone to on the roar trying to posit that Patsy Clone has no vested interest in VRU or Rebels continuance. Pretending he has no relationships with that slimy grubby Clarke, Gray, Cox etc.
Such desperate Lengths it convinced me there's something lurking in the woodshed at cold comfort farm
While I can understand some of TWAS's posts as being of the "reality check" nature, regardless of the antagonistic nature they may be perceived in, some of his posts are downright befuddling in their obstructionist nature. While a reality check is fair enough now and then, he's crosses over into pooh-poohing things for the sake of it, coming off with a "can't win, don't try" attitude too many times.

The best lies have an element of truth. The more you defend the indefensible.....
