Tony Le Mesmer Whats all this come on Burnley stuff?
Burnley spawned it and had everything go their way in the play offs. They even had the luxury of Bristol City not turning up on the last day which meant they got to play us.
Burnley is a truly unwelcoming, bitter town with horrible fans.
Where as Sheff Utd have a nice ground always a good atmosphere there. Oh well each to their own.

Thaumagurist* I don't like Burnley and I hope they come straight back down. Thinking about it, I think that's extremely likely. Consider this:
1. Last time Reading were 4th and in the play-offs, Wolves went on to play Sheffield United in the final.
2. Wolves won that game.
3. And came back down the following season.

That's because they were shit and were hammered all the time. I think that will be what Burnley will be like as well.

Bit of a non-sequitur, imo.
1) They did have the great start
2) Their later form may have been a pretty direct result of having just about enough to stay up so early in the season (Premature Second Season Syndrome, if you will)

Royal RotherVictor Meldrew As for RRs original post I still think there is something not quite right in our accounts for the two Premiership seasons and if we haven't made a significant profit this season with players on reduced wages,£11 million of parachute payments,some TV money,decent home gates and extra fixtures as well as income of around £10 million plus from transfers and ongoing receipts from London Irish and club shop sales there is something seriously wrong with the financial management of our club.
Something not quite right? What could be wrong with the accounts? It's all there in black and white and the numbers all made perfect sense.
As for the season just ended, I would like to think that we at least broke even but whether or not that is the case I am happy that the financial management of our club is second to none in the entire Football League.

Hmm..black and white eh?
You know and I know that accounts despite being certified do not always tell the whole story and I admire your blind faith that RFC is second to none for financial management.
So going back to your original post you feel that clubs shouldn't even bother to get to the Premiership because there is no money to be made?
Not sure that the chairmen and/or owners of the football league clubs would agree.

No need. He'd already blamed the ref for them losing last week.
