It was never the breakeven figure, but I think it was mentioned that it was a budgeted figure. To breakeven we'd probably need around 50k attendances at the moment!
It still means which should be generating more income that we budgeted for though.

I have heard the 18000 figure being quoted as a break even figure and it was around 13000 at Ninian Park.

If thats the case (and I expect it is) did we, unbelievably, budget for investment from an outside source this year?

the budgeted figure is 18000 Kevin and we are losing money because of the massive wages we are paying out to players and staff :evil:

The answer is in the detail. Such figures/ attendances have never been quoted as "breaking even" merely "budgeted" for. A world of difference.
