Rfl Reveals Record Turnover For 2011
The Rugby Football League has reported a record turnover of over £27 million for 2011, figures that allowed the governing body to post a pre-tax profit for the 10th consecutive year.
The RFL’s annual meeting detailed that the turnover of £27.04 million increased by 18.5% over 2010’s figures.
The profit has enabled the organisation to increase hand-outs to clubs and other member organisations to a record £9.18 million.
RFL chief executive Nigel Wood, told Press Association Sport: ‘The RFL’s record turnover in 2011 is a commendable achievement which has allowed us to provide unparalleled levels of assistance to clubs at a time when every area of the game is facing financial pressure.’
‘Whilst the governing body remains committed to building on its track record of delivering growth across the whole game, we are under no illusions as to how tough it is out there. The flat economic outlook means that 2011 turnover levels could represent something of a high water mark for the RFL but we will continue to strive to build on our achievements of the last 11 years.’
