The SMH reports that on the back of a shocking season with dwindling crowds and expensive medical bills the Brumbies are going to post a loss for the financial year.

“We’re still hoping to break even, but the likelihood is we’ll be presenting a small loss,” Fagan told ABC radio on Thursday.

“Our crowds are down.

“We’ve also had a couple of hundred thousand dollars-plus in injury expenses, given our massive injury toll, and the upgrade to contracts that leads to.”

When the team start putting in the big ones the crowds may return, although June is no time to be sitting in the dark at Bruce.

These guys need a second income stream (other than football revenue) that doesn’t involve soft loans or concessional land grants from the ACT Gov’t.

“Brumbies to post a loss”

It’s almost the end of their worst season and this is still news!

And still fagan hasn’t the integrity to go down with the ship. shame but entirely expected of someone clearly out of their depth.

Punt Fagan and watch the game improve and the crowds return. If you needed to point the finger at the one person who has contributed most to the current state of disrepair at the brums, you need look no further.

Agreed +1
