Consultation in the UK is a euphamism for a foregone conclusion btw. This must be Dodson’s last act before he goes. It’s also in the press release that pints and food are about to go up again too, in more words. And given a 3million black hole last year - it looks necessary.
The SRU are investing heavily in both pro teams, and it’s paid off at one end of the M8. This should result in more season tickets for Glasgow next year, and there is a fourth home game in the november series. And the Super6 is gone, so another cost reduced. And surely a big boost with Taylor Swift at Murrayfield too. Personally I’d have stuck with a hiring freeze for a couple of years, and been a bit ruthless with some performance reviews rather than redundancies. That isn’t a good look ever, and smacks of incompetence with hiring and strategy
Heh, that’s typically how “consultation” works in NZ too. Every now and then a company or org doesn’t make enough of a pretense and get caught out on it, but mostly its just what do you think of this proposal and ignore all feedback to do it anyway.
It’s actually 10m they were short last year. And Glasgow winning the URC will bring season tickets, but playing away means no immediate coffers. Hard to see anyone sponsoring the stadium/team/series considering our summer tour, which no offence to Canada, but it is budget, late night, and not exactly indicative of premium advertising
