Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “2024 proved to be another financially challenging year despite an increase in turnover to £6.5 million (2023: £6.3 million) as revenues are still way below pre-pandemic levels of £7.4 million.”
• “The effects of the Covid 19 pandemic and the unprecedented financial challenges are still being felt...the DCMS business survival loan is now being paid back.”
• “The reduced revenue from the central distribution and broadcast rights declined in 2024 by a further £235k and will decline further in 2025 due to a reduced broadcast deal for the next 2 years which is extremely disappointing.”
• “Increased wage and energy costs, along with significant inflationary increases on cost of goods purchased.”
• “The performance of the team in the 2024 season was a considerable improvement on 2023 with the club having reached the Challenge Cup Final and also finishing in the top three in the Super League Table. Sam Burgess remains as head coach for the 2024/2025 season.”
• “The stadium is ageing and will continue to be updated and improved to ensure an attractive and modern venue for our customers that will generate additional revenue.”
• “The club continues to require additional funds for the foreseeable future which will be provided by the majority shareholder and Directors.”
• “LN James (Deceased 3 June 2025)”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
