	I like how some Ealing supporters get upset with a Blues supporter taking interest in the biggest and best rugby organisation around and highlighting how much Mike Gooley contributes on an annual basis into rugby. I think it is interesting for all Championship supporters seeing what their club is up against when facing Ealing. A lot of money and resources, bordering on Premiership level, so if your team gets close to, let alone winning on the pitch your team has done incredibly well. As I said Coventry’s turnover is around £2.5m in 2023 (probably higher with bigger crowds) and Bedford Blues is similar I believe. Doncaster Knights have a turnover of £3.8m (2023) of which £2m comes from S Lloyd (mostly) and D Mulder. The way Knights are setup you get to see a lot of detail. The Stadium is owned by The Mike Gooley Trailfinders Charity, so it is unlikely to have the stadium costs in there.
