Do Ealing have any income, or is it just a wealthy benefactor? kinda fearing another potential collapse in the making here.

Trailfinders owner is their backer.
Multi millionaire.

I'm not over the details.

My recollection (from the details I get as a club member yearly) is that Ealing Trailfinders get their funding in such a way from their main benefactor (Sir Mike Gooley) that they aren't accruing debt. I believe total debt was c.£100k last time I checked. I'd note that Vallis Way generates a very nice income, constantly being used for training, and used frequently for events. One example being the NFL renting it for an American Football event recently. Unfortunately, they did lose a very nice income when London Broncos moved out. Back in their last year of Superleague, Ealing actually made a tiny profit. I know that there are some other folks who know the details better. My understanding is that provisions have been made for the club in the medium term when the inevitable happens.

Which would make you wonder why this has been posted in last season's Signings thread. No?
