Hard to say. The blowhards are still asking them.

Mens team loss forecast i think it was 0.4 million (may have
been 0.6)? This is down from 2.7 million 2 years ago
Revenue almost 29 million up from 24 million 2 years ago

Did he say before the club makes any decisions, I would be
consulted to check my "are they crap" database?

Yeah - it was 0.6 million.
And, they lose 0.5 million from people not using the ticket
resale.
The loss is based on us not getting any more home knockout
features.
Targeting sales of 60k for BSKO. (i.e. bottom 2 tiers full).
This looks on track. Sales are going faster than previous games.
I think they said that headline music act to be announced next
week. They seem to be pretty confident that the fans would
approve.
One question was about the salary cap - Would we be spending up
to the cap? The answer was "Yes".
Some of the first questions asked (mentioned above as
embarrassing) were just not well phrased.
I think the underlying gripe with the first 2 questions is that
season tickets cost too much and should be cheaper. (One
question compared to football and said that football was
cheaper.) But, they were not really questions. More just a rant.
(Frankly, I couldn't care how much it costs to go and watch Man
City v West Ham. I am really not interested in the football. So
for me, the comparison is meaningless.)
But, as we are not actually making a profit, it would seem silly
for Quins to reduce the season ticket prices and then just make
a bigger loss.
I think that one question could have been asked differently -
something like this "As there are now only 10 teams in the
premiership, is there an initiative to include Welsh teams to
make up the numbers?". But, he didn't ask that - but, the answer
from Laurie was actually quite good. Basically, he was saying
that it was better to have 10 good teams in a competitive league
where every game counts than having more teams with less
meaningful games.)
