The State of Leinster Rugby's Finances

Bogota · 2013-04-29 14:14:56

Another thread earlier got me thinking, what are Leinster's finances like? Are they in anyway comparable to some of the top 14 sides? Leinster have excellent attendances however someone noted earlier that the rent in the RDS is huge. Also I believe Leinster are still paying off the redevelopment of Donnybrook but is that…

The above looks beautiful, and it would apparently bring the RDS to a 23,000 capacity. Throw in some terracing and that figure could easily be 25,000 which would be perfect.

Remember Leinster had that "ask the CEO" a while back. Were the questions and answers ever published ? I'd be surprised if he wasn't going to be answering detailed questions on the future plans for the RDS in it.

That planned RDS is almost Wimbledon esque. It is gorgeous.

Can't see why it can't be both, like in the purposed plans:

Now your talking. That looks brilliant. Something along those lines with a capacity around the 25,000 would be perfect.

It's been awhile but I still think a 25K stadium is too big for Leinster.
