We were weeks away from receivership last year.

I know Brian is happy about it.

I regard the fine and the embarrassment Brian has suffered as sufficient punishment.

Being in a position where we now have a backstop that can support us up to towards $1 million if we get into financial strife comes as a great relief.

We have always raised our levels of preparedness when hosting teams with elements of disappointing spectators, but in the Bulldogs case, history proves the problems are Sydney based.
