With the inclusion of the Whitten Oval Redevelopment monies, the net profit for 2009 is $3,215,172.
Chief Executive Campbell Rose said that it is a pleasing result and will assist the Club in entrenching itself in the Western region, as it continues to solidify its reputation as the community club of the AFL and strive towards continued on-field success.
“The Western Bulldogs are on the way to being financially viable, and 2010 will see a key focus on the completion of the redevelopment and debt reduction strategies,” Rose said.
The Club’s revenue also grew to just under $32 million, an increase from 2008 which was a pleasing result in the current economic climate.
“To have established income growth in the face of the GFC was a very pleasing outcome for our Club. We continue to invest in our Football Department and we look forward to our Members rejoining in Season 2010 and supporting our players, coaches and staff in striving for the ultimate success,” Rose said.
