Wigan Warriors have reported an operating loss of £1.680million for the financial year ending in November 2023, compared to £1.215million in 2022.
Local businessman Mike Danson became sole owner of Wigan Warriors last November, succeeding Ian Lenagan at the newly-named the Brick Community Stadium – the Wigan-born billionaire also owns Wigan Athletic FC, which brought the town’s rugby league and football club under common control for the first time since 2007. Dr Chris Brookes became the Warriors’ new chairman.
Turnover remained stable at £6.589m, against the £6.633m the previous year – with growth expected in the future, according to the directors’ report.
Wages also increased by a ‘reasonable’ 6.2% from £4.8m in 2022 to £5.1m, due to inflationary pay increases and the club’s continued investment in the playing and coaching staff.
