That's how Roughriders financial officer Kent Paul broke it virtually to shareholders Wednesday night. "Since we are a gate-driven league and we are unable to play games, this has had a significant impact on the club's revenue," Paul said. Forty-three per cent of the Riders revenue in 2019 came from gate receipts, to the tune of $17.1 million. The Roughriders chief financial officer, Kent Paul, says the club's financial model has drastically changed since the start of the pandemic. "This is the biggest financial crisis the Saskatchewan Roughriders have faced in 110 years."
