Notes:

The club was placed in administration in December 2003 but was taken over and came out of administration by the end of Summer 2004. The club plays at the 96.6 TFM Arena, a 25,000-seat stadium that opened in 2003. Formerly known as the George Reynolds arena, it is now named after a local Radio Station under a sponsorship deal, receiving the current name in November 2005.

Turnover and pre-tax profit figures are in millions.
