Couldn't agree more with the above.
Some highlights and low lights below.....
Hood took the role of Chairman on when nobody else would.
For long periods managed to keep the club a float and cut our cloth so that we are at least still here today.
Asking Gary Hetherington for the 2 points that were "stolen" from us at Millenium tragic against the Rhinos with "that" try from Jordan Tansey.
Brought back 10k crowds to Odsal with the pledge scheme.
Kept Steve McNamara too long.
Brough Mick Potter back to the club - something he will not now have the recognition for should we see the team bear any fruit.
Signed "The Beaver" Steve Menzies
Released / allowed "The Beaver" Steve Menzies to leave
Signed "he who shall not be named" who basically wrecked all of last season.
Sold the lease to the RFL, which at the time seemed like a good idea as we pay less in rent than we do on maintenance and rent to the council.
Didn't pay HMRC on time (appears more than once or twice) which has resulted in the mass panic over recent months.
Sold Andy Lynch for a wedge of cash - more than he was possibly worth given his age.
There will be lots more!
