What worries me is the statement on the official site from Handforth stating hes asked for the move due to the financial uncertainty at the club?

Can somebody from the club please come on here and let us know whats going on?


I think that's really what next Tuesday is about.

I think we need to be told something before next tuesday Gary.After todays developments it seems to be more serious than we think.

Also on other forums some people knew of this yesterday and are speculating on our future.Do they know something we dont?

I don't doubt its serious - how serious I honestly don't know and hope to be informed. I don't know any more than anyone else, I merely picked up on it from the original post from Baz Brown (on the Carl Hall thread) and offered to get a venue for Carl to address the supporters.

My view is its one night out of our lives - lets listen to what he has to say. At the end of the day, each and every one of us can then walk away and make our own minds up about what we hear. At the moment we no nothing except that there are clearly financial problems.

Reference people on other forums knowing, it was reported in the RL press on Monday that the Club has financial problems. It's pretty fair to say that our players knew and people in RL talk to each other - for example Paul Handforth has sought a deal with another Club, that can't all have happened just today.

Do we know if this is going to be an official club statement/meeting, or Carl's views on things/people (I only ask as it was intimated in the other thread he didn't want anyone else to do with the club involved which implies that latter)

The best answer I can give (you may recall, it was actually me who initially questioned it on the other thread) is that Carl's response to my question was 'I have the go ahead from the Club to do this'.

So does that mean we get the full truth or just the lies the club wants to tell us?

I salute all those that attend..

I am sure Carl is also as dissapointed about the whole situation as we are..

But i am having too much deja vu to really let this get me too dispondent.

I just cannot get my head around how any team in league 1 or 2 can seriously survive long term, with no serious backer. (out with a very few exceptions)

Football clubs spend millions and get millions and still don't turn profits, what chance do we have...

I hope something can be salvaged but too mauch time in my house is spent talking about the past and too much of that is tarnished with so many dissapointments.

I am currently in the process of trying to get back up North to live and one of the reasons has always been to get to more Games.

But in current climate i can only be reluctant to pay out money to watch a team that just will be unable to compete..

I genuinely admire all the effort from so many - but cannot see how with history that we have each season, we will ever attract the quality of players to the club - which in turn affects Bums on seats...

I hope i am proven wrong - but cannot see any other way that this is going but downhill?

Some more solid info now from the club would be appreciated..

PS hats off to Featherstone for the gesture of goodwill.






There's no I in team......but there is a me!

In view of the perceived seriousness of the situation, I would again recommend that if people can attend that they do.

As Baz has said, failing that if anyone has any specific questions they would like asked, by all means PM either of us and we will ask them.
