Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

The only problem with only being able to put a makeshift team on the field is the fact that fans will not pay £15 to watch us get beaten more often than not.
Without a competitive team on the field I fear the crowds will drop to around 250/300.
It will then take someone with real money to come in and start building a team to get some supporters back.

I know what you mean but there can also be the opposite effect, where a backs to the wall mentality, playing against the odds etc actually brings out the pride and fight in the fans.
It's hard to predict, but when we (Bradford) reformed after liquidation, we knew with that squad and a points deduction, that we'd lose plenty and be relegated. But perversely this brought the fans together.
But I would hope that if you can wrestle yourselves away from unscrupulous people, that the rest of us will try to help you out as they did for Feath and Leigh. I know Bradford aren't your favourites but I'm sure we'd reach out to help if there was a constructive way to do so.

If a team is assembled for next season and is put together by Austria Holdings I'm afraid for the first time in 50 years I will not be stepping foot inside the ground.
Although we don't have a big support it does mean a lot to quite a few family's and individuals and this company seem hell bent on spoiling it for them.
We won't have a team if Austria Holdings/ Shane Spencer remain in charge, it's well documented at this point they/he has no interest in rugby league. The only hope is some kind of takeover, and the clock is ticking. If their is a group of supporters trying to take control as is rumoured they need to get it completed soon while there's still time to put some time of squad together.
