Taking Brews point about membership, I posted earlier that I would seriously consider joining, however until the club have not only business men at the helm but people also understand how to run a rugby club my pennies are staying put, they might not earn much in the bank but …

So London are now begging for £350k to survive the winter. Just the start of things to come imo. What happens next year? A request for yet another £350k? It's all just papering over the cracks. Massive reform needed.

London have said they need 900k to get through next season, with 350k needed in the next month or so, so they can make commitments. A lot of money to find in RL.

Our own situation though, everything has gone very quiet. Had the announcement about Tangata re-signing but nothing since. No update on the financial situation, coach, signings, sponsors for 2025. Nothing at all. And anyone who dares mention it on the facebook fans forum is labelled a troll or negative.

We are used to it at FCHT. A chairman/owner who treats the supporters with utter contempt then wonders why attendances are reducing.

With Fax though, there is probably a hell of a lot going on behind the scenes. Fax have always been extremely good in communicating with the support base so its no surprise some are getting frustrated.

I was concerned with some of the things Ive heard why Lee Kenny stepped down. Got the impression he was one of the good guys and from what Ive been told, he didnt want to hang around given the direction others wanted to go. Rumours will only strengthen the longer there is silence.

Not surprised anyone doesn’t want to be involved and hang around a rugby league club these days and my concerns are that the same goes for why anyone would want to get involved and if there are any “others” for Fax to be going anywhere.
