It's not new news, as stated elsewhere it was in the print version of the courier (just how many people actually but that?) on Friday.

Unlike many posters on here, I don't know the exact numbers involved, but it'd be a pretty fair assumption that to build up a debt of that size we haven't paid for a while, but at the same time, it appears that other suppliers and players/staff have been paid. No one has said otherwise.

A statement from the club could nip speculation in the bud, but if there is some legal proceedings going on in the background perhaps that explains the lack of information, according to the courier the council didn't answer all he points in the FOI due to ongoing legal issues as well.

Time will tell what happens, season starts next week. Can we talk about that instead?

Don't think I've ever seen a congratulatory post on here from you. I remember either side of our NRC victory - looking for your "well done" post. Not a fecking mention. But as soon as any whining occurs we can be sure to see your name appearing in the thread.

You suck. As a "fan", you suck. You're like the antithesis of a fan; in a parallel universe there's a Chris Smith who constantly backs slaps his club.

I've said it before, if ever Halifax RLFC feel the need to respond to trolls they'll be fielding inane questions on a weekly basis. I've no doubt that they will respond in the fullness of time but hopefully not at the behest of idiots like you.

I don't know about the printed version as it's just appeared as top story on the online version...??

Amen to that Brew.

With all due respect I think the topic is unnecessary it has been done to death off thread on 3 other posts.
Let's just wait and see.
As I say Monday 17th, those of you who want an answer may get one, me? As I have already said I couldn't give a flying **** I have 100% faith in our board.
Perhaps my rose coloured glasses will make the sand my head is buried in a nicer shade?

Don't buy printed version and article just made top story on online version. Taking into account other sad events reported that happened less than 24 hours ago I thought it was a new article. In light of all the rumours etc and accusations being mentioned plus my own thoughts I shared the link as well as my own thoughts... Last time I looked I didn't live in North Korea and was entitled to an opinion without the need to call into effect my fan status. I've trusted every board in charge of HRLFC over the years.....

Well said. People may not agree or like your opinions, but that doesn't make them wrong or invalid, and your sure as hell entitled to them AND this is an open forum.

That said, I am putting my trust and faith in our BOD and confident (hopeful at least) that they will see us through this.

Thanks SB. In fact I've never said I don't trust our board just asked for the truth whatever that may be.... Whatever they say I'll stand by them I just don't agree in silence being the best form of attack.

Surely trust is earned? TA lied to our faces at the open meeting, MS lied about not knowing who the potential buyer of the Shay was. The board has run up a 5-figure debt to the council, broken promises to pay by a deadline they agreed to, and are rumoured to owe another 5-figure sum to the caterers. Rumours or not, the silence is deafening.
