What do you mean, where is it? Don't you read stuff on here? Is his name still on his office door? I've been saying for a few weeks that he had that dead-man-walking air about him but nothing has happened, he's still here, so who knows? I don't think anybody does, and I certainly don't claim to know.

You said there were plaenty of signs. Apart from the fact he is still coach I haven't seen or heard anything recently.

I have posted precisely this on a number of occasions recently, and in more detail. To recap: we received a B licence last time - that's 5-7 points. IIRC re scored 7. If we don't get the OSV, then next round we gain a point for the salary cap breach, but could lose 3 for ground < 40% full, average attendances <10k and not making a major contribution to the game. That looks to me to be the worst case, and gives 5 points so still (just) a B licence. We'd have probably 7 points with the OSV, worst case.

just a thought but could rumours about us playing at dewsbury whilst odsal is being done be in order to stop us losing this franchise point. As the <40% full criteria would be applied over the 3 years, we were above last year, may be slightly below this year but would be likely to get 80%+ capacity in a 12k rams stadium as opposed to 30-40% at VP.

Dewsbury is now looking like the most likely place.

Something needs to be sorted quickly as concrete plans will need to be in place prior to the season tickets for next year going on sale

Days of games and place will affect some peoples ability to renew
