He's off contract and hasn't signed a new one yet.

Cheers guys!
Would you keep him or look elsewhere???
I know i've been involved in plenty of "banter" with you over quality of our respective squads but i honestly did and still do think newton is past it if a team want top 4 every year.

Also 8,000 how did they get that, there must have been at least 11,000 there.

Sorry to dissapoint you here,but it's clearly evident that the Bulls are now down to the die hards,and there's clearly not many of them left!

And so far, we're still only an average of about 1,500 less than the current league leaders.

As mentioned in another thread he seems to have calmed down and with it went that edge he had as hooker.

Rubbish. Popular stand was as sparse as I have seen it since 1996.

Dreadful Bulls crowd. Decent Cas turnout.

Thing is though the majority of people posting on here will ahve been there. Like, for instance, me + 2.

Denigrating the size of the crowd and casting scorn on those who didn't turn up (on this forum) is pretty much like "shouting" into the wind. What you don't get back, nobody will notice.

I agree though 8k is probably not much more than season ticket holders plus a few other hardcore fans.

Not much in the way of revenue gained today I'd guess.

It's certainly not the best time for us to be in this position either given the amount of people who are either out of work or being asked to work less hours.

I just hope the stay aways will not stay away permanently. I'm currently debating whether I can justify the £23 entrance to Craven Park and then the other costs involved for next week!

£23?

It was £20 last time I went and I found that steep.

Is it really £23 a ticket now?
