I'd rather gamble our future on a fan owned club starting in CC1 than gamble our future on Mr X with unknown reasons for buying the club if he /they are not supporters or RL people. I just think that the Super League at all costs attitude is not the way to go, unless of course we are all glory fans?

problem is that like it or not we need the glory fans to keep turning out to make us economically viable. the likes of you and me would carry on going irrespective of whether we were in SL or CC1. But I seriously doubt the club could survive at CC1 level in any recognisable form. Strip away all our current players plus bulk of youth teams, who would be snapped up by other SL teams, and whats left. A drop down the leagues wouldnt be for ayear or two til the next licensing period then us coming straight back up. It would be for 5+ years and the support we'd shed could easily condemn us to being stuck at that level permanently.

mmmm making the coaches redundant and keep banging on about how we may not get through this, was maybe his way of encouraging fans to come to the game.

I think we have averaged over 12k fans this season anyway, and no doubt if he wasnt the administrator he would we would have got over 10 anyway, think alot fans used tickets as we have given enough to the club, by pledging and donation ino i have, and the £20 we pay to get in more likely went to pay his fees.

think its only in the case of us getting liquidated. If we go newco route then assume they'd vote to keep us in. Think their going down route of getting a 2nd french club in is preferable to bringing fax or fev up.

RFL all over, fetch a team in that brings 50 or so fans to away games. That should help average attendance figures. Be better fetching a team in from the Middle East .

His firm will get their money as a matter of course. If no-one else is paid his company will be, you can rest assured of that, so denying the club the cash is probably a bit self defeating. Though, maybe it's a fair tactic to keep your powder dry, as it were. Guess that time will tell..

If so, it's another example of the God of Round Numbers. Isn't it amazing how the number of payers was exactly a round thousand number? It's like when the government needs to waste cash on something it always comes to a round million, or billion.

Or even £500,000?

Ross from T&A
Gary Tasker says that Brendan Guilfoyle will seek to extend today’s deadline to avoid liquidation as the club seek to push through a sale.
