The main reason that I don't pay much attention to rumours is because of how easy it is to start them and spread them these days.

In the past people would pick rumours up in the pub when they met up, or at the ground on matchday. Nowadays, the internet and text messaging means that a rumour can be made up and spread in minutes.

It stuns me how many people have seen the likes of Bridge, Briers and Gleeson up to all sorts.
Perhaps I walk round with my eyes shut, but my dealings with players have only ever been professional (apart from on the pitch!). I go to town like many others, but have only ever seen a couple of players a couple of times. Of course I have had friends who have 'seen' things like most other people.

You will probablynot see much of Briers and Gleeson in Warrington as they normally stay in and around where they live. Gleeson normally around orrell and briers in the boars head in St helens. However those two have started going to Billinge recently.

I just try not to get involved with spreading rumours and leave it to the club to sort. I have faith in TS.

There's a bloke who lives on t our street. Never goes to matches. In fact, he rarely leaves the house. Only ever to go to the shops or for an occasional venture into town.
Now, I like him, he's a really nice bloke, but he 'knows' a lot for someone who doesn't go the matches. He always has an opinion of the game based upon the result and is always ready with a nugget of gossip of who was drunk as a monkey in town at the weekend and who has had a falling out with whom.

ever thought it might come from a mate who`s seen em up to no good...just a possibility...

Cheers, I'll bear that in mind

I have specific 'sources' that I'd believe, I've heard one or two things directly from former players that really disappoint me about the goings on at our club.

I was told a lot of things directly by a former NZ international who left the club a few years ago. I sort of hoped things had changed since then.
