For those who sent in texts on the night, Trevor would like to apologise for not getting to answer them but as you know the evening was running over time. Anyway, here are the texts - and the answers:
1. When Arthur left, didn’t he say that our debts were sorted till the end of the season? We considered that there should be no mention of Arthur which could misconstrued as criticism bearing in mind the presentation to him on Friday night at the Park Inn. There was little debt when he went but over the following months payments out started to accrue.
2. Don’t bad mouth the RFL too much otherwise they won’t advance any money! Point taken - we have a better relationship with the RFL than ever before.
3. So who’s fault is it that we are in so much debt? Time for the board to own up. Can you tell me how two open fans forums with the obvious transparency on show is any kind of a cover up? The fault or blame if it helps you deal with life, is not of the remnant board's making. It is pointless and unconstructive to comment further.
4. Can we get back to how the club has planned, is planning, to move forward? Hopefully what Keith said about the plan we have put forward shows that a lot of work has gone into making a sustainable plan. The four presentations from the PSG should demonstrate that we have a lot of positivity going forward.
5. Is the 70k debt to the players for Sept, Oct and Nov? Yes
6. What happened to the shirt sponsor we had sorted for the next two seasons?
It fell through unfortunately
7. Sell the programme online. Do a season’s subscription and sell individually. Create a smoking area outside ground during the match like other grounds do. Cheers Michael from London. Will have to think about this. We are loathe to sell he programme on line. More trouble than it is probably worth. It will the boost the advertising revenue from adverts which is probably best.
