In which case I'd hope that The Hive is the option. Looks decent and with some vaguely well thought out marketing could be filled when the bigger clubs come to town. Hell, it shouldn't be hat had for the Broncos to fill it for most games !


Our attendances this season are dire because the team is so poor(same as last year) and fans will not come to see them incessantly thrashed!! Next season will probably be worse as we cant get the aussies here now, the better players up north WONT move down here so we will be left with the youth!?

Do you seriously think that the thought of Leeds or Wire putting 100 points past us is going to entice our supporters to turn up in thousands and FILL IT?

The thought of a weaker side than this one playing next year would be disastrous. If we have a weaker side we should drop into the Champ. None of the current rumours seem feasible.

Re: Best Case Scenario : Thu Aug 22, 2013 11:32 am  
Best case scenario....... DH tracks down Mr Abromovich or another PL football owner and he takes over funding the club. Builds us a stadium somewhere and pumps £££ into the LB's. Half of them are sport freaks (you need to be to invest in a sports club) so I can only see someone in a position like this taking a chance on us.

All other options will see us drop a league and continue our nomadic existance.

As for London...The Hive, with a 10 year lease, either as a SL or CH club and a clear and documented plan as to where they want to see progress and how quickly.


That has to be a minimum, if we survive. it needs some clear targets/milestones which CEO/Coach etc have to meet or......................... i dont know what the hell is happening, but i wouldnt favour dropping down? We may have spent to the cap this year - but with some poor players, i think a decent coach could attract a few players with potential and we could avoid bottonm too, but i am ever the optimist!

Re: Best Case Scenario : Thu Aug 22, 2013 12:03 pm  
Despite a ground move being the CEO's #1 priority for this season, I have very little confidence that factors like continuity of the development programme will have been a factor. Basically there are very few suitable options, something that was blatantly obvious before the whole wild goose chase started. Ironically, Gus has increased the number of viable options by allowing crowds to slide down to such pitiful levels.

Re: Best Case Scenario : Thu Aug 22, 2013 4:22 pm  
I think if you look at the 2013 squad, you'll note that there's a fair slice of salary sitting in the stands

* Unavailable for the majority of the season - Randall, Howell (probably about £200ks worth)
* Unavailable for most of the second half of the season - Bailey, Gower, Lovell, Channing (probably about £400ks worth)
* Available on an irregular basis - Robertson, Dorn, Colbon, Clubb, Rodney, Wheeldon and Sarginson (probably about £500ks worth)

That's about 13 players costing around £1 million of salary who will largely not be here next year, or if so hopefully able to upgrade their appearance ratio

Shedding most of these cannot disadvantage you in any way in my view

Whatever happens I think it would be stupid to let this club of yours die, even if it does mean a Period of rebuilding in a lower league, Cas managed it without a sugar daddy after 2 relegations ( neither deserved , wigans cheating the cap and Catalans exemption from the drop) .

Just one thing , your supporters need to drop that massive M62 chip from your shoulders as I think you will find most are willing you to survive.

Good luck from the team that the RFL can't kill ........Cas

All this spouting from Featherstone's major shareholder this week, as I have said before when the media should have been concentrating on The Challenge Cup, and what stands out clear, the silence from Red Hall and Nigel himself! he seems to have gone under ground.

All these who claim 100% confidence in the RFL, well I would not buy a £1,000 second hand car from Nige!

To be fair to Fev / their main shareholder I can't see what he has done wrong. He was asked by the media whether Fev could step up for next season. If you read his reply he says yes but makes it clear they don't want to. He says it would not be ideal and makes it obvious they won't approach the league but will talk if the league asks them to help out. He's not exactly demanding we be lobbed out and Fev admitted for next season.

To be honest if a SL team does go belly up good luck to Fev. They've done an impressive job in building things up in recent years. Unlike us.
