Same as you I take the Wakey Express and the Pont and Cas with a pinch of salt.
Worth checking out Shenny's article in Pont + Cas though regarding new grounds and the problems the Rhino's have.

Well why buy them then?

Out of curiosity would you sit and watch your work mates and friends all take the same pay cut to secure your employment, complain about, then take your family on holiday?

Point made but it does not mean a reduction in pay results in not taking a holiday.

I am sure in such a scenario the employer or employees will have some influence on how things progress.

How you spend your money is no ones business.
You don't know whether
1) they actually took a holiday
2) who paid for the holiday
3) whether it was paid for before reductions were agreed
4) how much it cost

So despite wanting to cause outrage it is no one's business but the individual involved.

I have a quick look at online P&C Express. There’s a couple of articles mostly by Powell, but couldn’t find anything re new ground and Rhino’s problem, can you give any details, thanks.

Doesn’t really say much for me that we haven’t all worked out. Rhinos have invested hugely in ground improvements and they can’t use the hospitality areas to pay for it. Worried as I am about our Financial future it seems all clubs have their challenges

Well that’s a bit more than 3 isn’t it! I’d prefer to believe MC than that rag. You can minus Kershaw so that makes two, I think we can survive for now.


Of note the only players on that list who you would call must keeps is BJB at a pinch. Kirmo is virtually part time anyway whilst Heaze is purely potential at present. Atkins and Koppy offer experience but both are ageing fast. To have satisfied the rest is a huge achievement and well done to all.

Sadly I fear all the hard work these past few years by both MC, JM, and many others (swag, etc), will now be put on ice for the immediate future. I know the government plan massive building schemes, but who’s going to put funding into private projects. But then again, I’m a glass half empty guy.

Well, topping up your glass DS, both MC and JM stated on the Q and A that they as satisfied as they can be, given the circumstances, that the club will come out of this in a good position compared to some other clubs, so hopefully progress on the stadium can still be made
