Batley Chairman tells it like it is! : Tue Nov 16, 2010 3:51 pm  

Batley Chairman, Kevin Nicholas added “Apart from Widnes who made £1 million profit because the owner put £2 million into the Club I doubt there will be many if any who have declared a profit and the Widnes situation is hardly an achievement. We regrettably do not have a person who can put £2 million into the Club but we do know that we can compete with Clubs in our League both on and off the field.” Full Article http://batleybulldogs.co.uk/index.php?o ... s-players- The RFL are refusing to register the Bulldogs players as they owe some money to the Inland Revenue. Hope its not the case at any more clubs as we won't have a league next year!

And I guess he knows this how? Trying to say we made another million loss and only brought in 500k revenue? I don't think so somehow.

I like the guy and love Batley but what the fudge have our books got to do with him?

Typical RFL btw crack down on lower league clubs whilst let the golden boys run free!

To be fair he's a great chairman is Kevin, but if they owe money to the inland revenue i can understand the RFL being touchy especially given other circumstances with the likes of Wakey and Oldham.

Sour grapes all round. People just love having a pop at us don't they? Cue the idiots.

By his calculations the year Widnes won the cup and they finished outside the 6 they made more money than we did??? Numpty! Great chairman but stupid comment, bitterness within this league is just boring now!

Bless. Just another victim, weak minded fool. Just because he can't keep his own house in order, no need to go dragging our name into it. Although it seems par for the course to try and kick Widnes when any other club is struggling.

Screw him and his poxy small time club. I hope it goes bust.

So long as they apply the same rules across the leagues then i'm happy and agreeable to their caution. My guess is, bollax they will.

I’ve got a funny feeling that old fat gob may have recently received a call from SOC’s lawyers asking him to remove his sad little outburst of unsubstantiated lies, because the Batley site is now down. And that's the last time I ever go to Batley. Edit: it's up and running again now, and it's still on. I wonder if we'll get a response from SOC on this? I hope so.

What an idiot and mentioning Ste Oconnor putting in 2 million.Bitterness springs to mind, and i think we will see this aimed at Widnes for the next 6 months.You have to laugh.To be honest i think the Fax fans have been decent compared to Leigh fans.I would love to see Widnes and Fax, swap with Wakey and Cas as they did not care about us on the last franchise.
