Oldham Roughyeds are not related to the Bears in any way, shape or form - completely different club. Oldham Roughyeds had no assets, no players, no kit - NOTHING. Unlike Harlequins and Widnes that reformed and kept the same personnel, gorund etc. Two completely different scenarios.
The Roughyeds when in debt have paid every single penny back with interest unlike some clubs.


When BQ pulled the plug, we offloaded the money players not keep them unlike yourselves. That galvanised us stronger, and yes made us solvent again. We had to adjust our BP overnight to accomodate the deficit in funding - best thing that ever happened in my opinion. What really narked me is in a previous thread calling our fans because a) they were vocifeorus, b) there were 5 x more there than the local support c) we beat you - not once, but twice

5 times more than local support? We average 200-250 so with a crowd of 780 and that included corporate of around the 150 mark that leaves 630 , say 230 panthers(including our wigan/warrington contingent) , you brought 400 cant work the 5 times quote out? You beat us not once but twice? Fact !!!

If these dodgy payments made via the backdoor were included in the amounts paid to players, it's likely you would have exceeded the cap. So its a technicality, you broke the rules, you pay the price.
