But none the less its what happens in countless business worldwide, legal or not.
TBH RL clubs such as ours are in no position to decline such interest even things we are probably the most likely to be shanked.
Fortunately the RFL none of whom I would employ in any directorial capacity anywhere, are their to save us from ourselves, unsuitable suitors and ensure fair play!!!!

Isn't Glover just a front for someone else also? I'm certain that Wakey's new found pot-of-gold isn't all coming from West Yorkshire Windows.

I would hope so and if any of this is true I would welcome it with open arms.

We should realise the SL game has changed recently. Without a major benefactor there is simply no place for us at the top table. In a couple of years superleague will be run by 12 or 14 wealthy people. Men like Pearson, Moran, Davey, Hetherington and Lenaghan. Unfortunately thats the way the game is heading and if we want to be part of it we must accept this.

Cas Tigers as a club are still been held back by various forces. Fans are staying away not just because of a poor season on the field but because of disallusionment with the BOD and more inportantly fans cannot see any direction for our club.

Its time for change and we could go down one of 2 routes. Firstly we can accept major investment as I have described above or we could put the onus squarely with the fans. I have a feeling that Tuesday's meeting with the fans will indicate the latter and not the former and this route will only see us keep our heads above water a little longer.

AFAIK AG is the clubs sole owner, however there are now about 4-5 directors.

What about shareholders ?

Would be limited to those mentioned at the most I would assume.

Clipper Man?

Glover and Elston are the 2 sole registered directors .The other/s recently announced may be associate director/s who hold no "director" responsibilities (cas have 2 or 3 )

Glover has 95% and Elston 5% shareholdings

As I thought then - Glover and WTW adds to the list of sole-ownership clubs in SL.

I wonder if the RFL have any concerns about the way ownership of the game is heading?

I'm sure AG would be willing to welcome investors onto the board,. Trouble is good ones are a bit thin on the ground.

Why, the club name is used more than the representetive town or city name, single ownership is the preferred model when using franchising.
Look at the NFL, it's the perfect model for franchising and clubs sometime move ownership and location when failing or financial benefits are possible.
Personally, I don't think it works in British sport, particularly in RLs case, and it certainly doesn't achieve what the franchising was set out to do, create sustainable we'll run clubs.

All sorts of rumours from supporters of various clubs at the GF last night, regarding the "situation" at WR.
Fingers crossed its 2 & 2 = 5.

Its great to see that other clubs supporters know what position our clubs in

I know what you mean speedy, I mean rumours never ever end up coming true do they!!!

You sound lik a Bradford fan Pre admin!

Or a polecat fan pre admin ?

I take it with a pinch of salt.

All will be revealed tommorrow evening. I'm getting quite exited now - a mixture of dread and not knowing what our future holds. Probably down to the dreadful season we have just witnessed leads to something like this been entertaining in a sick kind of way.

Tomorrow night is nothing more than a trick to get you all to join a club lottery. The 'biggest announcement in club history' line is now a bit old hat, Ferres is comming from another angle to sucker you all there and sell you the lottery.

Can't believe a club would just call a meeting to sell season tickets, lottery tickets or launch a hardship fund would they?

Barnsley, Yeah, they would, not just saying ours would, many would and have before.

CTRLFC has to do something, but there are so few tangible ways..... We need people tied in to a cash up front scheme which net improves the cash position of the business..... Whether you name that a season ticket, loyalty scheme or whatever, I am tempted to say if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck....

I've had my say previously on the merit of converging the loyalty activities and how that long term improves the positions and it is immidiately cash positive, so I won't labour that again, whatever they do.... Good luck.

L.O.B

We're not going in to Administration are we ?

Hope not.

It sounds more like what jack in a box has suggested.
A bit like what we all got dragged to Cedar Court for, not sure how well it works as i dont think its particularly that brilliantly done by us, but I'm sure it must generate some profit so it must be worth you joining.

We've already got a lottety (Tiger Fever). It could go up from £1 per week to £2 which would be more in line woth mostr lottery schemes.
