The puzzling thing is though, whether banks are open or not, they could have, by now been collecting the pledge money had they closed the pledge and all card payments would be credited to the bank account regardless of whether the branch on Market St is open or not.

Extending the deadline means they won't now begin collecting the pledge money until Tuesday morning at the earliest. If it is indeed needed for salaries next weekend, then it's pushing it a bit.

So, was the cash actually needed quite that desparately or not? it's about time someone from that administrative shower started telling the truth!

Perhaps if you been on the Forums a lot longer and gleaned more relevant facts instead of fiction you might have a different perspective than your bitter cynical attitude towards the present board!

If the only financial factor effecting the bulls was the Harris deal, then selling burgess and fielden, as well as releasing peacock, Paul, pryce, Johnson hape, vainikolo would have cancelled the out surely.

I've defended Caisley on here, and shown my despair at the hood administration. The fact is because they don't and won't get on, we will never be able to be sure about any of the facts that are coming from either of them.

Ok here's a different take perhaps. Caisley is to blame, but not because of the Harris episode. I think that moving back into odsal, and renegotiating the lease in 2003 was the catalyst for our demise. Under the old deal, we were given a stadium complete with maintenance safety certs etc... But CCs ego meant that he wanted control, and that's what's cost us, long term.. The money we got from the council paid for the coral stand, instead of ensuring we had the money to keep the ground in a decent state of repair.

I know for a fact the coral stand couldve been built for a lot less, but his power trip meant he went for the more grand scheme. .


This is where he messed up most, not just in the Harris deal. But having said all this, look at the positives. All 4 sl titles, all 3 wccs, 2 CC wins that none of us would swap.

Neither hood nor caisley are wanted, but where's the queue to take the job on!?

Never trust a man with a moustache.

is the new announcement due in the morning and if so does anybody know what time? might be on another thread but cant find anything.

I don't remember seeing anything about an anouncement, just the pledge deadline being extended.
