pretty certain that articlel wasn't on T&A website before lunchtime today as I made a point of checking to see if they had covered it. Wont be first time time they've put an article on and backdated it either. Dead giveaway is the comments which dont start til 12pm today.

And that still doesnt explain way they handled headlines about being parttime when they knew it was incorrect. They went with a sensationalist headline to sell papers.

It did seem a little late in going up.

The way Jimmy acts at post-match interviews I can see this being an issue.

Jimmy has an issue with the questions Ross asks I believe. Marc Green tweeted about issues too.

To an outsider, this issue of a winding up order, by HMRC, is to be taken with a pinch of salt. In my view, it is a (scaring) tactic on the part of the 'Revenue'. They certainly won't wind up any company, as long as there is the slightest chance of getting their money. I'm willing to bet that most clubs have been the subject of at least one of these cases, at some time or other. I know ours has.

Lowes needs to be less thin skinned and show some manners. Ross needs to engage brain before opening his mouth sometimes.

IMHO of course.

It's a good job he's in a sport with basically no profile whatsoever if this is how he reacts to the least investigative newspaper in the country. He'd be doing a Keegan in every interview otherwise.

I haven't seen much evidence of a genuinely fractured relationship between the T&A and us. But were one to exist I'd say it was pretty wide of the mark to suggest it was 50% Ross' fault. There's no way the questions asked by Ross warranted the scornful and petulant responses he'd get back week in week out.

I agree Pumps. Some of the post match press conferences I've seen are awkward in the extreme when you see how Lowes responds to some questions. No need for it. Even if Lowes thinks Ross's question is dumb there's no need to be so passive aggressive.

Money troubles

Talk comes to us of a lower-league club struggling to pay its bills. This side, which plays in the Championship, is on thin ice financially we are led to believe. They have been doing well on the field in terms of results in recent seasons, but off the field things are much darker and its future could be precarious.
Hope it's not us

"They have been doing well on the field in terms of results in recent seasons - (plural)" Not referring to us then!

Well, that rules us out then. We did well last season but one year doesn't equate to "recent seasons", imo.

Most likely, it's Fev

Doubt if it's us then if the team has been 'doing well on the field in terms of results in recent seasons'. If we had been doing that we wouldn't' t be in the Championship.

My money would be on Featherstone. Their player turnover during this off season has been on another level.

Wouldn't be surprised. Heard it on good authority that the club is surviving on a month by month basis. One of the reasons why many of the players last season moved on (significant risk of not being paid).

Don't think they owe that much, just they have low cash flow.

I wouldn't wish it on anyone. For a fair while they were fantastic in the Championship and turning over the likes of Cas in the cup. And the group of fans who dismantled and rebuilt the stand from Scarborough have my total respect. But the aftermath of another fickle moneybags walking away may be coming home to roost. Sadly that's the RL way; we collectively are so in need of cash that we are unduly receptive to complete numpties who come and have a play then wander off again leaving chaos for the poor sods left behind.

Abso -bloody -lutely!

Looks like club talked about in article on love rugby is featherstone. Winding up petition lodged by Hmrc.

I feel for their fans. Hope they can resolve it.

Well, we know them significance of those...

They can't report the removal of something that's only been deferred. I agree with you on the clubs relationship with the local paper though. The club and the T&A should be working more harmoniously to generate positive stories that in turn generate increased media presence and season ticket sales.
