Hope you don't mean me!



The plan in the fans forum was to adopt Widnes' model of paying season tickets monthly, and for 12 months of the year. We've also halved our wage bill.

They're shutting Oldbury in February 2012. Oldest nuke plant in the world. I suppose they could "retire" it on Saddleworth Moor.

Yes a massive reduction in spend on players and staff , no new investors on the horizon , and time to run as a business , a lot of work needed and some new ideas need to be tried , we are fortunate that there will be no relegation this coming season

We will find out now what our true support base actually is ?

So yes we have the RFL to thank , HMRC would not accept our payment promise , it would seem the RFL have been able to convince them they will receive their money as agreed

Exciting times ahead.
We can bring in the new coach and get the squad sorted out.
We will not be running a 23's for 2012 - saving £50k - but will be in 2013.
The club will be re-invented as a community club with a lot of people financially contributing to our well being. Arthurs sudden departure nearly killed us but we are still here, without entering administration, and have a lot to look forward too.
Thank you RFL for advancing next years money, our income streams will be massively increased on recent years and we will be very strong in 2013.
A big thank you to all the fans who supported us through this challenging time.

Maurice - yesterday you said "the old girl should be laid to rest"

That's quite turnaround Lazarus me old mate

Well said Rich, I thought that too. I was ready for jumping off something high after reading that last night!

Heaven forbid I agree with you............

You should agree with me. You should all agree with me always. And then I'll change my opinion.

I`ll agree to disagree with you on this one......

I attempted to get a reaction for the scrap ahead.

Not so nasty the rfl now are they

Love the RFL me.

Actually, tb's pointed out in the past that it is - and he's boss.

err actually Calder Hall, was the world's first nuclear power station to generate electrical power on an industrial scale. First connection to the grid was on 27 August 1956.

But that aside I will be purchasing a season ticket, or maybe a Silver Touch Down, some good news in Leigh for a change. Apart from winning the Northern Rail Cup, finishing second in the league and reached the semi-finals of the Championship play offs, good season considering.

err, but it shut down in 2003. Oldbury is the oldest [icurrently[/i.

+1.

I think he's actually Nigel Wood under an alias.

The Internet isn't big enough to disguise Nigel Wood

I think more lower division clubs could run more like the Green Bay packers and be community owned and run clubs. 250 quid to buy a piece of the club and have voting rights would set up some clubs nicely.

Licencing is sorting that out now anyway , no individual will consider taking on a club that cannot get admitted to the top tier

Steve O'Connor did. Made a million pound profit too.

With a cool two million turnover.

2.5 it was

Curses foiled by a technicality of a functioning power plant as opposed to one being decommissioned. Should have read the rules.

This is the VT. There are no rules - only pedantry
