Sorry Pev, apart from a couple of points re the 'iconic' stadium thats got to be the most codswallop of an excuse to back the club that I've ever read.'"
not saying it is an excuse to back the club but pointing out a few of the soap opera happenings at the club.
Don't forget we don't have any rich benefactors who can just step in as with many other clubs, perhaps one is waiting in the background for the club to go bust and then pick it up for a song just like Widnes and Wakefield, because nobody will waste £5m to buy the club and then have to start investing. |

OK but please don't base the current status of the club on luck. Next you'll be saying it was the referee's fault  |

EB, I was thanking you for breaking up a post that, in its original state, was unintelligible. Sadly, in your format, it remained largely unintelligible.

So you can see that people have legitimate concerns about the way the club is being run? Pretty much every other post you have made has been a staunch defence of club policy. |

No no no Karlos - I havent defended the policy - I have only defended the Board`s position regarding funding - they have the right to govern as they think fit as they are paying the bills and I accept that - whereas others havent. |

Fair enough. Hopefully some good will come out of all the current turmoil before the season gets started. |

Nonsense Bpev if no one puts it to fred done how do we know his answer?? I'm trying to look for a solution i suggest you open your mind instead of dismissing things instantly. Early Bath has a great point and it's something positive. Peace out.
