Quote ="maurice":fgqi6n3uI don't like it and said so at the time but we inherited it, and if others and I took your stance you wouldn't have a club to come back to, and why ? Because we have played Spencer every game and sometimes another one ? Did you feel the same way when Basil was using 4 of Blythe, Evans, McCarthy, Mitchell, Emmitt, Armstrong virtually every game ?
The rules changed and were abused by Swinton and Hunslet, we didn't imo but the word twinned is so wrong and the decision for SL to scrap 20's was ridiculous. The way we proudly announced we wouldn't be a part of it then back tracked was wrong also.
This close season will be critical to our future, we came very close to folding and but for the generosity of Derek and Andy, the support of the Thomas family and others, we have come through it a far healthier business but not out of the woods yet.
You know that historically a lot of my views were similar to yours, I know we both love this club but for it to move forward we must accept not everything will be agreeable to all, as in any business, but if you feel that passionately then work from within to change it not from outside, as I am sure your actions were not meant to kill the club but could well have if all had done the same.
Get back on Sunday and show us you are serious about wanting and supporting a truly independent LRLFC'"
And look forward to next season
