I know no more than the rest of you Halifax, appart from I found out today every club receives money from the RFL on the 17th of every month; three days away. If no one has been paid by the 19th (Monday) at the latest we can assume Austria Holdings have zero interest in even attempting to run the club properly. If this saga drags on into next week then I believe we won't have a team next year, and the club will inevitably fold, at which point the question becomes is there a future for semi pro rugby in the town? Would the RFL allow a phoenix club to immediately re-enter the competition like what happened at Bradford? Can any investors be found to create such a club? Do we as the supporters need to start looking into the possibility of a fan owned club which is the system Rochdale have?
These are the questions we need to answer to ensure that if the current club dies, the cougars live on.
This is a very, very disappointing and worrying state of affairs and poses the inevitable question on the true motives of the new owners.
When people repeatedly go back on their word they become unworthy of trust. I won't be renewing my season ticket until the new owners issue a verifiable explanation as to our future.
