My issue is this , it's my understanding that the office staff , roughly 5 people are on 200k per annum and we are getting our information second hand from a Bradford fan .Might as well use that brass on the squad and get mick to blab for free.

The silence is deafening, the only positive news out of the club recently has been Tangata's extension and Kyle Eastmond's appointment. There is clearly some things happening in the background with players moving on. But who knows exactly what? Selling out the early bird season tickets isn't a huge cause for celebration given I think they were capped at 200 (someone may correct me) so not a huge number of tickets shifted.

Rochdale put this statement out, I think it's fair to say we're not in a too dissimilar position,

Well only 8 days till preseason and squad retentions and new additions to be announced, looks like it'll be a busy few days .

It doesn't make sense that new signings haven't been announced yet. And the last time I checked the winding up petition was still active despite the club denying all knowledge. It really looks like we'll be heavily reliant on DR next season ...... it "nearly" worked well with Leeds last season, probably the best DR we've had so far, but the whole randomness of the system makes it a mess - we've no idea who's available until the last minute. And what's the latest on the Shay? Why do these things have to take so long? Can't they all sit round a table and sort it out in a day? Why not?

It is a shame the state we are in. However if we are indeed DR with Warrington or get quite a few of their younger upcoming players may work out for us. If we compete OK and get to mid table on the league it could just see us through to 2026 and that might just stabilise the club. We all have to play our part which for most of us is supporting the club with our money on game days or buy a season ticket.

Much more important things to worry about Tony , business clubs , cash fax results and shop opening times take precedent.

Our 'board',Bosomworth and Calderdale council sort the Shay out in a day.....

Sit round a table and sort it, when one party clearly does not want the other at the Shay it will never happen. According to what has been, or not been said over the past few years in various media .

Well, it cant be David Bosomworth you are talking about...as he doesnt talk to anyone.

This is getting more than slightly ridiculous - pre season training starts Thursday and so far we have 6 players signed on - 2 of whom are probably still injured! The club needs to get a grip and release a meaningful update - even if its crap news!

They did an update, saying there'd be signing news coming up!

Must be saving it all for a busy few days...

Young Warrington prop Lucas Green 7pm?

Edit. Not even close on this one but LJ will do.

Well having moaned a couple of days ago about the lack of news on any signings/resigning the club are now announcing one about every 15 minutes. The 2 new signings had both been widely forecast but both look quality additions- absolutely delighted Jouffret is staying, and Graham who looked a quality winger - would be great if he could be paired with Crookes.

I think the squad is looking like it could be shaping up nicely. New "unconnected" young coach, and a couple of young forwards to add some freshness.. Hopefully will make a refreshing change to the tired squad we had last season, also remember that Calcott and Douglas is like having 2 new signings.
