Excellent articles what a sorry mess the game is in " Im all right jack" stuff everybody else

Quote bentleyman="bentleyman"Hope you check every clubs account FD and put it on their Forums '" There's some right shockers, bentleyman, for example Huddersfield Giants .................... https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/comp ... ng-history ............ lost over £1 million at the last count and were insolvent to the tune of over £13 million, owing a "related party" (presumably Ken Davy) over £14 million. These so called "sugar daddies" aren't giving their money away, they're lending it (even though one could argue they're unlikely to get it back). The 2 SL clubs I've picked out are heavily in debt and want EVEN MORE money to squander, Very scarey.

There's nothing wrong with doing that. It's public information.

And they think that is a threat?

I've been saying for ages that the Championship & Championship 1 clubs should unanimously reject DR. It is universally hated and Fax only use it because the rest do.

Stopping DR would hurt the SL clubs most as without their arrogant use of "feeder" clubs they would be forced to reinstate Reserve Teams which they would be obliged to have anyway if Rimmer had any balls!

Don't think anyone will disagree with you FM.If a S/L Club has threatened a C1 Club they should be named & shamed disgraceful bully boy tactics

Yep, the "threats" now confirmed in greater detail by the Faxlore post and links.

I sincerely hope this backfires across the sport as the ones being threaten and everyone with anything to do with the game now have no doubt as to the nature of their SL partner / clubs and once you give in to this like any sort of blackmail in only leads to bigger demands and then a nasty ending.

As Bentleyman says these people should be publicly named and shamed, they are a disgrace to their clubs and the game.

In the same Sky program it was also mentioned that Mr Rimmer was keen to point out that he had not just rolled over but had tried to stand up for the Champ and Champ 1 clubs and the wider game.

I heard the club is Warrington Mick. Also hearing SL have got their proposal through. Beyond belief!

Apparently by as much as 2/3 rds of the vote, 35 - 18 in favour?

I cant speke !! Stunned

Ian Lenagan quoted ' Its a vote for Super league and Rugby League.' !

I can usually get my mind round most things and rarely completely dumbfounded but not this time.

What are we missing, how can anyone outside SL vote for something like this.

Someone please explain.

Has there been some sweetener to lower league clubs ? there has to some benefit for the lower league clubs or they wouldn't have voted for it. I'd like to know which clubs voted against.
