Apologies if my comment offended, I speak as I find. Met the man twice in the sponsor's lounge, took an instant dislike to him and wouldn't trust him as far as I could p!$$ him.

If you get offered any free coach travel to games, dont take it, Rovers just been sent 5k bill for free buses to Leigh sorted out by an old emplyee of ours

I may be missing something here but even if a club decides to offer free coach travel to a game somebody has to pay that company for their services, usually the club.

True gfb. What I think my terminally daft mate might be alluding to is this.
The club offered free bus travel to Leigh. Great. Announced to the world with whistles n bells.
I believe that this was to be paid for by a sponsor who has failed to honour that commitment and is yet another debt the club has to honour.

Itll be reet .

to be fair he's brought in his first £85 pounds for the club without doing is home work

Sorry, as regular readers will know I am one can short of a six pack, but, I don't get that.

He's bought the Fieldhouse picture and he's supposed to be leaving at the end of the season I guess.

Thanks Norman.
It's still money to the under 20's so well done to him.

Does anyone know what the format is for the under 20's next season? By the sounds of it a few of the lads have got deals elsewhere so players might be a bit thin on the ground. A few in particular feeling hard done by as they were promised some game time in the first team by KH but they hardly had any contact with him all year.

I think they are still awaiting on the RFL to make their minds up what is happening to the Under 20s , there have been whispers they may change to Under 21s but the last I heard no firm descision as yet.

How can clubs be expected to plan ?

This has been on my mind for quite a while, obviously if the senior team had finished in the top two, the prizemoney/funding would have been a good provider but alas.

I remember the KH Courier comments re: Jarrod Ward during the pre-season training about him being big & strong and how he reminded him of a young Michael Hancock. He didn't get much of a 1st team crack and considering the roundabout of wingers we've had bringing in the vastly experienced Saxton & Fox by comparison to Ward's inexperience, it does make you wonder. Similarly, Joe Martin at FB, when it's been obvious that Fieldhouse wasn't Karl's favourite 1st pick. Both Ward & Martin have been given opportunities elsewhere though and good luck to them along with the others.
