Bitter?? No I am most definatly not . I am enjoying my rugby and my involvment with the club I have supported since 1953 ,I am happy with the people who run the club and unlike you have no aspirations to be on the board. Nor would I like you, knock anyone who has done a dificult unpaid job in their own time either.

I am gratful our club is still going due to various people in our past and present history investing time and money in what seems at times to be an uphill struggle for most of the time but The Supporters Trust would be very grateful to any fans who may have any ideas and are willing to put in the time to help pursue them if justhebasicfax wishes to pm me we are more than willing to listen. A germ of an idea could become a bit of a moneyspinner albeit under a differant format.I appeal to all true fans of the club to try to go the extra mile just at the moment we are after all in this together .



On another note may I also like to add that the Supporters Trust Committee volunteer workers for the club (one of whom works at the club 7 days a week )all pay for a season ticket.As such even though they have matchday jobs(ie) working in the shop ,selling programmes or just helping out unpaid the still pay in to watch the match.

Having seen the statement on the other thread from Mr Fax taken from the club page, I was just wondering when the full announcement is expected.

I fully trust the BODs yet if you are reading this please understand that we have had many an uncertain time over the years and having two important guys leave at the same time will set the alarm bells ringing.

I dont get into conspiracy theories and gossip, I am, like many fans, a little uneasy at the moment.

I have had my PC on pretty much since Saturday AM and when I saw the Mr Fax post at 8.30 this morning I was hoping for some light spreading on the situation.

Any news on the full press release yet anyone?

Perhaps Columbo can investigate the goings on?

Columbo was a homicide detective. Who's been murdered?

Hey I am not saying all mate, just some.
I know RL is full of people who want everything for nothing and it is imo worse than football for that.
the point I am making is the club need to make sure that only thos who justify a freebie get it, and even then they should not expect it.
If we all want our club to do well we should all help by paying to get in at least!

Is anyone sure that the club give out freebies of any kind? Can you prove it?

Your club by the looks of it, both these individuals leaving without any real explanation is worrying.

Both will be waiting for Michael Steele to return from his foreign trip before commenting. We do things with a little bit more decorum in Yorkshire pal.

Is this a level?

That doesn't make sense in this context. What are you on about?

This whole thread makes little sense anymore.

Two directors have left and we gave gone from there to impending doom to wild accusations about freebies and who gets what

Anyone remember when we used to discuss RL instead of making stuff up?

Being totally honest. While I was on the board, I had a season ticket for 1 season and not the 2nd. I never got to watch a whole match due to helping out in one area or another of The Shay, and often travelled down from Hartlepool on a match day and I thought the amount of money I was spending on Sponsorship and the amount of time I invested in helping the club, more than compensated for the lack of a Season Ticket for games I was only watching for 20/30 mins.

I NEVER got and was NEVER offered a free meal on Match Days and the only Freebie I can think of was the RFL Away Day paid for by the RFL.

What DID disgust me was when expensive 3/4 length coats were being given out to some people by the shop, which I declined to take.

I know of free tickets given away to people. but they tend to be players tickets which they are entitled to and if they have no use for them, they are passed on to others who they usually know anyway.

Then there's Neil who organises the coaches who is given a free ticket to Raffle on the Coach and who (I BELIEVE) gets a ticket too, but who can possibly deny for the the amount of money he regularly raises and which (I BELIEVE) is an agreement dating back to The Taverners days. My apologies if this is wrong, but if it's correct, I certainly wouldn't have an issue with it.

Graham Clay was the best thing to happen to this club in a long long time IMO and Howard, as we all know, is a very well respected businessman. It's a shame they've gone.
