I think we've been stale for a while and have needed fresh ideas and changes in some respects.

That said, if you believe rumours, RW stepped down due to the fact that he was apparently told that investment was waiting in the wings that would come in if he was no longer in charge.

Steve Ferres is a brutally honest fella and completely different from RW at the Meet the Directors. I have every faith that he'll get rid of the deadwood and bad - if given the opportunity - and put in some solid foundations.

But the fans need to similarly wipe the slate clean on this season and start again next season. We cannot be seen to be weak by the RFL and this is an ideal opportunity for us to build a dynasty for the future.

Yes 'Fully' I agree. As supporters we have to put this season behind us just the same as many other clubs have to every season, sometimes when only half way through the season.
We are not in such a bad position because at least we have a CEO who has come in and stated that we have to rebuild from a honest platform and that in view of recent goings on at some clubs is not a bad thing. We can only move forward I just hope that the players are up for the challenge.

"Since my appointment, it has been a priority to evaluate the club's position as a business and as a competitive Super League team. This is an ongoing process that will result in some changes over the course of the next few months and beyond"

Tigers to stay at Wheldon Road ? Restructuring of the BOD ? Millward to be stood down ? It all seems very sketchy at the moment.

After reading SF's statement I will be buying my season ticket for next year. Nice to hear a bit of honesty for a change.

"As I'm sure you all agree, change needs to happen to bring a new culture to the club"
This also needs to take place amonst us fans. Yes the club has endured one of its worse seasons ever but this is the time that we should all pull together to ensure that it is not repeated again next season.

Together you are stronger

I've met Steve a few times with my association with Swag,Steve Ferris leads with his head,he's not scared to make tough decisions and says it as it is,sometimes when he possibly shouldn't!But he's a knowledgeable guy and you'll be ok with him.Onwards and upwards guys!!

Ey up mate, they've already nicked our advertising ideas, don't go giving them our slogan as well!!

I think the major changes that cannot be disclosed yet are related to our sponsors (particularly our main sponsor). Did you notice there were advertising hoardings missing at out last home game?
I believe we are having major problems within this field that is affecting our cash-flow. Not much more I can say on here – but believe me – I would like to.

Did you go to the Castleford Tigers School of Communication? Dangling a carrot but not making the string long enough is a method favoured by CTRLFC

I think you'll find the missing hoardings are the ones that have been removed because the SL deal with Elonex ended, nothing to do with Cas.

Equally, the shirt has fully signed up with sponsors and has more money on it than ever before (Fozz's words) and I also happen to believe that we have a new stadium sponsor too. Sponsorship is not an issue at all.

The issue is the supporticon_surprised.gifutgoings ratio.

when will these sponsorship deals be getting announced,obviously the cbr one as been but whatabout the others???

Fully - I'm not talking about next year's sponsorship. The cash hasn't come in for this year.

Cannot see that being true at all fella.
