That is yet to be seen, very brave statement indeed - best of luck with that one.

However before you accuse me of trolling it has to be said that successive Cas Boards have done a remarkable job keeping the club on an even keel.

What's so brave about saying we're still here? We ARE still here. It's not yet to be seen at all!

That would have been a great repost - however in written English when an item is in bold it's normally considered to be the highlighted talking point. So "CAS DO NOT SPEND WHAT THEY DO NOT HAVE" was actaully the issue - which I contend is a brave statement. One because you have RW in charge. Two because in the same way the sheer and sudden demise at both Wakey and Bradford caught the fans totally unaware up until the last few weeks - why are you so sure Cas are any different. I'm not saying you are heading that way I don't know, I'd just don't get why you are so sure you're not. These are strange times indeed.

The times are as expected, Cas hit a bad patch and you reappear trying to be amusing, its not working sonny. No wonder they dont like you over on the wakey board.
Hows your mate ted going on ??

That would have been nicely patronising - however, also written in bold were the words "and that sonny is why there is still a Cas for children to moan about".

With the exception of "we would like nothing more than to put a world class team in black and amber" I think it is a somber and balanced piece regarding the financial challenges with running a modestly sized club in this market.

I also commend Richard for not gloating a little and pointing out the RFL bailout of the Bulls with their ground, and London etc.... I would have been less gracious and said "I hope if we struggle to get financial security on our ground, the RFL will purchase that for us" but PR is not my strong point - principles are.

I think the world class quote is a bit of an own goal, but the bit about off contract players is a master stroke - basically says - if you are off contract, you are being looked at very closely - good call.

I think you'll find from the -£400k we lost last financial year we do spend money we don't have.

Too many of you are blinded by the rubbish you read in the C&P each week. The same story on rotation.

Actually, to be pedantic it was £360,000. Are you a shareholder? If not, I suggest you ask someone who is why we lost that amount i.e. planning costs, paying architects etc.

"Most significantly the disappointing results on the field at the start of the 2010 season, and the resulting smaller gates, contributed heavily to a £270,000 reduction in revenue from the previous year."

From RW himself.

I think you'll find that the key words are "contributed heavily to a £270,000 reduction in revenue". It does not say that they fully accounted for the losses.

I'm glad that you mention the word 'GATES', so many have in the past dismissed the importance of gates and prefer just to focus on money from SKY. Gates and attendances are still a very important factor for each and every club. As the RFL continue to spread the game, the expense of travel for the team and supporters will become an increasingly difficult financial challenge to us all. There are some increasingly tough times ahead!

I think it's a good statement, and it's cleared a few things up for me. It's as easy as that. If the club did this more regularly they wouldn't come in for as much criticism.
