I heard the reason for SF leaving was his request for 100K was turned down. This 100K was for improving facilities ie toilets, bars and turnstiles. The BOD refused this telling him he had to work to the original budget he was given.

| One thing for certain is we have dodged a bullet by not partnering with Eric France Metals. Wakey are 100K down on sponsorship money for this season and are now looking for a replacement sponsor. And we thought Probiz was dodgy.  |

George Bush says 'we are losing the war on drugs'. Well you know what that implies? There's a war going on, and people on drugs are winning it! Well what does that tell you about drugs? Some smart, creative motherfookers on that side.":23517.gif |

I got the info from someone involved and he has absolutely no reason to lie to me. |

I find it funny when looking back at various posters on your forum when our deal with Probiz went belly-up. What comes around eh.
Look on the bright side - we went a full year without any sponsorship money. Wakey have a chance to get a new sponsor in now. Shame about the shirts been messed up though. |

If this is true then all we need is for the potential sponsor to be named and it will all come out into the open. Its what the fans deserve at least. |

Makes you wonder if the 2 stories are linked. SF & NF try to introduce a new sponsor which is turned down. NF takes the potential sponsor to Wakey with him to replace Eric France Metals ? |

"Castleford's biggest home crowd of the 1991-1992 season wasn't quite 12,000 while on average they'd sit around 6000 but the noise, the chanting and the singing just blows you away" - Tawera Nikau "Standing Tall"
"I can tell you the atmosphere was extraordinary at Wheldon Road on big days. The ground held around 15,000 people, every one of them close to the action on the field and the noise would be enough to send a rumble through the town" - Malcolm Reilly "Reilly - A Life in Rugby League":d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_39793.jpg |

If this is true, it is disgaceful behaviour by JF and RW. Expecting the CEO and Commercial Manager to attract sponsors to the club in order to line their own pockets at this moment in time.
But , we will never know if it's true unless, as Tigerade says, the potential / lost sponsor blows the whistle on this bunch.  |

A bit of wishful thinking there old boy. Yes they have gone bust and they do owe us, but not 100k. The whole deal wasn't worth much more than that.

Unfortunately Vasty, the club itself has been quoted saying that the collapse has left you with a six figure shortfall which could be anywhere upwards from £100,000. There were already rumours that you were heavily in debt again prior to EF going belly up. Tough times ahead for both our clubs by the looks of things. |
