I agree. All I am saying is that I am not comfortable with the continuing lack of information, and the possibility that it will go into a black hole with administration still a possibility.

I understand where you are coming from but you should have thought about it a bit more before you pledged, have courage and pay you will feel better for it.

I paid because I felt it important to show the outside world what big club we are and how with the right investment and management we are as big as any club in Super League. I also agreed with the Bullbuilder statement which connected the payment of the pledge to what you refer to as the 'moral right' to hold the board accountable. Hence, the pledge is both a means to secure the future of the club but it is also a watershed.

Well. I've just returned from my hols abroad (blessed total absence of any news, Bulls or otherwise) so today is my first chance to honour my pledge. And I will, but where is the positive news on the next 500k on the back of the pledge sucess??, did I miss it? Why has an EGM not been called if Caisley and co demanded one? If he felt he could demand one surely he must have enough support and I assumed one was inevitable, and I would have thought it would be sooner rather than later. Is this infighting costing us potential investors?

From my point of view we don't seem much further on than when I left a week ago, which is disappointing, but hopefully there are positive things happening behind the scenes.....or maybe I've just missed a whole load of good news stories in between the obligitory serious injury and cr@p cup draw stories?.....I suspect I know the answer to that one.

.. think I'm best just making good my pledge, doing my bit, then just save up for another holiday whilst hoping for the best.

I think if you pledge it should be a binding contract ( You have the opportunity not to pledge) of which i can gather possibly 7.5 thousand members didnt. The whole point of this is to try and keep the club away from administration and move forward. THEREFORE IF YOU HAVE PLEDGED THEN PAY UP OR FIND ANOTHER CLUB TO FOLLOW

Dont they have to give 21 (or 28?) days notice to hold an EGM? They might be having it now!

There is a notice period, not sure on the length or how public the notice will be mind. I suspect if there is one we'll know about it beforehand from one source or another.

There was something on the cover of League Express about an EGM. I didn't buy it though so I dunno what it says inside.

The EGM will be sometime in May apparently. By then I would've hoped we'd have got the other £500k sorted. An EGM might force some musical chairs in the boardroom but unless a third party comes in and manages to buy a controlling lump of shares we're stuck with the same shareholders we've had for almost 50 years.

they announced at the same time as the pledge target had been met that they are talking to 2 individuals/interested parties about investment in the club and a number of commercial interests. A few days ago Hood said there was going to be an EGM in a couple of weeks. If one of those 2 individuals is Caisley then I would assume they are working very hard on the other individual and those commercial interests so by the time of the EGM they have a package to put in front of the meeting. I suspect the timing of Caisleys intervention was so the pledge would fail as admin and prepack would be the least cost option and therefore maximise whatever funding he has got together, and would have the benefit of keeping the fans on side, whereas if it succeeded he has to wade through pretty much the same mire as Hood or upset the fans.

My understanding is that board has to call an EGM WITHIN 28 days. If it has been scheduled for May that means the board has used the entire 28 days from the date Caisley requested it.

All delay is extremely damaging as clubs are now starting to offer contracts (anti-tampering or not). Administration is not the only way we may lose players. We are fast approaching the worst of all worlds. No investment to match the 500k, no new board, potenatially for another month (whoever they are) plus further delays for fit and proper tests etc and no resolution to the shareholding mess.
