It's a tough one this - with no money we can have no expectations, and with no expectations we will bring in no money = club goes backwards.

Its a bit like the economy in this country at the moment. If nobody takes a punt and gambles, nothing will move forward at all.

The fact is that last year this club survived because of the good will of the fans and staff, including the players. A camerarderie built and that good will built as the season started and things went quite well. The problem is that goodwill only takes you so far.

The alarm bells started ringing for me when Gerry Sutcliffe gave his predictions for the number of season tickets we were aiming for. I think we sold about half of that! They continued to sound loudly when the Willey woman stated that she expected a return on her investment. The bell was clanging even louder when she pulled out in such a public way, citing the behaviour of some of the club's board/employees as the reason.

It looks to me like the saviours of our club might not be all they cracked up to be. They kept it afloat, but for how long? is this club sustainable in SL, even if it goes to 24 clubs in 2 leagues?

One thing that has massively annoyed me is the number of illegal bill posters and notices pinned on lamp posts and road signs that are cropping up advertising events at Odsal. This cheapens the club and shows that infact our owners, and the people they entrust to do the publicity, have very little regard for the law, or the communities and neighbourhoods that they want to appeal to. I know this seems a petty point, but its little things like this that really annoy me and some of my friends and neighbours.

Absolutely. Said this pretty much all along.

I don't think they have any interest in the club whatsoever and are merely there to give themselves the publicity.

I could never trust a politician but even then I reckon he is the more solid of the two.

The players have often referred to a 'leadership group', which I guess means the more senior players. I don't know if this group was ever officially set up or not or whether it was just these players trying to do their bit to help the younger ones. Seems a pity if that has been lost though, whether by being 'officially' disbanded or by simply falling apart.

Did you ever take a look at GS's claimed expenses published on the Internet?

Interesting food/mortgage payments bill.

I don't think either of them are gonna put much in and PUBLICITY,imo,was the driver.

That's why I don't think either have longevity.

Someone at the club told me they are going to bring in Morrison & move Cummins upstairs a la Darryl Powell at Leeds.

Is this Sir Ken we're talking about..... , I don't think dual reg covers coaches..
