And the opposition never had the intelligence to respond in kind?

Indeed. The club is a business which is carrying on regardless of who the owners or shareholders are. I can understand some of the more paranoid hanging on until the OK is given by red hall but, other than that, I can't imagine what other pieces of information might be needed, or are likely to be forthcoming.

There's very little more info that the new owners are obliged to disclose.

And, in an ideal world, if the RFL gives the green light then supporters ought to be reassured by that, or as re-assured as they can be given the precarious state of RL finances generally. Unfortunately the average RL fan doesn't seem to have a huge amount of confidence in the RFL.

It really comes down to how keen the new owners are to shift season tickets. Whether they feel there is other information that they could voluntarily disclose that might make fans feel confident enough to put their hands in their pockets.

Perhaps not.
The date of the Annual Return is 27/9/2013. If shares were transferred subsequent to that date they will not show on it.

Except that the £1 million is not exactly a cut and dried creditor/debtor situation. And why would any company wanting to turn a profit in 12 months be a source of amusement? What company could be sensibly run and want to run at a loss? Again, I can understand your confusion given that that seems to be the way London have been run year on year with the expectation that the owner will bank roll the on and off field failures.

Yeah good point. Time will tell I guess.
