Assuming that the RFL decide on who they are prepared to give a license to this week, does that realistically leave the new owner time to complete the legal process, recruit a squad and sort out all the necessary admin arrangements in order to be able to field a team for the opening week of the season?

Is there a scenario whereby the RFL might allow the club to postpone the first couple of matches to allow a bit of breathing space?

Its a good question, I had been thinking the same thing on the way home from the match. Are we open for trading? My lottery is now either due or overdue.

Stopped paying lottery at point we got liquidated. Afaik they stopped collecting it at that point.

Its in a separate account and as a charity type lottery is not touched by the Administrator and should be up and running again soon I hope!

Thanks for that, might just take a ride up and see if theres anyone about. Might be a bit like the Marie Celeste!

Well I believe the Ghost of Stuart Duffy still haunts the place but don't tell M E as he might be tempted to do an exorcism
