Quote: Mirfieldbull "Article in today's YP about yesterday's press briefing from the RFL, with a couple of points I'd not heard/seen before. Apologies, couldn't find it on their website so can't post a link yet.
1. Rimmer stated 3 parties are keen to work alongside the new owners.
2. Chalmers and Lowe have not provided a financial bond as a guarantee.
From point 1, it would seem clear that the bigger plan around stadium development is the big prize for the new owners, there is no big prize from owning a championship team you have no emotional attachment to and from 2, wasn't it a pre-requisite to provide a bond in the application process? I suppose that Chalmers and Lowe haven't provided a personal guarantee, so maybe someone else has??
If this has been said before, apologies, can't keep track of all the threads and speed of developments.'"
By the sound of it the RFL has made a deal based around the stadium, they will want to get it sorted and probably make a few bucks in the process as much as anyone else.
It would be very interesting to see who the 3 "parties" are, but I suppose that will come out in the wash?
