Quote: Scarey71 "I think that's the issue? I don't seen any alternative that's successful. There is no suggestion from me that Dewsbury becomes a permanent fixture. However, there is something that seems a little knee jerk in the desperation to get back to Odsal.

We seem to have stabilised but are we in a rock solid position? If so why jeopardise it? Why not stay put for a year or two in a very uncertain world and build on the platform when/if circumstances ease.

If we aren't then why join SL to get our backsides handed to us week in week out in a stadium we can't afford and undo all the work and pain we've gone through so far by getting immediately relegated and handing the lower SL chairmen the get out of jail free cards it seem that this grab for an extra club seems to be?

Sure, the bright lights of SL get further away the more the years at Dewsbury slide by but unless there's been a nod and a wink to the CH sides applying regarding the SL drawbridge being pulled up once they are in then it appears suicidal to go back to a stadium we couldn't afford to run 2 years ago. Even if it is pulled up we all must be fully aware that Odsal killed us and that death started in SL.

Those with the money to run the club wanted the lease, the RFL always said no. Even if they sell to Wood the hasty wedding to stock cars seems to indicate there is no desire in the slightest to improve the dump and lets be honest, as much as were emotionally attached to the place, its long passed it's sell by date and a couple of coats of Dulux will do nothing to change that. If the RFL retain the lease they don't have a pot to relieve themselves in.

Whichever way I look at it, unless the finances receive a decent and continued boost from someone with more money than sense then the future is looking very dark to me? Whether bottom of the SL or scratching in the CH we won't keep hold of the kids and Hudds, KR etc will still pick them off?

Even staying at Dewsbury looks grim but surely we'll survive there longer with no central funding that at Odsal, whether we have a years in SL or not?'"

Their last set of accounts (to end Jan 2020) show them to have £3.8m of debt despite MK writing off that owed to him (£5.4m) during the year ending Jan 2019.

Wakefield don't. Not sure what the deal is with Hull KR now once Hudgell is gone.
Salford don't either. Koukash didn't pay them all off either btw. Instead, the club avoided any punishment for entering administration (like we did) by agreeing to pay off all creditors via a CVA. Except they never actually bothered to pay them all back, which is why super league then decided to dish out their punishment in this season just gone. Once Salford's season was effectively over and so the punishment had absolutely zero effect on the club whatsoever.

But, you know. I'm not bitter or anything icon_confused.gif

The stability of Wakefield doesn't make any sense to me. Congratulations to them for it but they have no sugar-daddy and are playing in a crumbling stadium so it would be good if Mr Carter and his colleagues ran a seminar for the rest of us on how the hell they are doing it.

icon_lol.gif yep it baffles me too, when I was down there helping out with the stadium barrier repairs and then using the unit in the corner brewing there was times when I sat with Chris and we discussed areas of saving, one of the biggest was the utilities saving on electric and water, staff wages does help and there's a little army of workers pecking away and repairs too all volentary but given tickets for the game and they do earn them too.
at the time emley football club was playing there and used to leave power on so they they got kicked out.
evening games the floodlights lights bar a couple near the changing rooms was turned off when it was seen that the stadium was empty, many a time I got caught out bringing casks back from the north stand
he always said you look after your pennies the pounds will come later.
when he was interested in bradford a few yrs back you missed out on someone who would of shown you the thrifty way to do it.
